I also hate wall warts. Can't stand the confounded things. Unfortunately,
I have added a MIDI Drawbar unit to my rig, which is a great piece of gear
and really improves my Electro, but unfortunately has a wall wart. I have
some ideas on how to keep it under control which I will share once that part
of my rig is fully complete.

As for Invisible stand tricks, I have one of my own I would like to share.
I just received my brand new stereo Speakeasy classic rack preamp. Thanks
to Steve Hayes for another great product! I never quite know where to put
the stupid rack with the Speakeasy and I stumbled upon a pretty neat
solution. I have an Anvil 2-space rack in which the Speakeasy resides and
this awkward rack usually ends up on the floor or way off the stage where I
cannot get to it. I fiddled around with my Invisible stand and devised a
way to suspend the rack from the underside of the stand, using carabeeners.
It sits just below my RD600, barely visible but yet right where I can do
real time tweaks. Plus, I can mount some power strippage in the rack and
solve my wall wart issues right there in the same rack. Here is a (poor
quality) photo of the hanging Speakeasy rack, for those interested:

Now that I have the Voce drawbars with the Electro and the suspended stereo
Speakeasy, I'm a happy camper! Hopefully, this will quench my gear lust for
awhile!

I Hate wall warts!

A few years back, I was using a V5 on stage. I had to dangle the wall
wart
wire quite openly in my playing area. Right before first set, my foot
caught the wimpy cord and the cable was ripped out right at the wart.

It sucked big time. Luckily, I had the Keyboard of the 60¹s and 70¹s
board
in my JV1080, and I used its¹ sounds. They sounded weird with my Pro 3T,
Even with all the effects bypassed on the module.
