If your guitar pedal board has ever run out of battery during a gig, or if you’ve ever wanted to go busking but didn’t have the necessary equipment, you know how frustrating it can be to lack a power outlet when you need it most. Our friends at Omnicharge recently sent us their Omni 20+ power bank to test, and we’ve absolutely loved it. For musicians who need portable power on the go, this is the solution for you.
About Omnicharge Omni 20+
The Omnicharge Omni 20+ is an intelligent portable power bank with a capacity of 20,000 mAh, capable of charging a wide range of consumer electronics. In addition to standard USB connectivity, it features a 120V/230V AC outlet (depending on your region/version), a DC input/output, and built-in wireless charging. This makes the Omni 20+ one of the most feature-rich and flexible power banks on the market today—perfect for the tech-savvy musician.
The Omni 20+ can charge various electronic music gear, including keyboards, electric drum kits, DJ equipment, and more.
Note: Some guitar amplifiers may not work with the Omni 20+ depending on their power requirements. Please check your amp’s specifications to ensure that the required wattage does not exceed the output of your Omnicharge power bank.
Omnicharge claims that its power bank can easily power each of the devices listed below for a minimum of 5 hours. Based on our testing, we can confirm this is accurate. The Omni 20+ had no issues powering our digital keyboard, drum kit, and other office gear for hours. However, it was unable to power our Marshall Bluetooth speaker, which requires 250W of power. Therefore, we highly recommend verifying that your instrument or equipment is supported before purchasing an Omnicharge device.
More about Omnicharge
Omnicharge officially supports the following devices:
- Nord Stage 3 Compact
- Roland FA-06
- Studiologic Numa Compact 2x

- Moog Grandmother Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer and Step Sequencer
- Behringer X Air XR18 18-channel Tablet-controlled Digital Mixer

For those who require even more power, Omnicharge offers a larger power bank, the Omni Ultimate, which has a capacity of 38,400 mAh. The Omni Ultimate also features a swappable battery (but no wireless charging). We personally recommend the regular Omni 20+, as it is much lighter and easier to carry. Additionally, despite the Omni Ultimate's extra capacity, it still cannot power many guitar amplifiers on the market due to its insufficient wattage.
Omnicharge's new power banks are an excellent way to ensure that your power needs are met on the go. If you are a busker, gigging keyboardist, drummer, or anyone who uses a lot of portable devices, we highly recommend this device to you.
