P3 - Phantom Power for Pedals & Active Pickups

One cable for power and signal ...and better tone.

P3 supplies power for effects pedals and active pickups using any standard stereo (TRS) cable. When switched on P3 provides phantom power for effects pedals and/or active pickups: 9 Volts flows from the amplifier (or P3 PowerStation) out to the pedals/pickups while the music signal flows back over the same cable. Musicians aurally confirm its laboratory measurements: P3 has no negative effect on tone and in fact improves tone because supply voltage is regulated and no longer dwindles or fails as do batteries.

Cuts cabling in half ...redefines flexibility.

On the pedalboard, P3 redefines flexibility. P3 power may be distributed by a break-out box (via standard DC barrel connectors). Also, because any P3 pedal is also a break-out for P3 power, one P3 pedal in the chain (closest to GAGA) may send power out from its DC input jack. Moreover, this power is then daisy-chainable (or Power-Chainable) to all stock pedals. P3 offers an end to dead batteries, power cables, ground loop hum, and power problems.
