Hooking up BOSS ME-80 and Flashback x4.

Post by WYSblue »

Hello! I am looking at getting the VooDoo Power 2 Plus and was wondering if I'd be able to hook my BOSS ME-80 and Flashback x4 to it. I know 5 and 6 are 250 mA slots so I would need a current doubler for the flashback x4 because it's a 300mA at 9V. The BOSS ME-80 is 200 mA at 9v. Can I hook the boss ME-80 with that somehow because that would equal the 500 mA as needed if both combined?
Side note: I saw the output for the VooDOO Power 2 Plus is-(4 x 9V/12V 100mA, 2 x 9V 250mA, 2 x 9V 100mA) Does that mean I could use another current doubler on slots 7, and 9 to get the 200 mA 9v needed for the BOSS ME-80 and still have the first 1-4 slots for four 100mA pedals?

Hi there,
I’d use the ME-80 on 1-4, it uses a PSA power supply and that’s what they are for, see how it goes. It should be fine, if not put it on 5 or 6 in normal position. With the Flashback, it needs to be in 5 or 6, in the normal position. The Pedal Power 2+, it will cut out if it gets overloaded, if it does with the ME-80 in 1-4, put it in 5 or 6. See how you go.

And some other stuff.
