Mondo/PP2+ with PT Jr?

Post by Eddie_Gtrman »

I may have mistakenly posted this in the wrong section before - apologies!

New to the forum and have seen looking for some suggestions. I've gotten quite ambitious and am trying to get power to (too many) pedals on a Pedaltrain PT Jr board. My question is this:

1) Will a PP Mondo fit under a PT Jr and mount with the same brackets that come with it for the PP2+? (thus giving me 12 lines of power)
OR
2) Can I get two Pedal Power 2+ units under a PT Jr? (giving me up to 16 lines of power)

And no, I don't want to move up to a PT1 or PT2 if I can avoid it at all. I know this is a bit crazy and either way I go I will need to cut out new hole(s) for the power cord access in the front of the board.

Unfortunately, most of the stores around don't carry a Mondo where I can actually see one in action. But even 2 of the PP2+ would be my preferred way to go if it's possible.

Thoughts?
Thanks so much for your input!

Mondo should fit just fine.

I don't know if two Pedal Power 2+ would fit since you would have the extra space from the extra brackets.

Obviously, either way will need some modding if you want full access to the Courtesy Outlets.

Good Luck!

Thanks John! Yeah, I'm not concerned about the courtesy outlets. Mainly just trying to cram a bunch of pedals onto a board I can travel with. Love the VoodoLab products!

We start rehearsals for the tour on Monday. I really appreciate your quick response!
Thanks,
Eddie

Just wanted to follow up on this post:

I did mount two Pedal Power 2+ units under a PT Junior! :D I ran them all the way to the sides and mounted them to the outside frame. This left a slight gap to vent on each side and about a half inch between the two power supply units which allows me to still run power cables up through the top row.

I did have to drill an additional hole in the front of the PT Jr in order to allow access for the power cable on the additional unit, but using the existing holes, I can still access the convenience jack and jump one PP2 off the other, or I can run both power cords separately.

And the power is completely quiet which is so awesome!!

At this point, I have 13 pedals mounted and powered with the capacity to run 3 additional pedals off-board. AND achieved my main goal in all of this which is the unit is still just around 40 pounds with the ATA case so I can actually take my entire rig on fly dates instead of reducing a fly rig down to only a handful of pedals!!

Thanks again for the input, and huge thanks to Voodoo Lab for making the coolest products on the planet!

This speaks to My question: Can I use 2 Pedal Power 2's or a PP2 & a Iso5 on the same board & leave one plugged into the others courtesy outlet w/o extra noise or damage?
