Eneloop Pedal Juice in Black

SANYO now has announced a black version of the eneloop Pedal Juice, which is a rechargeable DC 9V battery unit for effects pedals. I have one of these, and I find it extremely useful.

Sometimes you just want to bring a pedal or two to a jam or a gig, and the Pedal Juice is the perfect tool for this.

I had a brief but good talk with one of the main guys at Sanyon when I went to NAMM in Janauary. Apparently, not everyone loves the white version, so now there is a black one available. I admit, it does look better! The white one kind of stands out like a sore thumb on a stage floor, although I am not one to care about looks...

The Pedal Juice is available at music stores all over the USA, and the black version will be available in late spring 2011. Both versions have an MSRP of $199.99. The black and the white Pedal Juice was displayed at the NAMM Show 2011.

Portable, rechargeable lithium-ion 9V power supply (max output 2,000mA, or 1,000mA per port when using both power ports)

I have one and it's so great.
It's mounted on my pedal board. One charge lasts a REALLY long time and the sound from my gear is mint.
