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
