ped Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Hi folks One of my pedals needs powering with a wall wart. I want to put that under my pedalboard (everything else will be powered by a Cioks DC5). There should be room for a double plug (one for the wall wart, one of the Cioks) but ideally i'd like one with a removable cable. I can't seem to find one anywhere. Unless I'm missing something? The pedal requires a specific adaptor with a unique plug at the pedal end so I guess the adaptor is the only way, even though it's a bit of a faff. So any recommendations? I might be able to attach a power supply to the two 9v battery snaps but I'm not sure that'll work as it's not quite the same as an 18v supply - I think the power requirement is +/0/- 9v via a three pole plug.

ped Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 Could I then use one of these to power the cioks and the wall wart from a single external plug? The Mutron doesn't draw much power I don't think, neither do the pedals powered by the Cioks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be under the board but it’s still worth getting a locking one 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 What’s the power requirements of the pedal? Can’t you just make a custom lead from you main PSU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure in terms of MAh but two 9v batteries last ages. The Cioks can handle loads for the remaining pedals, again each has a low requirement based on my experience but not sure exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 I guess technically it’s the same as plugging the mutron and the rest of the board into two plugs in an extension lead which would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
