Pedalboard Tone Tip: Amperage and Power Supplies

Quick ToneTip: If you're out of outputs on your power supply you can chain a couple analog pedals (drives, wahs etc.) off of one and still be under the amperage limits. Just try a few combinations to see what you can chain guilty without any added noise. Just be sure to keep pedals with processors, time based chips and high amperage requirements isolated.

Hello bro nice to hear some of your interested blog . I have question i have power LT XL and it can power my TC Helicon Acoustic this pedal is 12v but the Power LTXlL is for 9v supprisingly it works with can be have ap problem or broke my TC Helicon Acoustic play with this setup pls help me thank you

Hi, i have a question about rechargable power supplies. If many pedals only draw so little current, why not just use a standard LI-IO Powerbank together witha 5V to 9V converter cable and daisy chain everyething? A 20000mAh powerbank only costs 35€ and could power 5 - 6 analog pedals forever, right?

LL KK I would be careful with using just any power bank. Even though you can convert the voltage, not all power supplies are created equal and without proper AC switching or filtering you can get a lot of noise transferred through the ground of the daisy chain. So although technically yes you could, I would make sure the power is designed for audio use and has propper filtering. Also make sure it's negative center.
