"Luke Brennan, MD at myVolts giving a demonstration of how you can daisychain multiple synthesizers, from a single USB power source.
With a background in power adapters, myVolts have developed a range of solutions so you can power your synths, pedals, AV gear and more with USB. You can even power items that were previously powered by batteries. Not only that, but they have created solutions that allow you to do that without the buzz and humm usually associated with USB power.

In this video, he talks of how Step Up, a USB-C solution. With our 'Power My Gear' free webtool, you can plan out your USB power setup easily.

Want Clean audio with your Zoom L6 mixer?

Digitakt, Volca Drum and CB Onward: Silent Alchemist Power video upload by myVolts

"Want to hear the silence?
.
At myVolts, we're not just trying to power your gear, we want to give you the best possible audio output too.
.
You may not realise it, but isolation of your power sources keeps your output clean and as you intended.
Everything (including the L6 is powered via USB from the Silent Alchemist).
.
This is a clean feed recorded onto an SD card on the Zoom L6 Mixer.

Note especially between 27 seconds, when the Zoom recording is turned on (pressing the button that turns Red) and 32 Seconds when 'Play' is pressed on the Digitakt. Nice bit of silence right there, no rattle, no hum.

We're all about simplifying your process, with solutions that just work.
.
Setup info 1:
4 X USB Power ports used
1- Digitakt with 12V Step Up.
2-Korg Volca Drum 9V+ Step Up
3-Standard USB-C cable takes 5V and Powers the Zoom L6.
4. Chase Bliss Onward pedal with 9V Negative Step Up.

Audio setup:
Digitakt connected to Zoom L6
Volca Drum output sent through CB onward into Zoom L6.

Note: we would normally give a mixer/recorded it's own independent power source, this is probably the origin of the noise in the mix. However, with the Silent Alchemist, it's not a concern, isolation means no noise, even when sharing a power source.

"Need some silence? 😃
.
At myVolts, we're not just trying to power your gear, we want to give you the best possible audio output too.
.
You may not realise it, but isolation of your power sources keeps your output clean and as you intended.
.
Have a listen (headphones recomended) to our two setups here, the first 30 seconds is USB powered from a standard AC power hub. It's not imposing itself on the sound, but if you listen to that silence at the start, you've got unwanted noise. 😢
.
In the second setup, the noise just isn't there. The Silent Alchemist helped you avoid something you now won't need to clean up afterwards.
.
We're all about simplifying your process, with solutions that just work.

Setup info 1:
3 X USB Power ports used
1- Digitakt with 12V Step Up.
2-Korg Volca Drum 9V+ Step Up
Our Crazychain CC47N1 converts polarity and tip size to power the Chase Bliss Onward pedal.
3-Standard USB-C cable takes 5V and Powers the Zoom L6.

Audio setup:
Digitakt connected to Zoom L6
Volca Drum output sent through CB onward into Zoom L6.

Note: we would normally give a mixer/recorded it's own independent power source, this is probably the origin of the noise in the mix. However, with the Silent Alchemist, it's not a concern, isolation means no noise, even when sharing a power source.


Setup info 2:
As above, regarding Audio.
The power setup is slightly different, each device gets it's own USB-C power source, so four in total.
