Using Custom Cables

All of the outputs on the Pedal Power 2 Plus (and the original Pedal Power) are completely isolated allowing you to create different voltages. You can run effects like the current MXR Flanger by combining two 9V outputs to create a single 18V supply. By switching two outputs into 12V ACA mode, you can join them together to create a 24V output for powering numerous Electro-Harmonix stomp boxes including the Deluxe Memory Man.

Boss Pedals: There are two main types of Boss pedal effects, which specify either PSA or ACA type power supplies. Boss pedals specifying the PSA type adapter operate at 9V like most other pedals. Boss pedals which specify the ACA type adapter operate at a higher voltage. The Voodoo Lab Pedal Power is the only universal power supply available which will power any type of Boss pedal effect. There is a selector switch for each DC output on the bottom of the Pedal Power to select the correct voltage. Output numbers 1 thru 4 can be selected for "ACA" type operation. For Boss Twin pedals, use outputs 5 or 6 at the "normal" setting that offers 200mA+ @ 9VDC. An exception would be the RC20 Looper that only draws 80mA so it can use any of the outputs set to "normal".

Line6 Pedals: Use any output on the "normal" setting to power Line6 Tone Core compact pedals. Only modeling pedals DL4, MM4, AM4, DM4, and FM4 require outputs 5 or 6 using the Line6 dip switch setting. For the Line6 POD, see Pedal Power AC.

Electro Harmonix Holy Grail: In a test by Voodoo Lab, outputs 5 and 6 at the normal setting will power an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail. The EH adapter for that pedal offers 500 mA, and when they asked the folks at EH about it they told VL it draws 300 mA. But in testing one that VL got "off the shelf" at a local shop, it only drew a hair over 200 mA and powered up from output 5 of the PP2+ with no problems.

Moogerfooger:  Most will operate with a reversed polarity cable using the Pedal Power 2.  The MuRF (MF-105, 105B) may not be compatible however we've known clients use those just fine.  Keep in mind  you may use the AC outlet on the rear of the Pedal Power 2.

Toroidal Transformer
Power transformers create an electric field that can cause hum and noise in your effects. Some effects, such as wahs, are particularly susceptible to this. A toroidal transformer has a specially designed core that greatly reduces this electric field. The Pedal Power uses this type of power transformer so that your pedal board is quiet.

Short Circuit Protection
Each output on the Pedal Power 2 Plus is short-circuit protected. This means that if you have a short in a power cable, or one of your pedals malfunctions, PP 2 Plus will temporarily turn off the power to that pedal. All other outputs will continue to function normally with no long-term damage.

International Orders:  The power supply on this page is a 120V (50-60Hz) North American version and it's manufactured to operate from that specific main supply voltage. There are three different models, which accept 100V, 120V, or 240V mains. All units sold in North America are for 120V only. You cannot operate a 120V Pedal Power using 240V power without the correct step down transformer. The supply voltage is marked on the bottom of the unit.  If you need a 100V or a 240V version, check for an international dealer in your region here.  If there is not a dealer in your region, contact us and we may be able to arrange a special order.

 

 

AMAZING TONE STARTS HERE!

"I've wrestled with various store-bought and custom-made power supplies over the years, but this was the first time I was able to connect everything in minutes and get great results without hum or profanity" -Guitar Player Magazine

Filter, regulate, isolate, and protect!
Pedal Power 2 Plus does it, and does it well, because anything less will degrade your pedal’s performance. Players everywhere upgrade to Pedal Power 2 Plus because it powers what conventional power supplies can’t. Pedal Power 2 Plus is hand made in the U.S.A., comes complete with cables, detachable AC power cord, a 5-year warranty, and simply makes you sound better!

POWERING PEDALS IS EASY.
MAKING THEM SOUND GREAT ISN’T.

Isolation is more than fixing ground loops
Ground loops cause hum and the solution is to break the unwanted ground path. Isolation is the best way to do it. Unlike other power supplies, Pedal Power 2 Plus isolates EVERY output. This eliminates tone robbing interaction between units. Now you can properly power everything from vintage overdrives to modern digital marvels that others just can’t!

Proprietary balanced transformer makes it possible
A typical transformer, like those used in a wall wart, creates a large magnetic field that causes hum in any audio path near it. Pedal Power 2 Plus uses a custom designed ultra-low noise toroidal transformer with separate balanced windings for every output. Now even the most sensitive pedals can be dead quiet.

Switching power supplies are not for everything
What’s good for charging a cell phone is NOT good for your pedals. While digital switching power supplies are small and inexpensive, they also generate unpredictable transients and extraneous noise. Pedal Power 2 Plus uses an audiophile quality linear supply for consistently stable, clean and pure power.

DC Power Cables
We carry a vast selection of both stock and custom power cables to support the Pedal Power series. Stock cables included with the PP2+ are pictured below.  A few samples of the many custom cables are pictured to the left. For more, please see Custom and Stock Cables for the Pedal Power 2. These include custom lengths, plug types, polarities, extensions, right angles, ground lifted Y-cables, double voltage cables and longer IEC detachable AC power cords. We can also make extra long or specialty cables for certain applications.

Outputs

5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel connectors - center negative - Short circuit protected

9/12V (x4) – Standard 9V and 12V Boss ACA
With each one of these four outputs delivering 100mA, you can easily power any 9V battery-operated pedals. Boss pedals that specify the PSA adapter operate at 9V like most other pedals. Boss pedals that require the ACA adapter operate at 12V which can be selected via switches underneath the Pedal Power 2 Plus. Any one of these outputs can be individually selected to run at 9V or 12V.

9V (x2) – High Current 9V and Line 6 Modelers
These two outputs each deliver 250mA allowing you run high current draw effects like the Boss DD-20 Giga Delay or Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler. Via switches underneath the Pedal Power 2 Plus, these two outputs can be separately configured for regulated (Boss Twin Pedals) or unregulated (Line 6 Modelers) power allowing you to run both units if so desired. These outputs can also power any standard 9V effects as well.

9V (x2) – Standard 9V With Battery Sag Control
These outputs each have 100mA of power available and also allow you to SAG the voltage from roughly 4V to 9V. This feature can be enabled via the bottom panel switches. The SAG control is mostly useful for transistor-based fuzz, octavia, and distortion circuits, as most modern opamp designs are minimally affected by variations in supply voltage. We recommend turning SAG off if you’re going to run digital pedals like delay, chorus, and reverb.
