Anyone fix a power strip under their board?

keir

I'm having a bit of an effects reshuffle and have a couple of pedals that need wall plugs. 

Ive got enough clearance under my board for a power strip and plugs but having the cable sticking out is a bit of a pain. 

Does anyone know where you can get a power strip with a detachable cord that is about the same size / depth as a standard power strip?

Or is there a better solution I'm missing?

Thanks

I was just looking at this. You might be as well to get the bits separately- B&Q and others sell the cable, the IEC male/female connectors and the power strips themselves. Or you could buy a regular power strip and make the cable detachable yourself by way of some IEC connectors.



@ICBM may have something to say about potential safety concerns with the DIY approach. Or not...

I use these (also handy for plugging into UPS for those tricky sound limited gigs)
cheap and slimline. Easy enough to dual lock with a cable tie as well
just cable tie the cord to the end of your board
resist the tenmptation to cool it
quite easy to unscrew and cut to length as long as you aren't a total womble

I used to have a strip under my Pedaltrain. For storage I just coiled the mains lead up and put it on top of the pedals in the case.

They're cool but man they're not cheap! The idea of the power strip was so I could be a cheap skate and sell my power supply ha!

I got a 6 gang RFI/Surge proof for £80.

That's not so bad I suppose, thanks for the heads up

In the past I have used under-desk power modules from Office Reality. Good quality and easily detachable cable. Available 2, 3 and 4 gang. But not cheap: £30-£35 including 3 metre cable.
