Sanyo Pedal Juice REVIEW (GG-261) How to play

Hi, how you doing? Justin here!
Um, in this little video today,

I want to tell you about a cool new
product that I've discovered.

Um, and it's made by Sanyo,

who have never really been on my radar
for making cool guitar stuff.

But they've come out with
something that I think is really cool.

that I'm using all the time.

And, uh, you know people send me stuff
quite often to check out and

most of the time I don't end up using it
that much.

But this I'm using like al-
- like everyday.

Um. It's called the Pedal Juice
and it looks like this.

And it's about the size,
of a Boss pedal I guess,

and it's basically a big rechargeable battery
which is pretty useful for me actually.

I find in the studio all the time,
you know I'm not running

so much of a pedal board very much
these days.

I tend to just grab whatever pedals
are around, and rather than having

to muck around with a
power supply,

I can just grab this
and this will power two pedals like this.

But I've also stuck it on a daisy-train
and powered a few more pedals.

So I know it'll power like four or five.
Don't know if you're supposed to do
that or not.

Um, it powers up to two-thousand
milli-amps, which is quite a lot.

A lot of pedals like distortion pedals
I know do about ten, maybe fifteen.

And they say if you're using "low-ampage"
pedals- I guess that's what it's called-

Like, ones that only use like,
ten, fifteen, twenty.

You can get up to fifty hours
of charge out of this.

Now, I haven't run it out yet.

I've always charged it up again, because

just when I'm not using it I stick it
into the power chord.

But, it's such a convenient idea.
I really-

-I mean, I'm really serious.

I never really thought it would kinda
shake my world.

But I'm using it all the time,
you know.

When I'm shifting between here- My kinda-
the control room, my studio,

into the live room.

It's got some other cool things about it
too, which is

that it eliminates "ground hum".

Now, I'm in a pro studio here.

So we've got different kinds of power
circuits here.

But if you got your amp or
your fx pedals

on the same, uh, uh,
phase as your fridge,

or fluorescent lights,

you'll often get a kind of buzzing

through your amp when you use

a power supply for your pedals
if you don't use battery.

This gets rid of that.

Which is a really useful trick, you know.

Um, it means that you can leave your
pedals plugged into this thing all the time

and you've just got one power-on button.

It's only got one button, right?
So you press it on and the light goes green

Um it also gives you a warning.
The green light turns to orange

when it's getting on low power
and then to red when, you know,

when, you know, you gotta charge it.

I'm thinking like all the times when I
was out doing gigs and stuff

and you know, I had a small pedal board there,

and I had run a power
cable out from the back of the stage

out to the front to power my
wild pedal,

or whatever pedals I had on the ground
with me.

I think it's a really really cool
little idea.

And it came with the two nine volt
charging cable thingies.

A nice little bag to put it in!

Um, a phase reversal thing.
So, for-
- sometimes you get pedals

where the center pin is the
wrong way around.

I don't know why people do that.

Why don't pedal manufacturers
just sort it out?

Make them all the same.
Anyway,

um, they don't.

And, it comes with the little charger
unit for itself.

But if you're looking for a solution
for powering all your guitar fx pedals,

I really think this is a cool little kit.

Um, I have no Idea how much it costs!

Because I didn't buy it.

But I'm sure if you google it,
you'll find out pretty quickly

How much it costs and how much it's
selling for.

Um,I believe these guys are gonna be at all
the trade shows this year,

so you might wanna go and check that out.

But, uh, very cool little unit!

Let me give a quick uh, little close-up

before I can not trip over my guitar cable
here.

Here you go!

Look at that!

Here we go!
This is called the

"Sanyo Eneloop".
That's what is written on the top there.

There's the little- well these come out
of course

- That's your charger to charge the thing
inside.

Very cool little unit.

Flat bottom, so it's ready to be velcro-ed
up and stuck on your pedal board.

Um, I think you'll probably like it.

Well done Sanyo!

A company that doesn't normally do guitar
effects pedals

making an object that's really
really cool,

and really really useful.
I like that! You might too!

Go and check it out!

See you again, take care!

Bye-bye!
