Sanyo

An innovation in powering pedals.

The SANYO KBC-9V3U Pedal Juice is equipped with a high-capacity SANYO eneloop rechargeable lithium-ion battery technology which provides stable, long-lasting 9V power for music effects devices. SANYO is recognized as the leading manufacturer of Li-Ion batteries in the world today. SANYO battery products are used for many commercial/industrial applications today ranging from automotive, power tools, portable computers and telecommunications. Pedal Juice is built upon this legacy of industry leadership.

Up to 50 Hours of Continuous, Quiet, Clean, Stable Power – from the First Note to the Last
Stage and studio recording musicians often need to replace the 9V batteries well before they have been exhausted, in order to prevent any disruption during a musical performance. This only results in users having to purchase, and then discard costly, single-use, alkaline batteries. The sound quality also deteriorates when the battery voltage falls below the proper operating range of an effects box. Now, the SANYO Pedal JuiceTM, KBC-9V3U provides users with up to 50 hours of continuous, quiet, clean, stable power, even as the battery drains. It can be fully recharged in only 3.5 hours using the included AC adaptor.

Eliminates AC Ground Loops - So Your Tone Comes Through Loud and Clear
Many effects boxes, graphic equalizers, portable amps, and recorder products operate using a 9-volt DC power source. AC adapters and 9V dry-cell batteries are the typical sources used to power these types of devices. There are a number of reasons why 9V dry-cell batteries and AC power are not preferred methods for powering musical electronic products. First, musicians must set up their gear near to AC electrical outlets. AC power may inadvertently add electrical noise interference (i.e., AC ground loops, spurious noise, hum, etc.) into be desired signal path. With a 500mA load, a typical AC adapter introduces much more ripple noise into the signal path as compared to the clean power produced by Pedal Juice.

Two 9V DC outputs - Power Multiple Devices; Pedals, Multi-Effect Units, and Portable Recorders
The KBC-9V3U is equipped with a high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery, providing a stable and long-lasting 9V power source for analog and digital effects units and other electronic music gear. The unit includes two separate DC outputs on the back with cables supplied for easy connectivity.

Rechargeable Many Times – Save Money and the Environment
Compared to conventional 9V batteries which lose voltage quickly and must be discarded, Pedal Juice maintains its power level over long periods of time and can be recharged hundreds of times. The KBC-9V3U is built to withstand the most demanding power applications for stage and studio performances. Pedal Juice can power a 10mA effects pedal for up to 50 hours, or a 100mA pedal board for up to 27 hours. With a 500mA current draw (more typical in large multi-effects applications, or in powering synthesizers and multi-track recorders), Pedal Juice can provide steady 9V DC power for almost five hours compared a 9V battery which will operate for about 30 minutes time.

Power Status LED Indicator
A three-stage power indicator makes it easy to see the remaining battery power level. The LED light changes color in three stages from green (over 60% power remaining), to orange (30% to 60% remaining), to red (less than 30%). This enables musicians to see the battery level, at a glance, during their performances.

Convenient One-Button ON/OFF Power Switch for All Effects
TThe KBC-9V3U includes an ON/OFF power switch which allows the user to easily to turn the power of all connected music effects devices ON or OFF at once. This is a convenient feature since many effects devices do not include their ON/OFF power switch and must be manually unplugged from AC power.

Water and Shock Resistant - JIS IPX3 Compliant Water Resistant Enclosure
The portable, rugged, and road-worthy design of the SANYO Pedal Juice will meet the challenge of the most demanding band gig and touring environments. Pedal Juice has achieved a JIS IPX3 water resistant compliance level rating. IPX3 is a Japanese testing standard for water resistance which states that no damage will occur when water is sprayed at a vertical angle of up to 60 degrees from both sides. The durability of Pedal Juice will ease the mind of the working musician who performs in nightclubs and outdoor settings.

DO NOT BUY IT, 2 of them have failed.

| Review By: Roberto Valdez | 8 months, 2 weeks ago

1 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

Pretty simple, it's supposed to power your pedals... think of it like a Daisy Chain without having to plug it into an outlet.

Quality:

I have had 2 and both failed the same way... since they faile 14 months after I bought them, Sanyo will not replace the unit.  It causes A LOT of noise in my chain.

 

I repeat, 2, I have them a change with an exchange and now they both have failed... I ran 4 pedals with it and only 2 were on at any given time, so my load was pretty low.  Waste of money.  Sad, because I love the convinience but the noise is ridiculous.

Value:

If I have to buy one every 14 months it's not worth it, I'd rather buy $150 of 9v Batteries that will last me way more than 14 months.

Overall:

Would not buy it again, simply fails by making your rig noisy.  If Sanyo would have been cool about helping I would reconsider but they were a bit rude and said that I was out of warranty with no regard for customer service.

 

I gigged it once and only took it to my band jam sessions once per week for a year.  So it did not get abused, simply a bad product, TWICE.

What a brilliant idea...

| Review By: David Absalom | 9 months, 5 days ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

Wish i had invented this.  For a gigging musician, not having to run power to the front of the stage to power a pedal board is a huge convenience.  I run a tuner, 2 blues drivers, a wah, and tremelo off the device.  It can get me through 3 gigs before needing a recharge.  It also hold is charge extremely well when turned off.

Quality:

So far, very solid.  I've been using for about 3 months, no noticeable difference yet in battery/charge life.  Is in a solid package and works every time.

Value:

Huge value if you're gigging often and want the convenience of not needing to power your board with yet another extension cord.

Overall:

Again, we'll see how well it lasts over the year/years, but so far the product has performed as advertised.  Its a real convenience to not have to change batteries nor run power to stage front for gigs.

Warning NOT Digitech friendly

Wanted something to power my Digitech Jamman and Rp355. The Pedal Juice will not work for these devices, at least not right out of the box. I have tried to get some support to see if there's a "workaround", but I?m still waiting for a response from Sanyo. The worst regret is that I did not buy it from Musician's Friend, which is not like me. Instead I saved a couple of bucks and bought it new from ebay BIG MISTAKE.  I hope this helps someone else

I play super lush soundscapes - a very full sound that needs a ton of gear to make it work right. Which is why I'm so glad I discovered Pedal Juice - it runs everything just like I have brand new 9volts out of the package. It's also really nice to have a very clear indicator of power left - the light on the unit that changes color gives me peace of mine when I play.

My GF got me one of these for V-day.  Had a resturant gig and brought it with me - brought 9volts too just incase. I played 3 forty minutes sets and the Pedal Juice baredly turned yellow. Sound was clean too. It's pretty cool.
