Just to correct myself in this video - the RED cable is for reverse polarity and NOT higher voltage! My bad :)

Karim Ayadi What Mooer pedal is it? The larger HB power plant is not fully isolated (just filtered, the HB power plant junior has superior isolation). You can get individual magnetic isolation adaptors from Diego, but they do limit the ampage supplied, which may not be enough for a power hungry digital Mooer! Hope this helped!

I own a modded vintage Roger Mayer Classic Fuzz which had an indicator LED and AC input added to it. So far I use a daisy chain from a One Spot power supply for all my other pedals, which actually works well, and a separate (cheaper) one with a polarity reverse adapter for the fuzz. The fuzz is pretty noisy and I don't know if it's the vintage pedal itself, the added AC input jack or the cheap power supply. But with a power block like these, can I use a regular output and just keep using the adapter? because it didn't work in my daisy chain, it reverse the whole chain... Thanks and love your videos and the music, keep it coming! \m/

Not really it's important to empathise the use of good quality and more importantly safe power supplies. A quick Google search will show you the reality of cheep and dangerous power supplies.

I have 2 pedalboards daisy chained and have no hiss. The cables, the way the guitar is setup, the current from the wall. So many factors.

Dude congrats on jamming with Gilbert! It was the most amazing thing to see and witness how far you've come as a player and that performance cemented the fact that you are an absolute force in the guitar world. I have never seen someone jam that well with him in my life and you are easily becoming one of the most talented players in the universe. Much respect bro!!! \m/

if 500mAh is enuff for you try Harley Benton Junior power supply. it's isolated and cheap.

Would this work in conjunction of an Irig stomp I/O. I'm having issues of a constant buzzing through my Roland micro cube gx. The guitar I'm using is a Slash AFD Epiphone special. The ipad is run off the pedal as I'm using amplitube os but I've had issues for 2 years. I'm just a hobby guitarist so I'm not all amazing at these tech issues. Can anyone help me figure out this issue.

Any suggestions how to deal with noisy pedals like the bb preamp? It´s qiite loud as you increase the volume. Is there an alternative to a noise gate with loop like the tc sentry ?

The Gigrig also does a rather cool modular system I can recommend. Not cheap, but very clever with minimal board space required

Is this a problem with tube amps because I run a solid state and like five or six pedals in a daisy chain and I don't have this problem

i use a boss distortion and a jubliee silver overdrive pedal, which one would work best for me?

So is it ok to daisy chain FROM a power supply, assuming there's sufficient current per outlet? No single power supply offers enough 9v outlets for my pedalboard.

My pedals hum using a 9v output with multiple daisy chains. I don't use any floorboards but I want to use a compressor and distortion together without hum, and add a pitch shifter with half a dozen other pedals on at the same time. what must I do as far as powering them correctly? A Voodoo AC seems best but how many daisy chains can you use with it? I have 10 pedals and want 20.

Hi Bea, how does the Pedal Power AC power the Line 6 Helix? I have a Helix and it uses an AC power cord

I have a hd500x and also 3 dc regular pedals, do I have to buy the pedal power AC for the Line 6 and the ISO 5 for the others or can I use Just ISO 5 for both?

What if I’m using Stryman and boss and line6? Would I need to have different power blocks on one board? Isn’t there some universal power block which can accommodate most of the pedals? Also if power block has just four 9v outputs, does it mean I can only connect 4 pedals? Thanks

Question: I have a Boss ME80. Boss sells a specific power adapter to power it for about $20. Which is what I am using. Is there any reason to consider other power supplies such as these? Note: I only use the ME 80 direct to amp and guitar.

Can I plug in a 9V pedal to the 18V input? or the 12V 400ma input?

Thank you for posting this. I am new to all this, although I've been playing off and on, on my own for 20 years. I'm slowly adding in some pedals for a sweeter tone and am also shopping amps since my deluxe reverb finally croaked. Looking at putting a board together and adding a wah as well to fool around with.

Hi all, I just stumbled in this video and found it super-useful, but I cannot find a solution that lets me power my EHX DMM and mistress, an 18v pedal and other regular 9v, any suggestion?

whats the difference between this one and the VooDoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus thats says 12 volt and 250mA instead of ACA and L6

What about your incoming AC power going through a small UPS first. ? dunno what that'll do i might try though

On the Pedal Power 2 Plus, with the sagged outputs, would they work the same way as the rest of the outputs if you didn't want to use the sag feature? I'm thinking of upgrading to one of these from a 5 way daisy chain, and this one having 8 outputs would be good for me to eventually get and power more pedals

I bought a voodoo labs pedal power plus in the US but I forgot about the voltage difference from US to EU, currently im using a transformer for that purpose (without ground) is there a way to get as close to zero noise with this rig or buying a few things

I use 2 of the power2 plus. LOVE them. really reduced my noise levels from my chain. Excellent explanation of the differences! Might want to change one, thanks to this vid

I bought a daisy chain to power my 2 pedals literally the only thing that happened was the lights came on.I had whistling out of my distortion pedal with no response from my amp when I use the guitar. My noise gate just straight up didn’t work and stopped my amp from making any noise at all.What do I do

Wondering why pedals will have mA marked on the pedal such as 9v 300mA when the pedal only draws 100mA? Is that max load or something? Or the recommended power supply to be used?

Great overview of their bricks. I have two of the PP2+ and couldn't be happier. I did have to buy a couple voltage doubler cables for my Boss DD-500 and MXR 10-Band EQ and one current doubler cable for my G2. I still have an open port. Cheers

I got a voodoo power supply but I will be returning it. It didn't reduce the hum at all.. There is an initial hum from the humbuckers on my guitar and the compressor and distortion blow it to a crazy level. Not sure what I can do to fix it..

5:00 by this I'm just more confused. How do you know which type of outlet you need for a pedal?

Whats the difference between the coloured plugs and the black plug , internal core diameter ?

Thank you Rebea , can you suggest any solutions for the amp to make is less noisy and do you know of any UK alternative to this product @t ? Please let me know.

Guys, please advise! What if i had to "Daisy Chain" a "Seymour Duncan - Palladium" pedal which runs on (9v-18v, 180mA), with 2 other pedals running on (9v, 100mA), on a "Pedaltrain - Volto 2". Would the "Palladium" still work perfectly fine, or would "Daisy Chaining" as mentioned above, causes serious issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you : )

can you power a pedal with a center positive with the mondo?

How about Boss with ACA, which pedal power that i should buy? Thanks

Which power supply should I use to power a Line 6 MM4, Digitech Whammy, Dunlop Wah, and Boss pedals?

Do these power supply's always have to be plugged in? How long can it go without being powered if at all?

nice video, I have a question, which one of these I can power up a line 6 dl4 and 10 more pedals??

I have a pedalboard with 12 9v pedals on there. All powered by a 1spot and daisy chained to all the pedals. It does do the job but with all the daisy chains underneath it can get a bit noisy. Im looking for a proper power supply but most even the voodoo labs supplies have either not enough 9v slots or different voltage ones that Im not gonna use. Anyone recommend a power supply that can do the job.

What is the red cord for,How come the red one didn’t work for the Mobius but the black one worked fine?

Does anyone know Where can i get the pumpkin pi fuzz ? Anda how match it cost?...

So if I use a Digitech whammy a couple stompboxes some boss pedals and a big muff I need to spend a grand on power?

I have recently gotten into guitar pedals but have only a few as in 3 right now. I do not intend to use anymore I merely have an overdrive compressor and clean boost. I live in an apartment with dirty power so I bought a Furman power conditioner and it helps but I'd imagine with pedals the noise will be worse. Which of these products might help with all of this? I am on a budget but I also dont have enough pedals to justify making a pedal board. In short could I just plug one of these into my power conditioner and then does it come with the patch cables to connect your pedals right out of the box?

I thought you would have mentioned daisy chains when using an isolated power supply or which outputs to use for pedals that have higher mA needs. -or if it’s ok to daisy chain wnen you have the mA to spare. These are things I wonder about this topic. Is it never ok to daisy chain?

I have an EQD Bellows running off a non-daisy-chained isolated CIOKS power supply and it buzzes really loudly - what's going on there?

Hi, Is it ok to use one proper power board and to it add, connect a power brick that will power up three guitar pedals in total? I'm using Katana 50 amp and plan to get something like Boss noise suppressor, Revv G3, and a Korg tuner. Thanks 😁

Hey Bea, what was your first ever pedal?

damn, i just clicked onto a pedal power ad

Why I can't use Voodoo Lab Mondo on my Digitech Whammy 5 ? It requires 265 amp 9V, right ?

Hi - Help ! I’m using 5 pedals for Bass : Chromatic Tuner by Boss , and 4 Ampeg pedals ( Compressor , Preamp , Overdrive , Chorus ). Which power supply would you recommend?? And I’m assuming the Daisy chain will plug right into the 9 volt circuit ???

Is it safe to power a Strymon Sunset through a 9V output on the Mondo?

What was the daisy chain you used in this video? +Rabea Massaad

Crazy question.. Which one is good for boss rc-300

I use my boss noise suppressor, powered by boss adapter, to power three others. Is that bad?

On my pedal board I just have a Distortion, Wah, Phase Shifter, and a Boss rc-30 loop station but the moment I plug the loop station into my rig I get an insane amount of noise and I don't know why???

I have an older “PEDALPOWER2”, and I still don’t know how to use it properly. On the front are 8, “9volt regulated DC outputs; 4 are ACA, 2 are L6, and two are SAG(with small level knobs). On the bottom of the box are 8 little, “NORMAL” switches. Q. Can I run a Digitech WHAMMY (9VAC ~50/60 Hz, 1.3 power) off of this box? Also, what is L6?, and what are the underside switches for? Any helpful clues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Rabea I was looking for a video on this subject and of course you had one.

what about a Furman rack mount power? does the same dosen't it?

hey bea great video, how to you deal with so many pedals, multiple power supplies or one that has lots of various outlets for various miliamps dc/ac or voltages?

Can you use these power supplies for blues rock?

Hey Rabea! Question: daisy chaining out of a plug on one of the VooDoo Labs power supplies? I want like one or two more pedals on my board and I'm already up to eight. Could chaining a tuner and OD for example be possible without sound quality decay?

What do you think about Power ALL and ONE Spot power supplies?

Thanks Rabea for sharing your knowledge! I want to start a pedalboard for my Marshall DSL5 but don't know where to start and these are very great advices! Thank you . You are an awesome guitar player.

Do they make linear power supplies rather than the switching type? One would imagine the former being quieter than the latter.

I have a Boss ME50 (multi effects) , and MXR 90 ,a DOD D.D. & Tremonti Wah All use the typical 9v Power supply like the one you mentioned at 8:43 ...... All 4 are plugged into a 12.00 Walmart Multi Power strip. Depending on where we play I will get Hiss noise. Is the power strip that all 4 of my Adaptors are plugged into a bad idea? Maybe I should get a better Power strip. Just havent bothered because it seems to work fine,minus the occasional hissy loudness when were not playing.

Great video! I've had the Pedal Power 2 Plus for 3 years now, and it was a game changer. Combine that with a Radial Bigshot ABY, and your board will be almost totally hum free.

Looking at building a small pedalboard, probably no more than 5 pedals and as a result I've had my eye on the T. rex fuel tank jr. The most similar one here seems to be the one with the 400mah 9/12 volt and 18 volt ports. Obviously these are designed for use with larger pedals, but would there be any issues/dangers of using those ports with regular boss sized pedals? Otherwise I'll probably stick to the T. rex jr as I saw the voodoo labs one only had 3 regular 9volt ports.

7:25 So what's the difference between those two cables? The tip & barrel are swapped around? The Boss "standard" (and many other pedals) is barrel positive, while everywhere else (in the electronics world), it's barrel negative.

I've been using four cheapo (but actually very good)power supplies on my pedalboard for a while now, one of which daisychains 5 pedals. I've found that although there is a little noise, it's not a major problem. In fact, the pedals themselves make more noise even when on their own power supply, and the daisy chain has actually worked better than a power supply on its own.

The little Diago 9v supplies are great. They have a filter so I've had no issues with daisy chaining off that. Also a noise gate helps!

So, the AC power supply work for older DOD fx series says on bottom for ac operation use 10 volt dc negative power supply.

hi! thank you for the video, lot of useful info. do you know any power supply that has isolated outputs like these but that are rechargable? would you adice to use them? thank you!

The 9v daisy chain method works for me and I run a tuner, wah, overdrive, distortion, eq, 2 delays, tremolo, and ditto looper. It doesn't get noisy, it's actually really quiet.

Rabea Massaad, how do you know which power-output to use? I currently use a Carl Martin ProPower V2, which has 8 outputs, 6 of which provide 150mA and the last two running 350mA. Which outputs would be ideal to use for stuff like TC's TonePrint series and MXR-pedals? I noticed in the video, that when you plugged the Dracarys into one of the higher-output outputs, it became noisier, so I'm just wondering if there's some kind of rule of thumb for what outputs to plug different pedals into?

Hey Rabea, im looking forward to get a power supply, I did some research about cioks dc10, truetone cs12 and decibel 11. Which do you think is better.?

So what about an MXR DC Brick? Are those good? I'm considering buying one for my pedalboard.

Great informative video. Is there anything you can recommend for powering a 16v blackstar ht dist x along with another 6 9v pedals?

Silly question - I bought 2 v labs cables that have a barrel end and a 9v battery socket on the other end.

Thanks for this Rabea it's really helped as I'm struggling with this. Just bought a Donner ISO 8 but it doesn't serve up 22V for a Blackstar HT DistX. So now that's the only pedal on my board that's noisy and I think it's because I am using the stock power supply that came with it. Any suggestions for 22V AC?

I don’t get anything like that daisy chaining in bypass…completely clean. Issue is when some are engaged and not playing, the noise floor is loud! On my amp I have an attenuator built in. If I dial by -9db and turn up it seems to suppress it. Even running things like an Angry Charlie into a Furman on its own 18v I get huge ground noise when on . For these issues…I wonder if I should be looking at a gate pedal Vs say a ISO power supply.

Nice video, thanks Bro. Which gear should i use to plug my GT-1 , an HM-2 , a boss tuner and a delay plus a Blackstar HT DRIVE?

I'm running about 11 9v pedals one Wah which I don't know the voltage of yet because it's still on it's way to me and one 12v I think on it's way aswell does anyone have any suggestion for a power supply that can power all of these

@michaelangeloh.5383

7 жыл бұрын

OK, I'll try to help: What you have to do is not only look at the Voltages (though, if the wah you've ordered is a pretty common/regular one, it will likely simply need 9 Volts), but also at the current-draw, so the milliAmps it draws. It usually says on the pedal, either by the power-connector or on a label on the bottom. If not, there is usually a manual or spec-sheet. Anyway, you have to see what each connector on a power-supply can deliver in mA's, which is usually significant. The reason being that if you want to "stack" (or "daisychain") multiple pedals from a single output on the supply, you shouldn't exceed the current the one output can deliver, but that doesn't happen very easily. Depending on how much the pedals draw, you can usually connect 4-5 pedals to one output. Of course, if they're much more power-hungry then you might only be able to use 2-3 of them. Considering you'd likely have twelve 9V pedals, and one 12V pedal, you'll need a power supply that has at least one 12V-output, which counts out a few. From the Voodoo Labs ones, you can go with pretty much any of them, except the "AC"-version (which is for AC-current, obviously), and the "Digital" version is kind of senseless for your selection of pedals. The rest, even the "simplest" ISO5 could probably do the job, with the 9V-pedals all stuffed onto the first 3-4 outputs (again, depends on how much they draw), and then the one 12V on the 12V-output. Otherwise you could also go with the T-Rex Classic, which has EIGHT 9V outputs (though, possibly not isolated), and one 12V DC and one 12 AC in addition. - Or the T-Rex Chameleon, which has fewer outputs, with 5 that can even be switched between 9V and 12V, and one extra/optional output that is AC-current. But, these I believe ARE isolated from each other. - Also, the T-Rex ones are more affordable, though purely in pricing. Overall, it's as simple as adding up; Add up the current-draw, then see how many outputs you need (or want), and choose the appropriate one. Also mind the power-cables you might need, and mind the polarity of the pedals (power supplies and most pedals USUALLY have the center as the negative). - Hope this helps some people.

Rabea, due to the limited number of outputs from these isolated power supplies, most of us still end up daisy chaining several pedals together. Even with your Mondo, don't you have to share some power outputs from it? I try to give the gain pedals their own power source and only daisy chain non-gain pedals (time, modulation, etc. pedals). Feedback, please. Thanks!
