Tech 21 pedals using Boss psa power suuply

[thebassman]

I have got a Boss tu3 and Psa 230es.
Does anyone know if it's safe to run Rech 21 pedals of the daisy chain?
I have the bass xxl and vt bass.
They seem the same size input socket.
Cheers

From a voltage and polarity standpoint I'm pretty sure you'll be ok - my Boss supply powers my Sansamp BDDI fine. I'd just check the tech specs first to be sure you're not trying to pull too much current in total.

This is proving more tricky than I thought.
I have checked the manual, on the ideal and the Tech 21 website. I can't see it mentioned anywhere.
Anyone had any better luck than me?

Info is nicely hidden on Tech 21's site - but for both pedals, it recommends a minimum of 100mA per pedal and the TU-3 is 35mA.

Your power supply is rated at 200 mA - so you are on the wrong side - will be safer to get a new PSU buddy!

Yeah, I wondered if it might be pushing it a little.

Thanks for the Tech 21 info, i spent ages looking for that.

When i do a search online, some of the psa230es links say 200mA and some say 500mA.

I have just bought one and on the box it says:

Input AC 100-240 V 50-60 Hz 250mA / output DC 9V 0.5A (500 mA), this looks all good to me.

Have a check on the plug label or box.

cheers
