Doesn’t my pedal need a 300mA power supply?
Not if it runs on a standard 9V battery. The adapter available
from the pedal’s manufacturer may be able to supply up to
200 or 300mA, but pedal effects which will run on a battery
will not draw more than about 65mA.
Can I use the Pedal Power instead of the AC adapter for my
processor or MIDI pedal?
No. The Pedal Power is intended to run only pedal effects
which are normally powered by 9V batteries. You can plug
the AC adapter supplied with your processor or MIDI pedal
into the Pedal Power’s AC auxiliary outlet.
Can I power my pedal which requires 18V (uses two
9V batteries)?
Yes. Because the Pedal Power’s outputs are individually iso-
lated, you can wire two of them in series for 18V. Be sure to
observe proper polarity. Voodoo Lab can provide you with a
custom cable to do this.
How can I get additional DC power cables?
Contact Voodoo Lab or go to www.voodoolab.com/cables.htm
for more information.
What if I need a special cable?
Voodoo Lab can provide any cable you need.
What is a toroidal transformer and why does my Pedal Power
have one?
Power transformers create a magnetic field that can cause
hum and noise in your effects. A toroidal transformer has a
specially designed core that greatly reduces this field. The
Pedal Power uses this type of transformer so that your pedal
board is quiet.
