Rusty Box power supply

[chetorch]

i have renewed interest into buying a Rusty Box, but I have some questions about its power needs.

I'm wondering if anybody on here uses the Rusty Box with only its supplied power supply or if there's have successfully used it with another power supply like something from voodoo labs. I know that the power adapter that comes with it supplies 30v, wondering if maybe using a voltage doubler with an ISO-5, 18v and 12v output, could be used with it.

It operates, as per the manual, from 24v to 40v. Yes, with a voltage doubling cable, it can be powered with a unit like a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power II, et cetera.

ok cool. I haven't found a definite answer about this, though I have heard that using different voltages coupled together could cause problems.

for example, using the 12v and 18v outputs on this:



this would produce 30v for the Rusty Box but would the difference in volts be "harmful"?

thank you for the reply

you should ask Tronographic directly if you want to be sure, I'm sure they'll answer

[chetorch]

Yeah, I know they'll answer, I just don't wanna bug them with more emails since I've asked just about everything about the RB and they've always answered

i figured I ask on here since there are effect gurus that lurk around....

I believe i've gotten inspiration to try and use a power stip combo by another user on here, so I'll try that first. thanks for the help!

I contacted them last year and the current draw is 40ma. I used the first two pp+ spots on 12v each.
