Battery power for a TCHelicon HGXT

[woodenstrings]

As mentioned in another post
Myvolts ripcord for Harmony G XT used with a USB Powerbank
I've used ripcord cables with other pedals successfully..
I believe the cables are specific to brands and pedals based on voltage and connector configuration..

I use this battery with my Phil Jones 75 wt. Double Four bass amp and Yamaha THR5 amps. Have played for over five hours and still have plenty fo juice left.

I ordered the ripcord a few days ago. May take a while to get here. I will post when I have tried it out!

Thanks all for all the help

If you get a hum from a wall plug, it is the filter. If you get other noise, it’s because of not enough voltage/watts. Check your powerbank.
I assume, the cause is the cheap electronic in your cable.

Try, if you can find, a cable from Ripcord. They have a version for the Harmony G-XT. It is a bit more expensive (about 25 USD), but should work. You can buy it from the company myvolts.

Hope that helps.

Thanks all! The ripcord arrived finally…. It does come with a tip converter, not shown in the pic above. It works just fine! Pleased to report!

I also found the small Costco car battery jump starter has a usb out so it may power stuff too.

A splendid musical Christmas/Chanukah/Solstice/Kwanza/Festivus to all!
