Anyone with a DC7, are you using the 8800 current doubler cable or is the 660ma out fine by itself?

I do plan to bench-test my pedals when I get them to graph the warmup vs. draw times at these different mA settings

The 9V 660ma out is fine by itself. No issues on my end.

I had issues running the PA at 12V back when they accepted 9-12V. It wouldn't power up at all.

Awesome, thanks for that answer + the 12v note.

I've thrown up FAQ's for where to buy knobs, and the current known/recommended powersupplies.

I didn't put the CS12 on there, just because @Real Soon 's issue. Although it could just be his supply acting up, 1 out of 1 review being sketch == not a good sampling.

I purchased 6 silver knobs. Thanks for the recommendation.

Regarding the power supply issue, just get a Cioks DC7 and call it a day. I skimped on pedal power supplies for years. I always worried about power usage. Hell, I wouldn't buy certain pedals because my power supply couldn't handle them. When you purchase a Cioks DC7 you get maximum flexibility and massive power. You don't have to worry about anything except for maybe a Cioks 8800 for an LA-1A. I highly recommend purchasing a DC7, especially at 25% off at Prymaxe. That's an incredible deal!

And might as well add a C8E expansion while you're at it because you know you'll need it sooner or later... :roflmao:

I 100% agree. I have a DC7 and 8 on my board for roughly 22 pedals and that's nowhere near the capacity of either unit. I could possibly get by with just the 7 but I prefer having more power than cutting it close.

Yup, I just installed a c8e on my board too, mainly because I hate daisy-chaining. I know I'm under-utilizing draw, but I get the weirdest interactions. My EHX Freeze would buzz when shared with anything, and my NightOwl hated sharing with my PolyTune.

Easy to home-run everything, then I'm never kicking myself when I want to swap in a new pedal.

Yep. Except, make sure you don't fry a pedal plugging 18V into a 9V pedal. I did that once. Now I gaff tape the power cables with anything other than 9V.

Side question: Do you know the power usage of the Echosaurus? It's not an issue. Just wondering in case I need to group it with other pedals.

EHX Freeze is a nightmare pedal for sharing power. Did my head in!

I have an Echosaurus on my personal board, I'll go downstairs and measure it as soon as I get my kids to bed. It's not much, should be 50mA or less I think.

I'm (im)patiently waiting the arrival of the Slampegg Bee Pre. It should be killer!

How's everyone else liking their Sushi Box pedals?

By the way, this thread title is open for discussion.

Been Watching. What’s all the hub bub? Bub. Looks like I’ve got some reading to do. :bookworm:

Right now just a tube pre similar to my Bug Drive that’s a groggy throaty low driver without imparting any break up. Been looking for a valve caster to hopefully fill the role.

FYI most the pedals have multiple audio samples on their dedicated pages, fun way to hear them all :)
