If you’re averse to noise you’ll need a larger, more expensive unit like a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power or Strymon Zuma to power modern amperage-chugging effects like big box reverbs, delays, or multi-effects pedals. D’Addario is here to save the day with its XPND kit, which offers a customizable daisy-chain-style power supply that gets its juice from a USB-C power bank. Using all-purpose power banks to power pedals isn’t exactly new, but even the most high-end options falter when they’re tasked with powering hungry digital effects and modelers. None of them offer such a unique twist on the process of chaining one pedal with another.
