Pedal Power Mondo mount under PT-2 and line up AC holes?

Post by GuitarWildman »

I have a Pedaltrain-2 and have a Pedal Power 2 mounted underneath, and the AC as well as the courtesy are lined up with the PT-2 holes nicely. I need to power more pedals and keep isolation as well as high current on some pedals.

I've been thinking of replacing the PedalPower 2+ with a Voodoo-Lab Pedal Power Mondo but the only thing holding me back (and I want to buy something as soon as possible) is if I'll have issues mounting Mondo underneath the PT-2 and will it also have the luxury of still having the same holes line up (AC in as well as the courtesy holes) with the PT-2 the way it currently is (very nice)?

Would the Pedal Power Mondo solve my problem by providing more outputs, but cause me brain ache by not mounting underneath PT-2 and/or mounting fine, but not really by maybe not having the AC and courtesy holes line up with the holes the same way the Pedal Power 2 does?

Actually, I'm thinking a better idea may be to buy the ISO-5 and chain it off of the PP-2 courtesy to get the xtra outputs that I need (since I just read that the Mondo courtesy doesn't line up w/ PT-2 derr...). Is chaining the ISO-5 off or the PP-2 courtesy a bad idea? If so, how/why would that be a bad idea? ie will it pull too many amps? Will it kill the ground isolation that I'm trying to achieve? THanks for listening and the input.

My thinking might be wrong, but the PP2+'s courtesy outlet is 200W max. The ISO-5 runs off off 120V. So P=I*V, 200W/120V=1.66A. I feel like this is a little low for supplying another high-current PS.

I might suggest that you either put in a ISO-5 and then have a power strip in in the pedal train for both power supplies.
Or, just get a Mondo and deal with the misalignment.
I hope that makes sense and helps.
