Well....I'm gonna try running my Slampegg off of a 500ma Zuma......if that doesn't work, I'm gonna have to get creative somehow.
Sounds good, answering questions is something I do
Also before I forget, I got some current draw numbers, which is something I know people ask about a lot. These were taken on a 9V supply:
Single tube designs (Particle Accelerator, Slampegg Bee Pre, London Underground, Lab Rat) will pull around 650mA as it's warming up, and about 470mA steady-state when it's done warming up. You MIGHT be able to get them to run on a 500mA supply, but it's safer to go at least 600mA.
Double tube designs (Dr. Wattson, Sunnday Drive, Black Eye) will try to pull around 2000mA during warm-up. This does not mean you need a 2000mA supply, but a lower output supply will take longer to warm up. The pedal should drop down to about 770mA steady-state when it's done warming up. I would recommend at least 1000mA supply.
When in doubt just give it as much power as you can, I recommend a 1Spot which will do 1700mA. I've thought about developing a brick style supply for use with these so you don't need separate supplies for everything, but I haven't really committed to it for sure.

DC7 does 660 mA at 9V per outlet.

And it can double that power using a special flex cable.
Guess I might have to finally break down and get a dc7.
power supplies are like tuners. Not a very sexy purchase but worth it in the end.

Dr. Wattson demos are up on the page now.
It's true, these are not typical power requirements
I designed a brick a while ago for myself, but it's all 9V outputs (1500mA each) and I know with the wide selection of things out there today people have more needs than that, so eventually I'll probably make a survey to find out what kind of things people need on a brick.

Those demos sounds amazing! Glad I picked the Wattson. I need some good news today. I got a roof leak and a basement leak in the same day, so this is my little ray of sunshine.
Regarding the power supply, if you do make some, can you make the power supply have an on/off switch? I’ve never seen that done before, and with your pedals, that may be a nice feature instead of having to unplug.
Wanted to share my Sushi Box story here, I ordered a used Particle Accelerator on Reverb that once it arrived had some issues, I posted questions about it on another thread which Nathan from Sushi Box saw and graciously offered to take a look at my pedal and repair. Long story short he completely updated to the current spec and it now sounds amazing! Makes everything you plug into it sound better!
Awesome pedal and outstanding customer service!!

Sounds great! Is that the “bass version” tone stack?
I don't see why not, it's not like on/off switches are hard or take up tons of room.
Right, forgot to mention that, this is the bass version tone stack. The guitar version has a pretty low frequency response already and would still sound pretty good, but this just keeps a little more rumble.
Not to 1up you, but I thought it was kinda funny we labeled the same with the same app:
Only if I can power it!Awesome. Gonna be a good weekend for you
I know you've heard this in every other thread but... Just get a Cioks DC7 with a 4 or 8 and call it a day. You will never have to worry about power again.
is this included in the box or something special you bought separately?
