Portable pedal power
The German company RockBoard is known throughout the music world for smart solutions, with a lineup full of all kinds of handy little helpers and pedalboard accessories. At the helm is the experienced team from Warwick, who draw on decades of know‑how to make every musician's life as smooth as possible. For instance, the RockBoard Power Ace USB series here lets guitarists react flexibly and effectively to a range of everyday situations: This specific model, the C6, is an apparently simple 60cm cable that turns any USB‑C connection into a clean power source for effects units that run on 9V DC and draw up to 500mA, meaning there's no need for an additional pedalboard power supply – a real blessing for musicians on the move!

How's the output?
The RockBoard Power Ace USB C6 can power a wide variety of pedals safely and reliably from a standard USB‑C interface. Power banks, MacBooks, or USB chargers are all suitable power sources, provided they offer the typical 5V output usually supplied via USB. Guitarists should keep in mind, however, that pedals requiring significant processing power – such as modern delays or reverbs – often have increased current demands, and may not function reliably if the power source delivers too little output: This can lead to tonal interference and limited functionality. Such issues are mostly likely to arise with older, passive USB-A hubs, however, and are less likely with USB-C. Conversely, analogue pedals with low power consumption can generally be used without problems with the RockBoard converter across different power sources.

Keep the gig going on the go
Musicians who are frequently on the road will really appreciate the RockBoard Power Ace USB. Just imagine being able to use that new overdrive in every hotel room on the tour – or maybe at the lakeside with a lightweight mobile setup. Similarly, for performances where power sockets are scarce, such as outdoor festivals or spontaneous street‑music sessions, a decent power bank makes it possible to put together a pedalboard that delivers all the essential sounds – no hassle. It also makes it easy to set up a portable personal warm‑up rig, allowing guitarists to rehearse and relax backstage, sure in the knowledge that they've got their favourite sounds dialled in and ready to go.

About RockBoard
RockBoard is part of the Warwick group, which is based in Markneukirchen in Germany's Vogtland region. RockBoard's range focuses on pedalboards, which are available in numerous different designs to suit any application and budget. They are complemented by an extensive range of accessories, from slick patchbays for expanding the boards and high-quality patch cables for loss-free connection through to high-performance power adapters and the QuickMount system for rapid effect changes. In short, RockBoard offers virtually everything that players need to easily set up their own individual pedalboard.
The show must go on
It's better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it. Musicians performing live have to be prepared for anything – and that includes the pedalboard power supply giving up mid‑gig. The best way to manage these worst‑case scenarios is to come properly equipped. A RockBoard Power Ace USB gives guitarists the option of powering a mini‑tuner or that indispensable booster at the last second via the nearest USB charger. This way, at least the tuning, or the lead sound for solos, will still be intact – so the band can finish the show without any more mishaps.
