Hi there! I thought I might as well share my brand new pedalboard, which is completely wireless. It has a 50,000 MAH battery (made by Krisdona) that uses a USB C to DC (with reverse polarity add-on) to power the QC. The expression pedal (Dunlop DVP5) is passive so it doesn’t take power. I have stripped down Line 6 wireless system mounted to the top invetween the QC and the pedal, which I take out and plug in to my guitar to get an input. It runs a second wireless out to the FX loop on my amp. If you’re curious, the board is a Temple Audio Solo 18.
I don’t have the krisdonia but used a 50,000mah maxoak that gave me 6 hrs non stop and still had 3/4 lights on. And I also used the baseus 30,000 and that gave me about 4.5 continual hrs while also powering up a midi baby from it as well. So I’m guessing the krisdonia should be in the 8-10 hr range
Thanks.
I’m trying to reproduce what you have done. I received the Krisdonia.
You said it “uses a USB C to DC (with reverse polarity add-on) to power the QC”.
I’m not sure I understand how you’re making a direct connection from the Kris to the round connector (center negative) on the QC. Are there some adapters, like the “reverse polarity add-on” that you are using?
Got it working … thanks.
Did you use adhesive pads to mount the Krisdonia to the bottom of the Templeboard.
And did you use the quick disconnect adhesive pads to mount the QC and your pedal to the top?
Thanks
Kinda be careful what you use, I have the same setup, usbc to dc is the way to go, this way you don’t need to set the voltage every time. The pack shuts off on its own after you shut down the QC.
But I bought this one and it worked.
I bought a different one first and it didn’t work, lucky I tried again rather than just using the dc. It has to be a 12v and data travels from usbc to dc, this is important I guess. Then yeah just a polarity switcher, this one is center pos. The qc needs center neg. You can get a usbc to dc that is center neg and skip the adapter, they make those too, I didn’t know that til after. Either way this one works and my board is wireless. I get a ton of hours on it before a charge. No heat, no noise, the board looks good. Plus with the pass through I can just plug it in through the battery pack, and I’m not goin in and out the dc plug on the QC. It will charge while I’m playing.
And presumably you could power straight from a USBC wall plug (20W or 25?) using the same USBC-DC cable straight in to the DC input of the QC, bypassing the battery, if for some reason you wanted to do that?
Do you have an example of a centre-neg USBC to DC? I haven’t found one on Amazon yet…
