Wiring a pedal board and using an ISO 5 and a PP2+

Post by firebird1999us »

So here's what I need to power:

Custom Audio Wah
Digitech Whammy V
Boss TU2
(I'm daisy chaining an MXR Loop box, a Loopmaster true bypass, a channel switch, and an A/B/Y box off of the TU2 for LED power only)
MXR Phase 90
Boss TR2
MXR Chorus
Ibanez Paul Gilbert Airplane Flanger

Xotic SP Compressor (don't have it yet - it's the blank spot next to the fatboost in the pic)
Fulltone Fatboost 3
Fulltone Fulldrive II @ 18v
Boss EQ20
(where the DD20 is placed for sizing)
TC Electronics Ditto Looper X2
Vox Delaylab


I'm trying to figure out the logistics of this and if the PP2+ and the ISO5 is enough?

This is the layout of the board... the cardboard spots represent the 3 loopmaster pedals on the way. I'm also adding large pedal props to either side so everything is off the ground and connected...

Exactly which model is the MXR Chorus you have? That is the only one here I am unsure of. Do you know if it requires 9V or 18V?
If you want to run the Fulldrive 2 at 18V then you can power it from the 18V Output on the ISO-5. But if the Chorus needs the 18V output, you can run the Fulldrive 2 at 12V using any one of outputs 1-4 with the corresponding DIP switch set away from Normal.

The DelayLab, EQ-20, and Whammy 5 are your high current pedals. Each one can be powered from outputs 5 or 6 on a Pedal Power 2+ with the DIP switches set to Normal, or from the High Current 9V output on the ISO-5.

All the rest of the pedals can be powered from any of the remaining outputs on the Pedal Power 2+ with the corresponding DIP switches set to Normal, and the three 9V Outputs on the ISO-5.

I hope that helps!

Looks like I can squeak by using the fd2 in 9v and the MXR Chorus out of the 18v tap on the ISO 5.

The pedal I am concerned about most is the AF2 Paul Gilbert Airplane Flanger. I'm trying to avoid using a courtesy outlet so I jut daisy chain the ISO5 off of the PP2+

The Full Drive 2 will accept 9-18V so you can power it a 9V from a Pedal Power 2+ from any output with the corresponding DIP switch set to Normal, of for just a taste of the "Higher Headroom Kool-Aid", you can power it at 12V using any one of outputs 1-4 with the corresponding DIP switch set away from Normal. ;)

The AF2 can be powered from any output on your Pedal Power 2+ with the corresponding DIP switch set to Normal, or any 9V Output on your ISO-5.

Good Luck!

Ok after reassessing some pedals I've swapped a few things around and come up with this scenario - all switches in the normal position:

1 ISO5 9v Ditto Looper X2
2 ISO5 9v Custom Audio MC402
3 ISO5 ***OPEN SPOT***
4 ISO5 9v hp Vox Delaylab
5 ISO5 18v MXR Chorus

1 PP2+ 9v Xotic SP Compressor
2 PP2+ 9v MXR Phase 90
3 PP2+ 9v Boss TR2
4 PP2+ 9v Airplane Flanger
5 PP2+ 9v L5 Boss EQ20 Digitech
6 PP2+ 9v L6 Whammy V
7 PP2+ 9v Custom Audio Wah
8 PP2+ 9v Boss TU2 (daisy chain)

Any issues with that?
