The ECO-Dapter’s carbon footprint is neutralized through the purchase of carbon offsets via CarbonFund’s certified carbon reductions, and the pedal also meets Level VI energy efficiency standards set out by the U.S. Department of Energy.
In addition to its environmentally-friendly operation, the ECO-Dapter provides super-quiet, reliable, high-current power to your effects so they can operate at their peak performance levels.
Features include a 9 VDC, 2000 mA regulated power supply, an ultra-low noise floor for silent operation, a space-saving profile that takes up only one outlet space and a 10-foot, 24-gauge power cable that eliminates need for an extension cord.
The strings’ CRT coating extends the life of the string while maintaining a balanced tone and the organic feel of an un-coated string. The result is “something in between" a coated string and uncoated string, delivering the best of both worlds
The strings are available in five standard gauge options, from.009-.042 to .011-.050, and manufactured in the US using the highest quality materials to deliver organic tone, great feel and tuning stability.
