hi all

I have a flanger hoax pedal without a power adapter. I have an old laptop power supply which is 18v @ 1.6amps. I also have a dunlop univibe without a power adapter.

Flanger Hoax – 18 volts 500ma
Univibe – 18 volts 150ma

my adapter – 18volts 1.6amps.

Now here’s the Electrical engineering question I can’t answer. Can I use said adapter in a daisy chain configuration and will the extra amperage be irrelevant.

ie —-18volts@1.6amps—(+)

Problems I see with this:

1) V=IR and 1500ma + 1150ma will not equal 1 1.6 x 10^3ma

2) assuming the pedals draw only what they need current wise : how will the resistance of the pedals influence things? Or is it the resistance of the peadals that determines the draw of current?

3) I think that a laptop operates at a pretty small current most of the time, and more when charging a battery etc. So I think it is pretty reasonable to assume that the laptop power supply has a fairly stable voltage output when the current varies.

4) I ONLY HALF KNOW THIS STUFF! And its something I would like to learn. but at the moment i would just like to get my pedals working with the adapter I have.

Flanger Hoax manual has a hard-core statment like “use the adpater that comes in the box or prepare for interspatial wormholes”.. .. …. I find it hard to image the Flanger Hoax using 500ma -unless its incredible sound IS actually made through opening interspatial wormholes.. heeeheee

( BTW: FLANGER HOAX SOUNDS INCREDIBLE) (UNBELIEVABLEY INCREDIBLE!)

So if anyone could help me out it would be cool. Statements like – go buy two power adapters- aren’t what i’m after. even if it is the option that makes most sense.

I also have a question about grounding of pedals negativepositive grounding and how that effects…well…err…um.. my effects

First post so go easy.

EHx – u make delicious effects.like willy wonka delicious.
