Pedalboard power supply

[astaroth]

is there any boards/PSU out there that can power both 12V and 9V pedals?

 

[lightice]

Possible, just depends on how much you'd want to pay for it. lol

What 12v pedal are you looking to power and how much mA does it require?

 

[astaroth]

its a guyatone metal monster, 160mA.

Oh, in that case the Artec Power brick is out.

 

[lightice]

Does it really require 160ma?

 

[astaroth]

lol is there such a thing as really need? i dunno man its listed as such i cant really doubt it either.

 

[lightice]

Mm.. yeah, cos most power adapters have more current than required by pedals.
But after reading the guyatone website, it does state 160ma power consumption. Its adapter is 200ma.

Its a bit difficult to get what you're after.
Mainly because of the current rating + voltage, it'd make for quite a big power supply.

Why not just use the supplied power adapter?

Sometimes really bo bian.

 

[astaroth]

hrm cos i bought it 2nd hand din come with adaptor. i oso have another delay coming which also doesnt run on batteries so end up i have more and more adaptors haha.

how bout TRex Fuel Tank or the Fuel Tank Juicy Lucy?

 

[astaroth]

wow ok great suggestion. just checked it out on ebenex's webby. issit regulated power supply?

 

[whee]

well a pp2+ will solve your problems, but its a huge step up from my 1spot. eliminated 90% of the noise, together with use of george l's. my weakest links right now are probably the stupid planet wave instrument cables i use

They are regulated, but the 9v outputs are not isolated from each other.

 

[kahuna]

wad do u guys think about the gator G-bus power supply?

 

[niteblade]

yea the trex would be a good choice for your situation

where does it retail at? cos i cant seem to find a 240V one on ebay.

 

[astaroth]

They are regulated, but the 9v outputs are not isolated from each other.

would that be a major issue with regards to anything, like noise?

 

[theblueark]

Sometimes conflicting voltage requirements and ground loops will cause noise in non isolated power supplies. I'm using a 1spot with 15 effects and no problems though. Another method for your 12V woes may be to use a charge pump like this one:

They typically step up the 9V to 18V, which can easily be stepped down to 12V with a simple voltage divider if needed. Most 12VDC pedals I know of can take 18V too though.

 

[astaroth]

really? it wouldnt just blow? anyway thx for the suggestion guys!

 

[j_m_s]

the godlyke power pump can bump up the voltage too.
