| The Voodoo Lab Pedal
Power AC is a pedalboard power supply designed to operate high current AC powered pedal
effects. Finally a professional solution for powering tube overdrives, modeling pedals or
devices.
The
Voodoo Lab Pedal Power AC is for use only with devices that require AC power. The
device you're trying to power should be clearly marked as needing 9VAC or 12VAC. If it
isn't, you need to verify its power requirements. Attempting to power a DC operated device
with an AC power source can cause permanent damage!!! (Most guitar pedals use DC
current. For those kinds of devices, you may wish to look at the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2.)
Connections
The Voodoo Lab Pedal Power AC has four outputs and six output jacks. These accept barrel
type connectors and have a 2.5 mm center pin.
The two individual 9VAC outputs on the left will provide up to 600mA each.
The two pairs of jacks on the right will provide up to 1200mA each at either 9VAC or 12
VAC. Select the correct voltage by using the corresponding jack. You can't use both 9VAC and
12VAC from the same pair at the same time. It won't work. Don't even try.
Cables
Two different cable types are provided with the Pedal Power AC. The most common type has
red connectors on both ends. The other type has red and black
connectors.
Red connectors are 2.5 mm center and black are 2.1mm. Connect red
ends to the Pedal Power AC.
Most AC powered devices will also use the red 2.5mm plus; however a few use
black 2.1mm (the industry standard is to use 2.5mm for AC and 2.1mm for DC).
Since the red plug has a hole to accommodate the 2.5mm pin, it will also fit over
the smaller 2.1mm. Don't do this! It will appear to work, but since the connectors do not
mate snugly, the connections will be unreliable.
How can you tell which to use? Try the smaller black end first. If it fits, use
it. If it doesn't, use a red one.
Power Reqirements
Generally, the power requirement marked on the device matches the manufacturer's supplied
adapter. This does not indicate the actual current used, only the maximum available
from the adapter. Often the same adapter is used for many different products.
For example, the Line 6 modeling pedals are marked 1200mA. In fact, all models as of this
writing draw less than 200mA.
