EBS Valvedrive power supply

Okay so I just got me a Valvedrive from the Classifieds and to save on international shipping, I asked the seller not to include the power supply. I figured I'd need to buy an Ausyralian one anyway. Only problem is my local electronics shop only has a 1amp power supply while the Valvedrive has a current draw of 500mA. Would this be safe to use? Does the pedal only draw what is needed or will the extra current damage it?

It will be fine, the pedal will only draw what it needs.

Make sure every other parameter is exact, though.
