wiring question

[jgamble]

I just got the EBS Valve drive pedal. I have the SKB 55 pedal board. According to EBS, the pedal requires 12v @1000ma. Nothing even approaches that on the SKB board power outs. I talked with both companies: EBS says I've got to use their power, SKB says to recheck with EBS. Has anyone tackled this problem before? I love how this pedal sounds, but this will be somewhat annoying if I have to figure out a way to run power just for this pedal. Thanks!

SKB's power supply is not fit for this kind of circuit. You will need another one, EBS or not.

Use the power supply that comes with the pedal. Nothing else. That's the price you pay for having certain pedals. The pedalboard has 3 isolated AC plugs, no? Plug the wallwart in one of those.

Ironically, the 55 doesn't have any AC plugs. The 45 does. I'm not sure how this made sense when they sat down and engineered this and it obviously didn't occur to me at the time that it might be a problem... Irony is a bitter pill. Perhaps a downgrade to that or an upgrade to the Furman.

That does suck. Yeah, I used to own the PS45. Either of the 2 you mentioned will have those AC plugs for the EBS wallwart. Good luck.
