    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!

    Only the filaments draw 300mA. The rest of the circuitry will also draw some current. If you can use an ammeter or know someone who does, you can read the total current draw easily enough.

    Aha well – given the title of the thread, I was hoping someone here with a bit of knowledge could tell me?

    Thanks for the response.

    Holy cow. A reply within 10 minutes? Thats gotta be a record :-)

    If the tube pedals draw 300ma, and the 12v psu can push a full amp, then tt should be safe enough to cascade both pedals from a single EH 12v psu right? The EH website describes the PSUs as unique, which I assume is simply regarding the high output.. but is there anything else I need to think about if I try this 2-from-1 approach?

    Thanks for your help!

    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.
