TC Plethora Power supply

spev11

My Plethora says it wants 9v 600mah (well its written on it, its not talking to me- yet). I've read reports that people have had it running fine with a 500mah supply but I've not had much luck. Admittedly I only have a Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO1PRO (its got 8 9v 500mah outputs). It worked for about 10 mins then reset itself so promptly back to the supplied adapter. I'm only running 3 pedals (Ibanez Mini Fuzz, Mini TS and a Mooer Black Secret) and a Morley ABC switch so I've not sucked the Mah's out of it.
  I can't find any power supply that gives more than 500mah, anybody know of one? Or has anybody had better luck than me with a max 500mah supply? 
Im happy with the Harley Benton to be honest, its worked without issue for 3 years, just want to reduce the cable nightmare and keep the board tidy

ah no it comes with one of them, I was hoping to run all my pedals off one supply

I think you can use on of these, it allows you to get higher output by utilising two outputs on your power supply.

That is indeed the very thing, ta muchly

I've also been looking for the very same thing this last week for my X3
The only one I have found is a Cioks Dc7.
Looks to be ideal but very expensive

I think one of these would work with the voltage doubler linked above.

Each output is 300mA. So doubled, becomes 600mA

A lot cheaper option than the Cioks

Remember chaps it is not the voltage that needs to be doubled here, it is the current.   You don't want to stick 18v in your x3 / x5.   You want a current doubler. 

spev11

its this one to double the current

Yeap, that will do the trick.   I have just measure my x5 with a one spot mA meter and it seemed to spike about 520ma on boot and has then settled around 490-510ma in usage.  Stinkfoot rates it at 600ma. https://stinkfoot.se/archives/1171

A Truetone CS6, 7 or 12 will work. I have a CS12 and despite the output sockets being labelled as 500ma, it runs a Line 6 HX Stomp absolutely fine, which has a higher current draw.

I also had a Plethora X5 and it worked fine with that too.
