Those of you with a Voodoo Power Pedal Plus 2 may find this interesting.
I had an issue where I wanted to know if I could power a T-Rex Replica (12v) with
a PP2. The PP2 manual was confusing to me, because it doesn't specify how many volts
is given when the dip switches are turned from normal (9v) to 'on'.
I emailed T-Rex and they didn't know, although they told me the Replica can go up to 14 volts/and at least 300 mA, but may distort.
So I emailed Voodoo Labs and got this reply...
You can plug the power adapter from your T-rex Replica directly into the courtesy AC outlet on the back of the Pedal Power 2+. It cannot be powered through the DC outlets because the pedal requires too much current.
You could also consider our Pedal Power AC, which is a good choice if you have other 9 or 12 VAC pedals. Check out our webpage for more information: www.voodoolab.com/pedalpower_ac.htm
Here are the breakdowns for supplied power in the outputs of the Pedal Power 2 Plus:
When the DIP switches are in off/normal position:
The ACA (1 - 4) and SAG (7 & 8) outputs supply 9VDC @ 100mA.
The L6 (5 & 6) outputs supply 9VDC @ 200mA
When the DIP switches are turned on/away from normal:
The ACA (1 - 4) outputs supply 12.3V @ 100mA.
The L6 (5 & 6) outputs supply 9V unregulated @ 200mA and are meant to power ONLY Line6 Digital modeling pedals.
The SAG (7 & 8) outputs - enables the SAG control, you can turn it down to 4.5V @ 100mA.
I tried powering the T-Rex into an ACA port with the switch 'on' and I got a noticeable hum (not good), so I just ended up using the 12 volt adapter and it sounds great. Should have just done that to start with, but nevertheless, it was interesting what I found out.
