Hi there,

First time poster, long time reader. Thank you retroactively for all of the helpful advice over the years

Looking for advice on the limits of the PP2+ courtesy outlet...

I'm currently running my board from a Pedal Power 2+ and Pedal Power Digital into the PP2+'s courtesy outlet. This is exactly what I'm powering with each one (not sure if it will make a difference for my query or not):

PP2+:
Fairfield Accountant
Boss TU-3s > Sonuus G2M V3 (from power out)
MXR Micro amp
CBA Brothers
Boss CH-1
MXR Phase 95 mini
TC Flashback mini
Strymon Deco

Digital:
Boss ES-8
Boss RV-500
Strymon Timeline
Eventide H9

I'm trying to add a DSI Evolver desktop synthesizer to my board (god help me) and I'm wondering if the courtesy outlet on the PP2+ will be able to handle the Pedal Power Digital AS WELL AS the DSI Evolver with a multi-output adapter. It's rated at 1.15A x 13V = ~15 Watts. The Pedal Power Digital doesn't indicate its maximum wattage, but in another thread someone mentioned being able to power a 180 Watt Amplifier from the courtesy outlet, so I figured there's a decent chance I could split it to the PP digital and the Evolver.

Thanks for your help!

P.S. It's also worth adding that a few months ago, my previous PP Digital unit (Made in 2014) died randomly. I say random because it was probably the 30th rehearsal with the same effects units in the same space using the same outlet. Not sure if I'm overloading any of these units or not but figured I'd mention it.. It was just 2 months outside of warranty so I'm assuming there is a good reason why the warranty is specified at 5 years.

It's perfectly fine to use the AC courtesy outlet as you describe (and FYI... Pedal Power Digital will not use more than 40 watts).

As for your other/older Pedal Power Digital...

Please, call us or send us an email ( info@voodoolab.com ) we are glad to arrange for its inspection and repair.

Cheers!

That's great to know, thank you!

I already sent my digital unit for inspection but I couldn't justify the repair costs given how much I paid for it / how much I'd be able to sell it for. I needed to buy a replacement immediately for a gig when the first one died so I'm good to go.

Thanks again for your help
