Eventide MF/TF Power Supply falling out and off pedalboard!!!!!!!!

[slopeshoulder]

Can anyone help me? I've got a timefactor and a modfactor. They have their own big and heavy power supplies.
- I had 'em in a power strip attached upside down on the bottom of my board, and they fall out of it.
- Then I got 2 wall wart removers, velcoed them to the bottom, and plugged in the wall warts to them. They pulled the wall wart removers off the velcro!
:FM:BITCH:puh

OK, so don't spare my feelings: what am I doing wrong??

The problem is that Eventide designed these pedals with massive current consumption to go on pedalboards when there aren't power supplies that pwople use that will power them. Then they include an enormous heavy power supply which makes the pedals a pain to use on a pedalboard. This is the number one reason I haven't bought a TF.

+1, it's pricey, but will guarantee a tight contact. Sometimes I need a shoehorn to pull my pedals off the board..with that dual lock -- it is strong

Try one of these Furman Power Strips. They secure the wall warts tightly.

3M Dual Lock helped me as well. They are really strong.

The Eventide supplies just seem to fall out very easily don't they. You'd hope Eventide could be a bit cleverer in the future. Wall warts bite the big one.

Got it: Furman plug lock and 3M dual lock.
I'm now locked and loaded.
Thanks!!

Is it a pedaltrain or pedaltrain/rail style board?

[slopeshoulder]

no, a trailer trash.

Go to Walgreen's housewares aisle and get some multi-colored reuseable zip ties, and strap the power supplies to the strips. Best invention ever...

+1 seems like the best bet to me... then use heavy duty velcro for the powerstrip itself.

Yeap, zip ties.

This was my first thought. Cheap, yet infinitely effective.

I use one of these as a power strip on my pedalboard:

I have a whammy wall wart, timefactor wall wart, and pedal power 2 cord going into with no problems, they are all very snug when plugged into it, they don't fall out at all.
