All of the above info is correct, but just a few more things to add:

---The 5V power supply/outlet is not a standard Boss-style anyway
---As noted, it can be powered through the TRSS cable when connected to a pedal or the Hub
---However, you also need external power if you want to use the 1/4" expression out
 
Good info, thanks ... I won't be using the expression output as I have no pedals to control that way right now, but good to know if when I win that gold covered H9. :)

Well with the Hub you could do the expression out via MIDI I think.
 
Well, you can use the expression output on your Wonderlove right? Since I will be winning the gold H9 Max ;)

The WL has an expression input, but it won't power the HH3 receiver.

The only shortfall of the HH3 is the special power supply that is required for use with non SA pedals. They went through the trouble of evaluating multiple expression output types and provided dip-switches to make the HH3 compatible, but you have to use their unique power supply if you want to use the expression out. Please tell me a 9V Boss-style power input is on the table for the next update.

I'll not have any pedals (other than that H9 :)) to control, all the Zooms can do is program change and the DMC does that via USB.

I'd give the WL a try for sure, but I don't really like it with an expression pedal. Could be more fun with a Hot Hand though.

The challenge we had with this is making the HH3 receiver compatible with the HH charger. The HH battery was really special once upon a time, so it dictated the power supply.

For those of you who have a SAG control on your pedalboard supply (and some comfort with a soldering iron) and can make a custom cable and then dial down the 9VDC to 5VDC.

Creating a 9V to 5V DC to DC box is the other option. Unless, of course, you have any SA pedal or the Hub and you can power off of that!
