Digitech Whammy Power Supply

[thumbo]

Where's the best place to acquire a replacement power supply for a Digitech Whammy? I've had a search on the forum but couldn't see anything. I imagine this is quite a popular question since Digitech have been so awkward in making a power supply specifically for this pedal.

I thought I lost mine a while ago, because it's quite an odd spec I couldn't find a generic replacement, I found some pretty cheap on evilBay though

That looks ideal, thanks Kev. It's a shame I placed an order with Maplin only 2 days ago and I was wondering what I could add to it to get free delivery

[thumbo]

Is this the one you mentioned Kev? I see there's a few on there.

Ugh, no. I had a Maplins one. It was massive, heavy, took up space on my pedalboard and introduced LOADS of noise.

effectspowersupplies have one which is smaller, cheap enough, doesn't take up too much room (it's a wall wart, but not a massive one), doesn't weigh a ton, and isn't noisy. Get that.

I was going to ask the same question.
Ive got a whammy xp collecting dust somewhere and lost the power supply ages ago. my line 6 power supply works with it though

True, its quite large, but no noise whatsoever...either you had a dodgy one, or it was something else (i used one with a wh1, in a 15 pedal board)

I repeat, very good supply, and currently use it for my Mesa pedal, to great effect and yes mate, thats the one

I had that exact one with my whammy. No noise at all...pretty big though .

The Maplin one sounds ideal, but it's not gonna do that annoying thing where you can't really plug things in next to it on a 4-way is it? That would be a problem!

Iv never had a full 5-way before, so the problem has never arose for me, but yes you'll have trouble having plugs either side of it.
