No it isn't... not from the 9v outlets anyway. Look at the power requirements.

Wait till the ISO 5 comes out or the Versa, this will power the Eventide Timefactor and the rest!

FWIW I am powering the Mod and Timefactor pedals with the PP2+.

I don't know if it is 'authorised' but it has been working fine for me.
Use the Line 6 outputs with the red barrel.

Mine works fine using a custom cable. I used a current doubler cable with a 2.5mm reverse polarity end. It's powered from the 5/6 outputs, on line6 mode.

Yup, the Line 6 modelers have the exact same v and mA ratings as the Eventide stompboxes. (9v, 1200mA, center+) Since the PP2+ is made to work with the Line 6 pedals, it consequently works with the Eventide pedals just as well. I power a TimeFactor along with 7 other pedals from the PP2+ with no problems at all. (just use the L6 setting, and the red polarity reversal cable) Don't let people tell ya you need a Versa, or ISO5.

I'll also add, that I tried running the TF with the PP2+ on the standard 9v low-current setting, and even then it worked fine. But I still keep it on the L6 setting, just cos there's no reason not to.

Has anyone confirmed with eventide that the timefactor can be powered via the PP2+ ? This question has been a very popular one for eventide.

Over a year ago, there was a thread on their forum stating they would research the industries leading power supplies (they would be ignorant to not include voodoo lab PP2+) to confirm that no internal damage would be done to the pedal as a result of not using the specified eventide adapter.

An official response that it can be powered safely would be great.

I'm not sure what you are looking for, or better, that you are looking in the right place...

Above you see that we are successfully powering the Factor pedals without issue. Your request is that Eventide makes an official statement. While I understand your concern due to the cost involved if something were to get fried, I am just unclear why you are asking for official word from Eventide in the Voodoo Lab forum. I can only give you the official word from Voodoo Lab, which is that it works and is safe.

Voodoo Lab - We know power supplies so you don't have to. ;)
