Power Strips?

Byronc · 06/20/2009, 06:19 PM

What brands of power strips do you all use to organize the mess of chords under your tanks? I have only heard of American DJ strips, but I wanted to see what you all recommend,

I would get the DJ power center definitely. can handle up to 15 amps, and has each on its own switch for easy powering on and off...I will be getting 1 or two of these for my next setup.

sounds good but dont know anything about them..sound pricey too

i use plain old strips from home depot or wal-mart plug into a GFI

Should really get those off the floor. A leak could cause some major issues.

The DJ strips are more money but they have individual switches.

I got my dj power strips for $20 at guitar centers. Even at $30 it is a cheap price to assure good and safe power strips.

I would suggest the same.

I think I found an awesome alternative to the dj strips unless you want a cleaner install for viewing purposes. But since all my stuff's under the stand I didn't really care. 6 outlets switched, one not switched, 15 amp breaker for surge protection, and all for under 20 bux!

Thanks for the input, I ended up picking up an American DJ power strip at a local guitar center for 30 bucks today.
