High current pedals and Trex Chameleon

OK so here's the thing.....

i run a board from a t-rex Chameleon
Specs here:

Currently it runs just a BBE Optostomp, a COG Custom Khyber Pass chorus and a Boss TU-3 tuner - so all low current draws.

I am considering adding an EBS Valve Drive pedal to my rig.

which according to the specs page above draws 700mA..

Depending on where one looks the T-Rex Chameleon says it can supply either 300mA or 350mA per 9V output but there is provision for current doubling if you can find a current doubling cable...t-rex have them on their site:

I have had an e-mail exchange with a well known (on here) supplier of the EBS Valve Drive who states:

[size=3]the EBS would be a great choice and should work with any good power supply unit.[/quote][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I'm not so sure....[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I know the EBS comes with its own PSU but I don't think its switchable to 110V and I hope to be going to US soon so it would need US leccy.[/font][/size]
[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]So I was wondering if it could run off the Chameleon - I'm still non the wiser....[/font][/size]

Bought a DHA VT1 EQ DI MK2 instead

plus a T-Rex current doubler that allows the use of 2 x 12VDC supplies from the T-Rex delivering 600mA

Mr Hall reckons that'll be more than enough...

Looing forward to delivery...

probably going to whack a 12AU7 in instead [i have a 12AY7 and 12AT7 too to try] so there's not so much overdrive going on....
