Ricochet, Flashback X4, etc on a PP2+

[Chris in MD]

Hi,

I have a PP2+ and have been powering my Flashback X4 with the current doubler cable on 5 and 6, but now i have a Digitech Ricochet and MXR 10 band EQ.

I've seen people on here saying they use just either 5 or 6 and move the switch away from normal?


The Ricochet literature is saying it takes around 230 ma, but I'm hoping less than that.

The MXR is an 18v pedal with a low current draw, and it looks like i'd have to run that off the aux power?

Help, please and thanks.

Edit: The Ricochet and Flashback seem to power up fine running on 5 and 6, so unless it's a false positive (a Whammy IV powered up but still didnt work), I'm good with those two.

You can power the Ricochet and the X4 each directly from a Pedal Power 2+ output 5 or 6 with the corresponding DIP switch set to Normal, no problem!

The 10-Band EQ can be powered using a Voltage Doubler Adapter connected to any two outputs with the corresponding DIP switches set to Normal.

The Whammy 4 requires AC power and cannot be powered from the DC outputs of the Pedal Power 2+.

I hope that helps!

Yes, i ordered a voltage doubler cable and now i think I'm set as long as the X4 doesn't crap out using 5/6 on Normal!

Thanks, John!
