Cali76 Power Rating Question

[jdh3000]

I recently had to redo my pedalboard.

I had been running my cali76 at 9v off of a 1 Spot CS6 power supply, using the 500 MA port. I find the way I'm having to set up the new board that I may have to connect to the side that has 100 & 200 MA.

The Cali76 manual rates it at 78mA at 9v and 103 MA at 18v. I've been considering going 18v and was thinking this should be fine in a 200mA port, but then read some things suggesting that running at 200 was best for the Cali76. I read it could cause some issues.

Anytime in the past something suggested running say at whatever mA rating, I always tried using a higher mA supply just to be safe.

Is anyone running their Cali76 at 18v off a 200mA port without any issues.

Thanks!

I run mine of 330 mA at 18 volts with no problem with my CIOKS DC7. I don't have an issue with that. I know it's not the 200 mA that you're looking for, but it's closer.

A pedal only draws what it needs (current). As long as the voltage & polarity are correct, and the psu is capable of supplying the current the pedal needs, you’re good.

My experience with most electronics is they say they draw more than real world. Power supplies typically say they put out less than they really do. Ymmv.

That makes sense, it's better to err on the side of caution, that way no one can blame one or the other for being a little off and burning up a piece of equipment.

Thank you!
