Pedal Power?

Hello!
I'm wiring a pedal board for a client and he happens to have some odd ball effects that I need help powering! I already have one PP 2+ on the board but, he's using a Rocktron Banshee talk box and the adapter reads input: 120vac 60Hz 26w / output: 9vac 2000mA will this be safe with the PP2+ ? the next unit is the Digitech RP500 DC power. Then there is a sampson wireless that requires 12v DC 120 MA 2.4va I'm kind of lost as to what power box to use on these units and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
JP

I hope I'm not too late on this one, sorry :oops:

Both the Banshee and the RP 500 require AC power and cannot be powered from the DC outputs on a Pedal Power 2+. A Pedal Power AC could power both of these pedals with each pedal connected to one of its high current 9VAC outputs. Alternatively, you could power both of these pedals using the supplied power adapters connected to the Courtesy Outlet on the back of the Pedal Power 2+ with a small power strip.

The wireless might be able to be powered from any one of outputs 1-4 with the corresponding DIP switch set away from Normal. However, if it actually does draw the 120mA (I assume its not really MA... Mega Amps! ;) ) stated, then you would want to use any two of outputs 1-4 with the DIP switches set away from Normal connected together with a Current Doubler cable.

I hope that helps!
