Has anybody here used a PedalSnake before?

From www.pedalsnake.com ? I've been tempted for a while and may well pull the trigger this week.

Any user experience here?

i had one, works really well and sounds very good to , no complaints.

I had one and I tried to make it work with my Diezel Einstein (when I owned it a few years back) but it was not good. I had a lot of noise, etc with it. It was a nice piece and their customer support was excellent. I ended up making my own custom snake and haven't had any issues with it.

looks like one big ground loop nightmare

I just purchased one. Haven't had a chance to actually use it yet though since I'm moving soon so everything is a mess.

I have the 4 cable 25 footer with power and worked ok, noisy
and had to work out some ground loop issues . I went back to
Using mogami cables and making my own snake and haven't looked
Back. Also the ends were always needing to be repaired.

Interesting. How were you guys that were experiencing ground loops using it?

I gigged With it for like 3 years , and no issues with noise or reliability. I had the 7 channel 24 foot version, I used it for footswitch, fx loop , and to go in front of my amp. I also ran power to my boss pedals and eventide time factor, really worked perfect. I stopped using it because I needed something longer for the bigger stages I play. I had rapco make me a custom snake similar to it , works excellent also.

I've used one for years with no issues. Mine has a line that goes from some fx to the front of the amp and also an effects loop line. If you use 1 power supply for the group of fx in the front of your amp and a 2nd power supply for whatever's in the loop you won't have any ground loop issues. And that goes for any setup, not just the Pedal Snake.

I've been gigging a 4 channel 18 footer for about two months without a problem.

I've gigged with a 4 audio, 1 power, for at least 7 years without a problem. I use a one spot to power all pedals, out front(wireless,wah,tuner,od,flanger, noise supp.), in the loop(delay, clean boost), no noise, no nothing, works great for me.
