Thanks Flick!
October 19, 2020 at 7:45 pm #126548IOSEPHVSParticipantHi. I ordered a Flanger Hoax which is due to arrive tomorrow. The instruction PDF stipulates that I am to only use the 18V 500mA adapter that ships with it. The spreadsheet here shows that the FH requires 75 mA. I have an unused 18V 100mA power source in my S8. Is that safe to use to power the pedal? Thanks.

Before you attempt to use the 18VDC/100mA power supply, make sure the output plug is center-positive and the size is 5.5 x 2.5 (mm). Otherwise, yes, 100mA should be sufficient to power the Flanger Hoax.

The S8 has one 18V 150mA output, not 100mA as I previously stated. It is center negative so I will need a polarity reversal cable as the Flanger Hoax requires 18V center positive. Thanks.

Yes, you have it right. A Voodoo Labs PPL6 cable should do the trick.

Hi. The PPL6-R works fine. Thanks.
August 1, 2021 at 5:15 am #184469rustymangoParticipantHi, lately I have problems with the power supply of the good vibes, the manual says 45mA at 9VDC but my 120mA 9V multi-output power supply can not drive it.
I measured with a multimeter and the consumption is about 140mA, even with its power supply. Is this normal?August 1, 2021 at 9:24 am #184474EHX STAFFKeymasterRusty please write the techs on Monday at info@ehx.com
October 28, 2021 at 10:36 am #186160CrackedsapParticipantHey guys
Thinking about getting a OpAmp Muff Pumpkin Patch JHS Mod, only thing is, they are only shipping from japan atm. Will it run on a regular uk 9v power supply or will I have to source some kind of adaptor?
Nice one!
