EHX Bass Blogger w/ Pedal Power 2+

[TomServoGD]

Has anyone with an EHX Bass Blogger tried powering it using a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+?

I've read the pedal says explicitly not to use 'daisy-chain' type power supplies, but I'm not positive if the Pedal Power qualifies as this, since the outputs are all isolated with their own dedicated 100/200mA to send to each pedal.

To add, I also E-Mailed EHX support about it, and they stated:

Hello. That is true you cannot daisy chain the Bass Blogger via power jacks. You must use an EH adaptor.

I'm not positive they understood the Pedal Power's outputs are isolated/dedicated power, and I'm just plain holding out hope my Pedal Power will work if I decide to get this cool pedal. Anyone have any experience to share here?

Voodoo Labs isn't a daisy chain so it should work

The PPII is not in any way a daisy chain, it is the same as using separate wall warts.

+1 - The Voodoo Lab will work fine. I've used pedals in the past that didn't work on a daisy chain, and 9 times out of 10, the solution can be found with these isolated-output power supplies.

The remainder are outright bizarre, with weird voltage requirements and AC (not DC) power needs...

You could also opt for other isolated-output power supplies depending on your power needs, such as the T-Rex Fuel Tank Junior and BBE Supacharger. The Voodoo Lab PP2+, however, is the most versatile one I know under $200 - nothing really compares in that price range.

Now, the Dunlop DC Brick, T-Rex Fuel Tank (regular, NOT Junior) and Gator G-BUS are power bricks that do NOT have isolated 9VDC outputs. These will NOT avoid the pitfalls of daisy-chain style power supplies.

Sounds promising, guys; thanks alot for the input.

Just to be sure, can anyone that owns the Blogger and a Pedal Power confirm that the pedal hasn't fried-out or blowed-up on them yet?

Good info I will add that to my education on power supply's

Do you use the adapter for the SEM? Have you tried running it off a typical 9v wallwart? Do you think it'd really be detrimental to use anything other than the included AC adapter or is it just a fear game to optimize profit?

Assuming here that SEM = EHX Stereo Electric Mistress, it runs just fine off of daisy chains. It's pedal number 6 on a 1Spot, and I have no issues

[Valerus]

Yeah the SEM works fine with a daisy chain.

He was just pulling our legs, guys. The last sentence was a dead giveaway.

Seriously, why would you take SpankyPants seriously? Seriously.

D'OH!!! I didn't even look to see who it was. I definitely wouldn't have fallen for it if I had taken a second and seen that it was Spanky

[SpankyPants]

And the Effect phantom spanks again!!

Hello to everyone..!
is it possible to connect a power supply(which gives in parallel other 5 pedals) straight into the battery "place"(sorry about my bad english!) of the blogger...?
...would that eliminate the problem or the unit itself?!

Nope, it won't work. As long as it's hooked into the daisy chain, you didn't avoid anything at all.
