How does it help me?
Let's take an easy example. Say we have a pedal board with wah, distortion, chorus and delay pedals. Most of our pedals need 9v DC but one needs 18v AC.
We normally plug our guitar into the wah pedal which is patched to the distortion pedal and then a cable goes to the Amp input. Another cable from the amps's effects "send" runs out to the chorus pedal which is patched to the delay and another cable runs back into the effects "return".
Power comes from an extension cable bringing high voltage power to our feet - right next to our pint glass - and we have a 9v DC PSU and 18v AC PSU plugged in there. That’s a total of 4 cables running across the stage plus high voltage power where I don't want it and 15 minutes of setup time as long as I don't forget
to bring a cable!
With PedalSnake life gets simpler. Firstly, we have all our high voltage power at the backline so we don't need mains cable in the performance area. We connect our 9v DC PSU to one 'snake channel that has a power pigtail set at each end. We connect our 18v AC PSU to another channel with a similar power pigtail set.
Then we connect our Amp In to the distortion pedal using a single guitar signal pigtail set. And finally we connect our send/return to a dual guitar pigtail set to connect the chorus and delay pedals.
Our setup time is minimal (most guitarists will keep the 'snake connected to the pedal board all the time) and we only have one cable across the stage. And if your setup changes in the future - you can change your pigtails to adapt!
Simple huh?
