Checking the Owners Manual .PDF,...it is 15v 400mA. As far as I can tell the best bet is to use the stock wall wart and plug into the courtesy outlet on the PP2+

I'm not seeing any adapters on voodoo labs website that will work for the Bassbone.

I have the BassBone. It wants to see 15v 400ma power. Anything less is just asking for trouble. The Pedalpower won't do that. I used a 'Juicebox' power supply for awhile but the Juicebox had major issues, was basically a lemon.

Recently acquired a Cioks power supply - the DC10 - it's built like a tank and does a great job of powering the Radial and my other pedals as well. Very versatile and comes with a generous supply of cables. It weren't cheap - $200 - but it's been a good investment, very stable.

Cioks - POWER SUPPLIES FOR EFFECT PEDALS

You could also try emailing Radial, they might have some other recommendations (I did and that's how I found out about the Cioks).

Good luck!

Yeah I'm way more attached to the pedalpower 2 than I am to the bassbone
I'll work out a temporary solution until I get my sadowsky preamp

When I broke open my Bassbone, it has a voltage regulator on the input. You could run it with 18V, which would reduce the current requirement a bit if that helps. However, I am not an EE.

I just recently got my RMI Basswitch IQ DI.
It smokes the Bassbone I had for a long time in all respects

It is available at Luthier's Acces Group in the US : Luthier's Access Group : Home


.... and it can be powered with almost any voltage from 9-20 Volts
