Power problem

I've just got my new toy from the US, a Rocktron Banshee, but the adapter is rated at 120v, so I can't use it.

I used my PP2+ to power it up, although the LED is lit, but I just doesn't work. It's always on bypass mode.

Now, for the specs. The output for the Banshee's adapter is 9VAC 2000mA. And I can't find the mA for my PP2+.

Help?
 
One more question... If I happen to use a 9VDC adapter to power a 9VAC pedal, what are the consequences? Will I permanently damage the pedal?
 
no worries !! just get the proper adapter ....if its 9V AC you need ....go to sim lim tower first floor shop by the main entrance !!

Be carefull with pedal power !! :wink:
 
Thanks alot goose... Really appreciate it 8)

After further searching, the PP2+ has an output current of 100mA~200mA, and the Banshee needed at least 1100mA 8O
I was lucky enough that the lack of current did not starve the internal power supply components and fried it.
I kinda figured out that the DC is just only enough to power the LED, but too little to fire up the rest of the curcuit.

Is it better to get a transformer so that I could use the original adapter (120v), or get a new 9VAC adapter?

:cry:
I thought after getting the PP2+, I would eliminate all my extra adapters/batteries... Now I have 3 extra adapters for my pedalboard :evil:
 
Well, most specialised power supplies - PP2+, Flatliner, Juicebox, etc - don't have the capacity for 1000mA of power in 1 output. :D

That talkbox is taking a LOT of juice!
 
Thanks guys, I'll go look for a 9VAC adapter later on. And pickup a Shure SM57 mic.

First time playing with a talkbox, any tips?
 
Just bought an adapter, and my talkbox is just working perfectly!

I can only form some A E I O U sounds from it for now, hopefully... Will work towards making it talk!

Woohoo! Great fun to play with, highly recommended toy :D
 
Goose: You mean the 10,000 Days album?

Shred: Yeah, I'm looking for a replacement translucent tube, just like the Dunlop Heil Talkbox. So I can see the spit inside :D
