AC Power Supply Expansion Kit for 9V/12V/18V AC-powered Effects Pedals

Formidably Flexible.

Power your pedals with Ojai R30—the highest horsepower, most technologically advanced effects pedal power supply of its size. You get clean, rock-steady power for your 9V, 12V and 18V effects pedals in a low profile, expandable package, giving you room to grow.
Ojai R30’s dual-stage topology, pre-regulated outputs, optically isolated feedback, and advanced multistage filtering allow your pedals to achieve their highest possible dynamic range.

 

Features

Never run out of outputs.

Is your pedalboard growing? Gain more outputs by connecting additional Ojai units to the 24V Thru jack. Or use Ojai R30 to add five more outputs to our Zuma power supply (sold separately). Ojai R30 is part of a truly expandable, modular power distribution system that can grow with your pedalboard.

Hear your pedals, not your power.

Many popular guitar pedals were originally designed to work with batteries. Since batteries are inherently very low noise and not susceptible to ground loops, these pedals often were not designed to be resistant to noise from power supplies. Our ultra-low-noise design prevents power noise from bleeding into the audio signal, allowing your pedals to deliver the highest possible dynamic range.

World tour ready.

Playing gigs all around the world? No need to purchase separate power supplies for your international tour. Ojai R30 has automatic worldwide power compatibility built-in (when connected with the appropriate IEC cable). Whether you’re on 120V, 240V, 100V, or any variation in between, Ojai R30 will deliver clean, reliable power to your pedals, even if the venue has dirty power.

12V and 18V options.

Do you have pedals that require 12V or 18V? Ojai R30 has you covered. Two channels have selectable 9, 12, or 18V output voltages.
Some analog pedals designed for 9V operation may provide higher output and/or more clean headroom when run at higher voltages such as 12V or 18V. However, others will simply start smoking and melting, so please check with the manufacturer of your pedal before operating at a higher-than-standard voltage!

Dual isolation.

Ojai R30’s all analog circuitry offers two stages of isolation. Each of the five output channels is individually isolated from the 24V DC, and the 24V DC is isolated from the AC input power, eliminating ground loop and AC line noise issues. Ojai R30 also provides dual power regulation: Wide-bandwidth optically isolated feedback loops on each channel, as well as on the input, allow both the input and outputs to adjust for changes, ensuring solid output under changing load conditions.

Energy efficient.

Don’t let the blue chassis fool you: Ojai R30 is green at heart. Significantly more efficient than linear power supplies, Ojai R30 is able to deliver substantially more current while handling a much wider range of input voltages. Ojai R30’s high efficiency design delivers high-current power distribution in a compact unit, for a small carbon footprint and a small pedalboard footprint.

Pedalboard friendly.

Ojai R30’s ultra-low profile design means that it can fit under just about any pedalboard. It also features built in threaded hardware for easy mounting.

FAQ

Dimensions

What are the dimensions and weight of Ojai R30?

Ojai R30 dimensions: 5.1″ x 2.3″ x 1.15” (130mm x 58mm x 29mm)
Ojai R30 weight: 6 oz. (171g)
PS-124 power adapter dimensions: 4.2″ x 2.15″ x 1.25” (107mm x 55mm x 32mm)
PS-124 power adapter weight: 4.7 oz. (133g)

Linking

When Ojai R30 units are linked together, how many pedals can I power?

Ojai R30 provides a huge amount of power. You can link together as many as 7 Ojai units powered from one 24V power adapter, powering up to 35 effects pedals (depending on the total current requirement for the pedals). While it’s unlikely that anyone would go to such extremes, we wanted to ensure that the Ojai product family delivers maximum flexibility and expandability. A much more likely scenario would be to link 2 or 3 Ojai units together, powering a combination of up to 15 high and low current draw pedals.

Mounting

How can I mount Ojai R30 to my pedalboard?

Ojai R30 features built in threaded hardware for easy mounting to the top or bottom of most pedalboards. A drill template and mounting screws are included in the box.
Don’t want to drill? Ojai R30 is incredibly lightweight, and can also be mounted to the top or bottom of most pedalboards using VELCRO® or Dual Lock™.  You may also choose to mount the included 24V power adapter using VELCRO or Dual Lock.
