"Before I got this I had 3 wall warts, two extension cords, and a 4 outlet surge protector to power up every thing in the studio, including those annoying 9v transformers which always seem to use up two or more outlets just to plug one in. To power up I had to go around the room, tripping over cords all the way, and throw 4 switches. Now I have one cord going to one outlet. I now throw one switch and supply juice to two amplifiers, a recorder, a drum machine, a desk light, and the pedal board; plus all excess cordage from everything is now neatly rolled up and tied and tucked away out of sight. And everything is surge protected. The product is very well constructed and should last forever. Although I am not using them, they also provide a way to run a phone line and your cable tv through the thing, supposedly to cut down on any interference, hum, etc., and even supply the necessary cords to do it. I wish I had bought this long ago."
