Radial PZ Comparison PZ-Pre or PZ Deluxe | Which is best for you?

[@thebluesman99]

Just a little correction, the boost switch can be use for boost or fx loop or BOTH boost and fx loop assigned

I have the following information received directly from Radial Engineering on June 1, 2023. "The PZ-Deluxe can accept any power input ranging from 15-18V, and only requires a minimum current value of 120mA being fed on a center-pin positive polarity. So when it comes to the Strymon power supplies that provide 18V outlets (namely the Ojai R30, Zuma, and Zuma R300), their 18V outlets all provide 250ma each and is more than enough to power the PZ-Deluxe. Overall, any of these three power supplies should work great, and should only require you to use a simply polarity reverse adapter cable with the 18V outlet in order to power the PZ-Deluxe successfully."

Helpful info thanks for posting it

Radial actually told me it will run just fine with an 18-volt power brick. What you need to be careful of is that unlike most effect pedals, this unit is tip positive. What I can not understand is why Radial did not make the unit so it can be powered by Phantom.

Hi. Quick question if using Deluxe how can I control feedback w/o notch dial?

[@deanwolfechannel]

Good sweep mids control, eq knobs easy to adjust and tune out feedback freq

You certainly can have the boost and loop engaged at the same time

[@deanwolfechannel]

Yes you can, true, but you cant control them independently if both are engaged. Not so practical, and for me it meant I had to choose one or the other as I didnt want the boost on when i engaged another pedal in the loop. Thanks for clarifying.
