I always just wrap the cord and stick inside the prongs, but if anyone has a better way of storing these, I'd appreciate it. They all crap out eventually, but if I could figure a better way to store them after a gig...

Mr. Haselman,
Try making you a small draw-string bag..aka a tobacco sack..Just kinda roll the cord up, and place the unit inside the bag..Keeps them from getting tangled, and keeps them from getting banged up, or banging against other equipment..
You can use denim,canvas,suede leather..what ever you have available...and a piece of shoestring, or any kind of cord..works..
RP...'come on in'...

I put mine in those small zip-lock freezer bags and mark the bag with the name of the piece it goes to. It keeps cords from getting tangled and you always know which one goes with what piece of equipment.

If you have a lot of pedals, get a pedalboard and wire them all into one power supply:

no wall warts, and lot less wear and tear, easy set up and tear down.

Mike,
Try a "1-Spot". It's a narrow wall wart that can power a bunch of units at once. I do my Fulldrive, RV-3, T-WAh, tuner and one more with it.
In fact, you can just buy the cables and use any power supply. It daisy-chains them all together. It only works on 9v units, though. BTW, the power cable on the 1-Spot is more heavy duty, as well.
Joe

Hey, Joe. Yeah, that's the problem. When I'm using everything I have one for the Hilton, one for the DD3, one for my pedal board, one for my inears, one for my fiddle wireless, one for my guitar wireless...OK I'll stop now. BTW, you've been sounding GREAT on the PHC.
