PP2+ question. Assistance required.

Yes....
I did search. Nothing in particular about my first question.

Can the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power2+ power the Zoom B2.1u?
I can't seem to find the mA draw for the Zoom pedal.

I would assume it can, but under which output? Does it have to be one of the two larger power output ports? (5-6) Since it's an all digital processor I guess it would need more power.

I'm planning on buying one pretty soon. I know that my Line 6 FM4 has to be plugged in to one of these.

Also, can I use one of those Godlyke daisy change connectors to hook up to one of the outputs 1-4 to power 4 regular pedals? One is a Boss, one is a Dr. Scientist and two are Devi Evers.

9v DC, 300mA (just did a search for the manual, found it in 10 seconds ) Outputs 5 and 6 on the PP2+ put out 250mA, so they're very close. Most manufactures list an mA draw higher than it actually draws to be safe, so the PP2+ would likely power it without issue. You may want to email Zoom about the actual currency draw just in case.

Thanks. I did see that the mA draw was 300, but as you said, it's usually way lower. I guess I omitted an equally important question.

Would anyone happen to know if I could possibly plug it into one of the outputs 1-4? Or what the actually current draw is on the B2.1u.

If you use a daisy chain cable (like a Godlyke or a 0ne Spot) then you can use more than one of the outputs to add current availability. I have my outputs 4, 7, and 8 on my PP2+ attached to a Visual Sound daisy chain and then connected to a G2.1u and it works perfectly. You could use 4 and 5 (as long as all the DIP switches are set to off) to create an available 350 mA for the pedal. Or mix and match however you like.

This only works because the outputs are isolated. This wouldn't work with a DC Brick (I'm pretty sure that the outputs on a Brick aren't isolated).
