Anyone know Orange Bass Butler ampere draw?

[SidNitzerglobin]

Wound up snagging a nicely minty Orange Bass Butler today (as well as a similarly clean Four Stroke 500, but that's a different story ) & didn't figure out it's a funky center positive PSU connector until I got home w/ it. Seems like a 2.1mm to 2.5mm reverse polarity lead would take care of connecting it to one of my board PSUs w/ 18V taps but so far have been unable to determine what kind of amperage it requires.

Anyone managed to determine the draw of the Bass Butler &/or have successfully used in w/ a pedalboard PSU? The included wall wart is apparently 1 amp @ 18V but that seems like a fairly high requirement to me even w/ the 2 channels, optical comp & cab sims included in the box. I mostly see myself using it in a stationary setup so It wouldn't be the end of the world to have to continue using the wall wart w/ it but I'd much rather be able to plug it into a board PSU if that will work.

Spend some time in the Orange Bass Butler thread, and your questions will be answered.

Buy any piece of gear used, and the first order of business should be to look up the owner's manual, then look for an official thread of some sort on Talkbass.

Unfortunately, as you may have seen, the "owner's manual" on the Orange site does not specify the full power supply requirement.

Yeah, that's exactly what I did (looked at the included booklet & online version of the manual, took pics of the microfiche sized specs on the included wall wart so I stood a chance of reading the print when zooming in on them, & then searched for ~45 minutes via google for amperage requirements) & came up empty prior to creating this thread.

Most appreciate if some one has an answer

Edit: Search on TalkBass worked better, must have made some improvements in my absence, lol... I see one reporter saying they were running fine on 100mA so chances probably pretty good I can run it w/ the 250mA @18V taps off of one of my Ojai R30s

For posterity's sake here's a post from page 16 of the Bass Butler thread saying Orange support told them it only drew 50mA @ 18V:

The Butler does not have tubes, so like other solid-state preamp pedals, it wouldn't have a big current draw. Most of them out there are 120 mA or less. Since there was an answer from Orange, that's the way to go.

It's an intriguing pedal, to be sure. It's just a matter of selecting the right supply cable from the power supply for that connector end.

Got the aforementioned 2.1mm > 2.5mm reverse polarity cable on the way to power w/ an Ojai R30 since I didn't have any luck putting my hands on the couple I should still have somewhere from previous Voodoo Labs PSUs.

Also ordered a 2 x XLR female to TRS & a USB B mini to USB A so I can run the cab simmed outputs of the Bass Butler through my Iridium w/ amp sim disabled & a null cab IR file loaded as a stupid expensive stereo headphone amp for late night use
