A quick question about power..

Post by Pizza »

Sorry for the giant picture.

So I have a one spot which powers 8. There is a power out on the pitch black which says 200 ma. I have a 4 spot daisy chain which would power the rest. Can I run the daisy chain out of the pitch black without any complications?

Total noob with this.

I'd expect you probably can.

Look up the current draw (in mA) of the pedals online and add it up. If the total doesn't exceed 1000ma it should in theory be doable. I'm not sure about that fuzz face though, is it NPN or PNP?
If it works (which I expect it probably will) you might experience some added hum because of the pedals sharing a common ground. I own that Hardwire reverb too and have it daisy chained on a 1-spot together with an EHX Freeze, which causes hum that isn't there when I power either pedal alone with the same 1-spot. When I had the Freeze powered by the 1-spot and the Hardwire with a battery, the hum wasn't there, but it's only a minor hum and I currently don't want to invest in another solution 'cause I'm contemplating changing my board's overall powering soon.
