Help... power supply related (xvive v19, tonehammer,...)

[johnpaulbass]

Hello guys,

 

I need a help... I'm planning to do myself a "in ear" pedalboard which will be very simple:

aguilar tonehammer - compressor (mxr m87 probably) - tuner (boss pedal tuner)

I would like to put this on a pedaltrain nano and would like to run everything through a Xvive v19 (https://www.thomann.de/gb/xvive_v19_micro_power.htm) power supply  (putting the tonehummer in the 18v input and the other 2 pedals in the 9v inputs).

Will be there enough power or is better to leave the aguilar tonehammer having it's own "power" using it's original power supply ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

The Xvive v19 only supplies 300mA

I can't seem to find a definitely spec for the current draw of the tonehammer, but a couple of talkbass threads suggest it's 500mA

MXR 87 is only 19mA according to this site: https://effektpedaler.dk/en/product/mxr-m87-bass-compressor/

Boss TU-3 draws 30mA

So you want a power supply can can do 550mA or more. It looks like the Xvive won't cut it v19

I find 500mA difficult to believe for the Tonehammer. It's analog and has no tubes, probably well under 100mA. It works on 48V phantom power too btw!

EDIT: 7mA according to the manual:

So there is a power supply that would supply enough power for those 3 pedals ?

That's not much current, so pretty much any power supply with 9v and 18v outputs. Or a standard 9V supply with an 18v converter tip.

Good find! I looked at the manual but missed that

Thanks for the answer, 
 

would you be so kind to give me some examples ? Like brands, pedals and such... thanks.

the one you linked will be fine

[dannybuoy]

That one'll probably be fine... It doesn't have isolated outputs though, but you probably won't need them. If you want to buy one supply now that'll fit under a nano, has isolated outputs, and don't mind spending more on the premium stuff, look up these:

• Cioks DC5 / DC7
• Truetone CS6
• Strymon Ojai R30
