Malekko Echo 600 power supply?

[blue209]

Hello everybody, I searched with no results so.... The instruction for the Echo 600 say "operate with 9v 200ma 2.1mm Neg Tip REGULATED". So my question is, what would be the best way to power it with the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 Plus? I just want to make sure that I don't damage my favorite echo. Thanks.

Is this a serious question?

You've just described an ordinary Boss-style adapter. Feel free to use any of the normal cables and any outlet on the PP2+. No special dip switch setting, no special cable, no special anything.

Although the pedal itself is special.

The reason I asked is because the adapter that came with the pedal says 9.6v 200ma and the pp2 is either 9v 100ma or 9v 250ma. I figured it wasn't a problem but I wasn't 100% sure. I didn't want to ruin a $250 pedal because I was "pretty sure" it would work. Oh, and I guess what I meant by "best way to run it" was if it could be run at a higher voltage ( 18v ) like the bassdrive or analogman chorus. I guess I should have been more specific. Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't worry about the 9V / 9.6V thing. It's an insignificant issue, as a lot of 9V adapters are marked as 9.6V.

As the Echo 600 is a fairly simple analog delay pedal, I'm 99% sure it wouldn't need anywhere near as much as 100mA. It'll work fine on any of the outputs. Regarding a higher voltage... I don't know if the pedal will support a higher voltage, as that'll depend on the overall design and component values. If it can, you'll have the benefit of some extra clean headroom. If it can't, you'd fry the pedal... so I wouldn't experiment with voltage until you are certain it can work on 18V.

I'd ask Malekko about it, since nobody would know better than the maker of the pedal.
