Powering two units from one power supply

Post by Ahremaz »

I have a pedal train and have installed the pedal power 2 unit as expected. I needed to power more pedals and hate using daisy chain so I bought another pedal power 2 and am going to use that to power remaining pedals.

My question is, is there any way to power both units from one power supply by somehow connecting the two units? Hope this makes sense, I don't want to have another power cable running under my pedalboard if I can help it, so was wondering if the two units could power each other somehow

Thanks in advance for any help,

You can certainly use the Courtesy Outlet on one Pedal Power 2+ to power any other model Pedal Power.

I hope that helps!

Thanks for confirming, I have the UK version is there any particular cable I need to use to connect the two, or do I just get a standard IEC cable out from the courtesy 1, into the standard power socket of 2 ?

And once this is achieved,
Assuming this is correct can i then use the courtesy outlet of 2, to power up a digitech whammy? I just don't want to blow it all up lol I assume all these outlets are independent ?

The Export model of Pedal Power has a Reverse IEC jack. To use this to power a second Pedal Power you would need a cable like this...

For powering the Whammy, or any UK "wall wart" type adapter you would likely want something like this...

The shop where you purchased your Pedal Power may have a line on how to get this sort of thing locally.

I hope that helps!
