Description
PB-1 is the power supply for guitar effects with 9V direct current (DC). It has eight full galvanically separated outputs which enable to built professional guitar systems without ground loops and crosstalks. It is possible to switch the voltage polarization in outputs no. 4 and 8.
PB-1 enables also to obtain voltages 12V, 15V DC using adapters offered by G LAB and 18V DC using simple to ‘do it yourself’ adapter.
Farther info about adapters is available in
» Accessories tab.
PB-1 is worldwide voltage compatible (nominal line voltage from 100V to 230V) by connecting the mains cable (attached to the packet) with a connector appropriate for a given country. PB-1 could be fix as well in a pedalboard as in a Rack systems using the GLAB 1U RMS FRONT PANEL.
Thanks to applied in the PB-1 SMPS technology:
- DC output voltage is guaranteed in the range from 100V to 240V line voltage,
- there is high output power in proportion to small size and weight,
- PB-1 has no typical mains transformer which generates electromagnetic field interferences received by other devices situated near to it (e.g. inductors in the wah-wah effect).
The PB-1 package contains labels for cables describing. Showing polarization, energy flow and voltages makes easier to organize the pedalboard and reduce the likehood of effects’ damage caused by faulty connection.

Cables for ‘do it yourself’ linking method
Persons with qualifications and experiences in electrotechnics can prepare by themselves cables which are shown below. In this purpose it is needed to use heat shrink tubes which are enclosed to the PB-1. Below there are shown diagrams of linking wires without soldering and diagrams of cables for ‘do it yourself’ preparing.
The way of linking two wires.
The way of linking three cables.
The cable for the 9V effects with polarity CTR + (centre positive) (9V CTR - input, 9V CTR + output).
The cable for the 18V effects with polarity CTR - (centre negative) (two 9V CTR - inputs, one 18V CTR - output).
The cable for supplying the effects requiring 18V DC with polarity CTR + (centre positive) (two 9V CTR - inputs, 18V CTR + output).
The cable for supplying two 9V effects with polarity CTR - (centre negative) from one 9V source (9V CTR - input, two 9V CTR - outputs).
