i bought a brand new one when i was setting up my newly designed pedal pedalboard-along with a BBE Supra Charger to power all the pedal including the line 6 - well everything worked fine until the PA fired up and the line 6 pedal went absolutly goofy -i had to take it out of the chain- My Boss, MXR and Morley pedals worked fine - i took it back to GC and went with my old boss delay setup -
the guy from GC called and said the Problem was that i needed to use Line 6s power supply - anybody else have this "problem" . the BBE charger has the proper power cords and says in the booklet that it can correctly power these line 6 modulator pedals .
I really like the features of this pedal and would ultimatly love to use this in my live rig--if the dang thing would work properly
Any thoughts??

I have one and power it with the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 and have had no problems but I do believe that they are center positive instead of center negative so you would need a special cable to reverse the polarity so keep that in mind if you haven't already thought of that.

That's largely the reason I quit using the Line6 MM-4 and DL-4. Great stuff, but unreliable on the road. They're mini-computers more/less and when they get a little starved for power, or get dirty/over & under voltage/wattage, they would:
1. hang and not switch patches;
2. lose the programming - hit a patch and something unexpected would come out; or,
3. go stupid w/out even touching it - patch would garble into something strange.
All the above would require a complete 'reboot' of the pedal - pull the power plug, wait, plug in again...
I had Voodoo Labs power supplies, then used the L6 wall warts (VL's ran the rest of the board w/out issue). Got a lot better with the L6 wall warts but it would still happen when on a distro at an outdoors show or in an old venue serviced by old transformers outside/bad-weak wiring.
One gig I did on a cruise ship for 2 weeks, I had to go to batteries the entire time - just wasn't enough power to keep them up and running otherwise.
You can make it better w/the wall warts but it's still going to happen from time to time.

I had one, even had Keeley mod it. Sold it very shortly after I got it back from Keeley and got a T-Rex Replica. I'm MUCH happier now.

I use the Line6 wall wart with mine, never had a problem. It's not the best sounding delay, but does a lot and has the 3 pre sets which comes in handy.
