Very specific (probably stupid) PP2 question

Post by retinal orbita »

So after taking some well intentioned advice from the forum I am investing in a iso power supply and I think the pedal power 2 is sufficient for my needs - I'm trying to read up on the various option and I just wanted to see if you fine peeps can lend me your infinite wisdom - I run a Cathedral and a Delaylab (both run at 9v 200ma) and I'm wondering if those can be run from the #5-6 (L6) outlets provided. It says 250ma max so I am pretty sure it'll work but I just wanted to ensure that those will actually work with these pedals - I'm using those EHX 200ma 9v adapters on both right now and I would really hate to have to keep using them because it's such a pain in my ass to have all these wall warts...

I'm sure the guy at the guitar shop could tell me this, but I often am distrustful of those guys and their desire to quickly wisk me out the door after taking my hard earned cash....

I ran my SMMH off the 5 and 6 outlets
Which i believe has the same power requirements as the cathedral

My brother uses a SMMH with the exact same adapter I use now

So I'm going to assume it's all good. I just like a clarification from an actual human, not a product description....

Cheers, thank you my friend!

It'll work nicely.

Cathedral's current draw is 163mA, if ever you needed 250mA for another pedal with high current draw, you could even use a current doubler cable plugged into 2 of the 100mA isolated outputs to obtain 200mA.

Thank you friends... you have been most helpful!

Of course I asked and of course no one could tell me anything about the current draw.... but low and behold I got it home and all works the way it should!!!!

Yea, remember also the current supply may diminish slightly at operating temperatures or with age, but I wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes a problem.
