PP2+ Nervous about frying my pedals!

Post by ohernan6 »

Hello,

I just wanted to get some experienced peeps to let me know if my connection setup is safe and making sense. Specifically, I'm looking to see if the way I have my Ground Control Pro connected to my PP2+ is safe. I'm using a Voodoo Lab Current Doubler Adapter connected to the 2 last outputs of the PP2+. I'm also connecting a Whammy to output 5, and a El Capistan to output 6.

Are these pedals connected in a good way? I barely added the El Capistan last week and I used them this way for the first time with no problem. Before this, I had used all of them similarly connected for a couple of years – but I hadn't done any reading about mA and Volts...

Here's an image that can probably better describe my setup:

Thank you!

If it's all working consistently and the Pedal Power 2 Plus is not getting too hot (warm is fine), then it should be okay to continue setup as such.

If
you notice any problems, you might make these adjustments:

To power the Whammy (5) with Pedal Power 2 Plus, use a Current Doubler Adapter, part# PPAP in outputs 4 and 5 (or 6 and 7), DIP switches set normal (9VDC) with one of the all black (standard polarity) cables supplied.

To power the Ground Control Pro with Pedal Power 2 Plus, use a Current Doubler Adapter, part# PPAP in outputs 4 and 5 (or 6 and 7), DIP switches set normal (9VDC) with the supplied red/black ended cable (it's 2.1mm/2.5mm reverse polarity and the red end fits the effect pedal).


Cheers!
