Hi people,

I have had a hunt but can't find a definative answer...

I run my pedals off my Diago power station, but as I don't want to overload the power supply. I have just invested in some more pedals, but before I power it all up when they arrive is this safe...

Boss TU2
Boss CEB3
Boss BF2B
Boss DD3
Proco Turbo Rat
EMMA Discumbobulator
EHX Bass Micro Synth - With gigrig virtual battery
EHX Bass Blogger - With gigrig virtual battery
4 loops/switches (Which I belive only uses the power for the LED).

That's 12 pedals, running 1 daisy chain into the other. According to what the daisy chain says it will run, and my limited understanding, it seems it can run about 30 average Boss pedals... Am I wrong?

I also intend to add a EQ pedal soon, making 13, meaning I will need to run the diago into 3 daisy chains to keep it to 1 power supply... Is this fine?

Sorry if this has been covered a million times...

Shep

Look at my pedalboard in the thread you bought the loops from. Everything in that except the Rolls SX21 (own power supply) Lehle P-split (passive) and Whammy (own power supply) are powered off one Diago Power Station.

Anyone know if the line 6 range of larger pedals, particuarly the MM4 or DL4 are happy to be daisy chained? I know they run 9v but don't know if, like the larger EHX pedals, requires an isolated supply (or virtual battery).

Cheers

You can buy an adapter for them to run with a 9v power supply. You can't use a regular daisychain cable. I'm not sure they fit. But yeah, if you do a google search, you should be able to find them. Diago make them (its their 'green adapter'), but you can get them cheaper.

So they are centre positive rather than centre negative?

Edit - found some info from diago, it needs to be a 2.5mm positive. Sorted!
