Questions about voodoo lab ISO 5

From the ISO 5 user manual.

Model and input power are marked on the bottom of unit. ​

Look at your unit and buy a converter that exceed the requirements of the ISO 5. I suggest 2:1.

Unfortunately the markings on the unit may only indicate the voltage.

If the markings on the unit do not clear up your question. Send Voodoo Lab a message. In my experience they tend to be fairly responsive.

 

My 2017 ISO 5 doesn't state watts on the unit. I'd be surprised if it was more than 50 but definitely shoot them an email.

 

Watts = volts x amps. I don’t think 50 W will be an adequate range.

The lack of a ground wire is a problem, it could be a safety risk.

 

IMHO if you are looking to buy a step down transformer, put the money towards a new pedal power supply.

If you already own the 50W step down trasnformer. Keep pinging Voodoo Lab.

 

I believe the output current and voltage calculates to 10.2W. I would expect the input requirements to be higher, but no idea how much.

I agree the lack of a ground is somewhat of a concern. The case of the power supply is the primary hazard. The outputs should be isolated (floating), providing everything is working OK. However, the ground is in case things are not working properly.

 

You’re right, I was sleepy when I posted and I didn’t do the math correctly in my head. 50 is plenty.
