    Hi,

    I have an EH 2ube stereo tube pedal, and an EH 12ay7 micpre. Both have the EH12v1000ma psu, but I would like to reduce the amount of wart chaos on my pedal board.

    What is the real current draw of each these pedals? Is it possible to cascade to both pedals from a single EH12v1000ma psu?

    Lastly: Is there a power brick you can recommend for a floor board that could accomodate these pedals, as well as other pedals (most bricks seem to offer no more than a few hundred ma per 12v output.. which probably won’t be enough, right?).

    For info:
    This is for a live vocal pedal board that splits to stereo effects, so the 12ay7 handles vox in, and 2ube takes the stereo line signal out…

    Thanks for your help.

    The 12AY7 Mic Pre draws about 640 mA RMS with no phantom power. A typical phantom powered mic will probably raise that to 645 mA RMS.

    The LPB-2ube draws 620 mA RMS.

    It would be a bad idea to run more than one tube pedal from the AC Adapter that they are supplied with.

    You rock sir!

    Exactly what I needed to know.. So I guess I should be on the lookout for a beefy 12v 2A supply if i ever wish to run these from a single socket. Goo dto know!

    Thanks very much!

    Hallo
    I’m a pedalboards builder.
    Thanks for all informations about current draw.
    Searching in answers on this 3d I have to think that Black Finger needs a little bit more of 300mA from ext AC transformer. Is that right?

    Thank you very much.
    All the best

    Yeah. Pretty much all the tube pedals draw between 600 and 650 mA.

    What’s the draw for the Worm? The Voodoo PP+ only does 60mA out the first couple jacks, but I’m already using a Nova Delay on one of the higher current 12v outs.

    I saw the entry for Deluxe Memory Boy. Is the output requirements the same for the new version with Tap Tempo? Has anyone run this pedal @ 12v? Will that damage it?

    Hi,

    I’d like to know the current drawn for the EHX #1 Echo.

    Thanks.

    There is only one version of the Deluxe Memory Boy and it has tap tempo.

    There really isn’t much difference at 12V.

    Delay pedals generally have a voltage regulator so more voltage won’t really make any difference.

    I’m having a tough time trying to locate the #1 echo’s ma current. I’m wondering if I can run it off of one of the 100ma outputs on my PP2 or do I need to use one of the 250ma outputs like my holy grail plus?? Thank You for any answers

    The #1 Echo draws about 185mA so you will need to connect it to one of the 250mA outputs.

    Ok, thanks for the quick reply. Would I then be able to daisy a couple pedals such as the Pulsar and Small Clone old box, as long as I stay under the 250ma rating for that output? Echo=190 Pulsar=17 Small Clone=10 etc.? Thanks
