Q: What is the Snark SA-2 Daisy Chain for 5 Pedals used for?

The Snark SA-2 Daisy Chain is designed to power up to five guitar pedals from a single power supply. It's a convenient way to keep your pedalboard tidy and reduce the number of power adapters you need, making setup and teardown quicker for gigs or practice sessions. This helps streamline your rig for better organization.

Q: How do I connect my pedals using the Snark SA-2?

Simply plug the straight end of the SA-2 into a compatible 9V DC power supply, such as the Snark SA-1 (sold separately). Then, connect the five angled barrel connectors to the power input jacks of your individual guitar pedals. Ensure all your pedals require 9V DC power and have compatible negative-center barrel jacks for proper operation.

Q: What type of power supply is compatible with the Snark SA-2 Daisy Chain?

The Snark SA-2 Daisy Chain is intended for use with the Snark SA-1 power supply, or any other standard 9V DC power supply with a negative-center barrel connector. It's crucial to use a power supply that can provide enough current (milliamps) for all the pedals you plan to connect. Check the current draw of each pedal and sum them to find the total current needed.

Q: Can the Snark SA-2 Daisy Chain power any type of pedal?

The SA-2 is designed for pedals that use a standard 9V DC, negative-center power input. While it can power most common guitar pedals, it's important to verify that all your pedals meet these specifications. Pedals requiring different voltages (e.g., 12V, 18V) or higher current draws than your power supply can provide should not be used with this daisy chain.

Q: Will using a daisy chain introduce noise into my signal?

Daisy chains can sometimes introduce noise if pedals are not isolated or if there's a ground loop. However, for many common analog pedals, the Snark SA-2 works perfectly fine. If you experience unwanted noise, consider using an isolated power supply or consulting with a Sweetwater Sales Engineer for personalized gear advice on power solutions.

It works just as described, it powers all my effects, and leaves my floor free of extra cables.

Work fine, and great price but they heads take up a lot of space, if you pedals have side power jacks these will force you to place your pedals farther apart than just the patch cable.
