4x4 with Pigtronix Mothership & Other Pedals

Post by luca9583 »

Hi there

I am currently running a 4x4 to power the following:

Soundsculpture Switchblade 8F
Pitchfactor
Superego
Dead Horse Deluxe Overdrive

Would the 4x4 be able to power the Mothership as part of this setup?

There isn't really a convenient way to get the 48V (according to the manual ;) ) that the Mothership requires. Unless there is an 18V version (web site says it is 18V :? ), I think you'll have to use it's supplied adapter.

I hope that helps!

Thanks John. I have a Mothership that has been updated to accept 18VDC 300ma negative tip power supply...in which case could i power it with my current setup?

Also had another question...

Could i also power 2 Midi boxes that take 5v DC as part of this setup?

For the 18V Mothership, you would need to use a Voltage Doubler Adapter connected to two of the High Current 9V outputs.

Now 5V is back to the original story... there isn't really a convenient way to get that. What exactly are these MIDI boxes?

Thanks again John!

The Midi boxes are a Kenton Midi USB Host and a Technobots Midi Thru Box
