Rockboard USB-A 5V Voltage Converter

The RockBoard Power Ace USB A3 can power a wide variety of pedals safely and reliably from a standard USB‑A interface. Power banks, laptops, or USB chargers are all suitable power sources, provided they offer the typical 5V output usually supplied via USB. Guitarists should keep in mind, however, that pedals requiring significant processing power – such as modern delays or reverbs – often have increased current demands, and may not function reliably if the power source delivers too little output: This can lead to tonal interference and limited functionality. Such issues are mostly likely to arise with older, passive USB hubs or with laptops running on battery power. Conversely, analogue pedals with low power consumption can generally be used without problems with the RockBoard converter across different power sources.

RockBoard is part of the Warwick group, which is based in Markneukirchen in Germany's Vogtland region. RockBoard's range focuses on pedalboards, which are available in numerous different designs to suit any application and budget. They are complemented by an extensive range of accessories, from slick patchbays for expanding the boards and high-quality patch cables for loss-free connection through to high-performance power adapters and the QuickMount system for rapid effect changes. In short, RockBoard offers virtually everything that players need to easily set up their own individual pedalboard.
