MB compressore on a fuel tank?

Sign in to disble this ad
Can anyone confirm for me whether the Markbass compressore will run fine off of a fuel tank powering several other boss pedals as well?

I'm no electronics buff - the fuel tank does have a 12v output but the transformer for the pedal says that it is 1,5mA or something and I'm not sure if the fuel tank will power it sufficiently without creating noise? the fuel tank seems to only run 1.5mA across the whole load will that be enough with other pedals attached as well?

would very much appreciate the opinion of someone who knows about these things.

I don't have an answer for you, but I think you'd get a tone more feedback in the effects forum, instead of amps.

It should work. The minimum the Compressore needs is 500 mA, and the Fuel Tank says it has "one 12-volt DC output with isolated ground, giving 500 mA".

Thanx Bongo was just concerned as my brother was told not to use the Fuel Tank with his Line6 guitar pedals for this reason.

Kind regards
Bovril :-)
