Home › Forums › Help/Technical Questions › Ring Thing powered by Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2? (Not “Plus”)
Hi, I’ve read where I can power the Ring Thing with the PP2 PLUS. Can I power it with the PP2?
?
okay, 115 views, no replies – so this must be really easy or really hard!
The PP2 documentation says it can deliver 9V, 200mA in “Line 6 Mode”
The Ring Thing documentation says it requires 9 – 9.6VDC at 200mA
Is this all I need to know?
Would I need to use the RED plug cable supplied by Voodoo Lab for Line 6 effects?
Is it safe to try?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
The red cable reverses the polarity of the power for pedals that take center positive (as opposed to the normal center negative) power, for example, since my EHX Hog takes center positive power, I use it on one of the high current outputs on my PP2+ with a red cable. However, since my SMMH is center negative, I use it on one of the 200 ma outputs but with a black cable.
I didn’t answer earlier because I wasn’t sure of the difference between the + and your version, but since you have the 200ma 9v line six outputs, I think that should be satisfactory, but don’t use the red tipped cable, use the black, because the ring thing is center negative as indicated by the symbol on top of it.
Whenever powering pedals (or anything DC) you need to remember 3 things: voltage, amperage, and polarity.
Thanks Julian.
So my old PP2 will deliver 9v, 200mA (with the dip switch in Line 6 mode) and I’ll use the standard cable, center negative. (Not the red tipped cable.)
