Been searching around and didn't find info bout connecting the octa-swich II to the 4x4.
I have PP+2 (which works really good!) but since I'd want to use 8 pedals to the octa-switch I need 2 more outputs, one to my Tuner and one for the Octa-switch.
So I figure I'd go for the 4x4 since it's got all the outputs I need (all my pedals are basically 9V's).
Does it go with one of the Highcurrent 9V 400mA outputs and can I use the 12Vs for 9V pedals?
The Octa-Switch MK2 can be powered from output 5 or 6 on a Pedal Power 2+ with the corresponding DIP switch set to Normal, or from any 9V High Current output on an ISO-5, Digital, 4x4, or Mondo.
You may be able to power all your pedals with your Pedal Power 2+ by combining a few lower current draw pedals using two of our Output Splitter Adapters.
The 12V outputs on the 4x4 can be used at the same time as the 9V outputs they are ganged with, but they should only be used with pedals that are able to accept 12V.
Maybe a stupid question but Im just getting into this:
If I use the PPAV Output Splitter will I be able to use it thru #6 (if the Octa goes to #5) on the PP+2?
As long as the two effects dont go over 250 mA together that is.
You can use the Output Splitter on any output really, as long as the combined current draw of the paired pedals does not exceed the current limit for the output used. You'll have 100mA on outputs 1-4 and 7 & 8, and 250mA on outputs 5 and 6.

I hope that helps!
You mean the Octa Switch can be powered with only 1 cable on output 5 or 6? (which would mean 250mA on the pedal power 2+)

Carl Martin states that it should be 380mA
Interesting... user's tests have shown it to work, but I do admit to not ever having one myself to test with. You could use a Current Doubler Adapter (the one with the Green end) connected to both outputs 5 and 6 with their corresponding DIP switches set to Normal if you prefer.
I'm using an early-model Carl Martin Octa-Switch (not MKII OR MKIII) plugged into my Power 2 Plus (Plug #6-'normal' position dip switch) and even though the Octa-Switch manual asks for 360Ma from a '9 volt DC regulated 500Ma power supply'...it works!
