Powering My Pedal Board

Post by JonBJohn »

Hello friends!

I just purchased two VooDoo Lab PP2+ Power Supplies to power my PT PRO... but I'm unsure of which power setting to use for each pedal. Most of the manufacturers state in their instruction pamphlets that their pedals should only be used with the power supplies that come with their products. Is that the case? Where does that leave me? Lol - My biggest fear is damaging any of my pedals.

Firstly, can these pedals be powered by the PP2+? If so, which PP2+ setting should be used for each pedal? Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks!

All of the switches on the back of the PP2+ units should be set towards normal, and you'll use all black cables, no reds. You'll need to purchase a voltage doubler:

Top or bottom cable - bottom one is just an extender. Middle red one is unsuitable.
