Introduction Pedal Power Digital is an all-analog power supply designed for high-current, digital pedal effects like those from Eventide, Line 6, Strymon and TC Electronic. With four independent, filtered and regulated 400mA output sections, Pedal Power Digital can properly power modern DSP-based effects and all 9V battery operated pedals. Nearly all DSP-based effects made today are supplied with digital switching power adapters, which produce significant high frequency noise.
Unpacking Your Voodoo Lab Pedal Power Digital box should contain the following: Pedal Power Digital unit Warranty card AC line cord DC Power cables: 5.5x2.1mm right angle black barrel (4) 5.5x2.5mm right angle red barrel (4) Connections Pedal Power Digital is powered directly from AC mains using the supplied detachable line cord. This is a standard computer-type IEC line cord, so it’s easy to obtain a replacement or different length.
1, 2) 9V and 12V high-current output pairs. Each pair is an isolated output section providing up to 400mA. Note: The 9V and 12V outputs within a pair are not isolated from each other (their negative terminals are common). It is preferred to use only one from each pair. If using both, combined output should not exceed 400mA. Important: Do NOT operate two high-current digital effects from the same isolated section by using both 9V and 12V jacks of the pair. 3, 4) 9V high-current outputs.
Strymon All Strymon pedals (including the larger format Timeline) can be powered from any of the 9V outputs using a standard black 5.5x2.1mm barrel cable. Important: Strymon pedals should only be powered from the 9V outputs. Attempting to power from a 12V output may permanently damage the pedal. Don’t do it, we warned you! TC Electronic TC Electronic’s Nova pedals such as the Delay, Modulator and Reverb can be powered from either the 9V or 12V outputs using a standard black 5.5x2.1mm barrel cable.
using both 9V and 12V jacks of the pair. This WILL exceed the 400mA current rating. Additional Cables The DC power cables supplied with your Pedal Power Digital are suitable for most common pedal effects. If you need additional cables, different lengths, reversed polarity, or a special connector, these are available from Voodoo Lab at our online store. Also available are adapter cables: Split Output Adapter: Provides two output jacks from a single Pedal Power Digital output.
About Isolation Pedal Power Digital has four isolated output sections. This is sometimes referred to as “galvanic isolation” and means that there is no direct electrical connection between each output. Similarly, when you power your effects with batteries, they are also isolated because there is no electrical connection between the batteries. Most power supplies are not isolated. Their output jacks are simply bussed together or use a daisy chain cable.
