Powering 18v pedals, question.

[mowburger]

I searched a few words in different orders but didn't find an answer to a qouple questions, so if TB could help me out that would be great.

First : I have a One-Spot 9v power supply that gives me a max of 1700 mA. I run a daisy chain to power a Korg Pitchblack Tuner and a SansAmp BDDI, I sometimes have a Boss PH-3 Phaser on board too.

I am trying to power an Aguilar Tone Hammer with it's recommended 18v, It's been working with 9v but I'd like to utilize the TH's expanded headroom from 18volts. Since I don't ever have more than say 4-5 pedals on my board I want to power them all from the One Spot. Hence I ordered the Godlyke Iso Pump, this little device plugs into a lead on the daisy chain and has a switch to ramp-up the voltage to one of three volatges 12-18-24v So heres the question...

I'm looking at the EWS MBC which is a sweepable midrange frequency control for bass guitar in pedal form, you can run on 9 or 18v for more headroom, can I plug a spliter or seperate daisy chain off the Iso Pump to power the Tone Hammer AND the MBC maybe even one more pedal at 18v?
I assume it will be fine as long as I don't exceed the miliAmp rating of the One Spot (1700mA) Should I consider the miliAmps bieng doubled to the 18v pedals?

Anybody see anything wrong with this scanario?

Any advice?

Everything seems to be running fine the way it is but I would like the extra headroom since I am using the pedal board as my only Preamp, I plug it into a Crown poweramp.

The following is from the manufacturer...

Tech Tip
You can daisy chain pedals off of the Iso-Pump, provided that you do not exceed the maximum current capability of the IP-1 at the given voltage.

Current capacity:

12 volts – 480 mA
18 volts – 320 mA
24 volts – 240 mA

So for example – if you had two 18-VDC pedals each pedal had a current draw of 150 mA, you could connect these two pedals to the output of the Iso-Pump (set at 18 VDC) using our Cable-Y splitter and you would be able to power both pedals off the single IP-1.

Thanx BOOMERTECH I couldn't find that info, very helpful.




Any body know the draw of the Aguilar Tone Hammer? Couldn't find it on the website.

EDIT* I found it in the manual it says INPUT 24v 0.5A regulated DC, DAMN will this even work?

[mowburger]

Further in the manual it says current draw is 7mA.


I am confused...



Further inquiry revealed a different manual one the Aguilar website.

"Power Requirements: Two 9-volt batteries, phantom power or an external DC power
supply: 18-20V 0.3A, 2.1mm plug, center terminal polarity is negative."

SO going by this I can power the TH but nothing else.

If the TH is all analog (which I believe it is), I would expect 7mA to be much more accurate than 300mA or 500mA. I know of no solid state analog pedal that draws anywhere near 300mA; and the ones that draw high (up to 100mA) are never simple tone shaper/ dirt boxes.

Now someone with more experience/ knowledge can smack down this info .

LOL


I'm sure I'm headed in the right direction. I could always get the Gator Pedal Power cause I'm using the Gator Pedal Tote, and it mounts on the bottom with supplied screws. Just would like to spend 30 instead of 90.
