Powering a Ross Compressor & Alesis Microverb

Can the PP2+ power the Grey Ross Compressor? Although it is the grey one, it was make in Taiwan. On the back it says "Requires 9 volts D. C. negative ground." Would I just use the 3.5mm plug on normal setting? Would it matter which slot it is plugged into?

Also, can the Pedal Power AC power the original Alesis Microverb? The microverb has a 3.5mm plug, and I noticed my PPAC didn't come with one (like the PP2+ did). Or is this one of the AC pedals that can actually be powered by the PP2+?

Okay and one more... Is it okay to plug the PP2+ into the PPAC's courtesy plug (or vice versa) to save how many power cables I have coming out of my gear that need to be plugged in somewhere?

Thanks!

You should be able to power the Ross Compressor from any output on the Pedal Power 2+ with the corresponding DIP switch set to Normal.

The Microverb likely only accepts AC so it will have to be powered from one of the 9V outputs on the Pedal Power AC. The 3.5mm plug is extremely uncommon for AC use so this will require a custom cable.

You can absolutely use the Courtesy Outlet of one Pedal Power unit to power another Pedal Power unit... in fact you could string up about ten of them this way!

I hope that helps!
