Roland Electronic Keyboard Power Supply (PSB-120)

I felt more comfortable going with a Roland branded product for my Roland keyboard despite the slightly increased price

Just like the first one I had!

Just what I needed

You read that title right. I've been troubleshooting a problem with my Roland AX-Edge for the past several months where, randomly, it would start telling me the battery was about to die and then power off, despite not having batteries in the compartment.My Edge is out of warranty, and I couldn't afford to take it to a tech only to have them tell me the whole internal logic board needed replacing (the usual answer, from my research, so I figured, I'll try a new power supply first and see if that's the problem - and it was. So happy to not have to constantly swap batteries every 2-3 hours when I have an outlet handy.I know people complain about them being overpriced, but it's not as bad as it used to be. I have an old GK synth that requires an $80 proprietary cable, and it's just a proprietary MIDI transfer cable, nothing special about it. So, $40 to get a PSB that has a Roland warranty is worth it.

I like it because it powers my Boss foot pedals without noise. It’s the original part for the Boss BCB60 pedal board. I also bought one for my Boss GT 100 multi effect unit.

Delivered on time

Excellent quality, as expected from Roland. There are some products I'm willing to compromise on, but the power going into my expensive equipment is not one of them. That's why I only use authentic PSB-120s on all my Roland products. As a result, I have about ten of these things. That's a healthy investment, for sure, but the peace of mind is worth the expense. I've only ever had one problem with these, and that was a cable wearing out through heavy use. I was able to repair it and still use the unit today. The cable length is generous, the connectors are sturdy, and the electronics are dependable. All that said, they are rather pricey, so that's why they only get four stars. Otherwise, perfect.

I bought this to replace a psb-1u adapter for a Roland Gaia and everything is working as expected, this adapter is made in Japan and is definitely higher quality than the half priced knockoffsI know paying $40 for a power adapter can seem like a ripoff, but sometimes when you buy aftermarket items claiming to be compatible, there can be issues. And especially for electronic devices, I don't want to fry my gear because I was trying to save $20..
