Do I need PP2+ or 4x4?

Post by PTS »

With these 9 pedals (I plan to daisychain two of the basic 9v pedals from one source), would a PP2+ or 4x4 be better suited? I have some higher voltage analog and some digital pedals. Here's the breakdown (as best I can find) regarding power requirements:

DIGITAL PEDALS:
Strymon Timeline - 9vDC, 250mA
Strymon Flint - 9vDC, 250mA
Line 6 M5 - 9vDC, 350mA

HIGHER VOLTAGE ANALOG PEDALS:
Kingsley Jester - 12vAC, 1amp, 300mA
Fulltone OCD - 18vDC (preferred, although could do 9v)

BASIC 9v ANALOG PEDALS:
BYOC Large Beaver Fuzz
Basic Audio Zippy Fuzz
Sonic Research Turbo Tuner
Buzz Electronics Pedal switcher

Thanks in advance!

Well the AC powered pedal can't be powered with a normal Pedal Power, and for all the others, since you have a lot of digital, high current pedals, I would recommend a 4x4.

Hope that helps.

There aren't any Voodoo Lab products that support AC power? I guess there isn't a huge demand for it. The PP2+ does in a way with it's courtesy outlet in the back, but the PP+2 will struggle with Strymon Timeline and Line 6 M5. No courtesy outlet on 4x4, unfortunately. Hmm, such a dilemma.

Consider the Pedal Power Mondo.
