Effects: actual Power usage

I've been looking into getting a Pedal Juice so I needed to know how much power my gear actually used.

I did some testing ... here are the results.

Boss GT10b : 450 mA idle ( no effect on ) 500 mA ( effects on ) ... never got it to pull more than 500 mA no matter what I had turned on or how many things at once.

EHX Freeze: 150 mA
Boss RC-2: 120 mA
Boss LS-2: 60 mA

Add your pedal if you "know" what mA they actually pull ( not factory published numbers necessarily )

Funny, I was thinking of doing this a couple of hours ago. I can contribute an MXR M80+, and a Red Llama clone.
That´ll have to wait ´til tomorrow, and I don´t promise anything. I will give it a try, though.

I'm finding that the "stated" number from some of the companies are not accurate.
According to the Boss website the RC-2 pulls 50mA ... but according to my test with 2 separate meters it draws nearly 3 times that .... at least the one I have does.

I hope people will do there own test & post the numbers here.
