How do you power your Vox DelayLab?

vaticancameos

I just got a Powerplant Jr. from Thomann, with 5 100ma 9v iso outputs on, it powers the DelayLab up but into like a 'warning mode' where it doesnt actually work...

The manual just says '9V power supply' and doesnt give an indication of how many ma it needs... I'm gonna go ahead and assume it needs 400ma like the Line 6 modellers and shit do?

If so, I guess ill get an ISO5 or a HotStone SMD for the high current output?

d8m

Current consumption 200mA (typical).

You can power it up with a higher mA supply though, the pedal will only take what it needs.

Ebay replacements are 1.0a.
All the images i can see of the original PS say it's a 600ma supply.

I would say it's safe to assume it's around a 400ma requirement, as you said.
Most of the replies i found to this question were suggesting using the high current output on an ISO5 (Is that 500ma, i can;t remember?)

If it's going silly with the 100ma power, then i reckon you've sussed it and it needs far more wallop.

Do you have a wall wart you can test it with? Anything above 500ma will tell you if you're right.
I've got a spare 1.0a PS here with a daisy chain if you want to borrow it for testing - you're not far away if you can be arsed to come and get it ?

The powerplant junior comes with a current doubling cable (yellow). Goes into two outputs. that may do it if it need 200ma as spec.

I use a Visual Sound One Spot, with the Delaylab daisy-chained with a digital reverb and a load of analogue pedals.

Had no issues. Ever.

Use a Boss PSU after the original one broke...no issues

I used to use the diago daisy PSU thingy. Was only £30 and worked with no drama.

Did you get a PSU with yours? I didn't...

I use a dedicated wall wart.   

I use a One Spot daisy chain for my standard analogue pedals.  
Everything else gets either its intended factory special power supply, a dedicated 9v wall wart; or a battery.

I use the yellow doubler cable for the power plant jr into my DelayLab. Works fine.

Sweet! Can always trust you lads to know what's up

I find electricity works best.




Can you not link 2 of the outputs on the power plant?

I haven't tried it yet but I assumed that would also double the voltage and perhaps damage the pedal

in the case referred to (harley benton power plant junior) it doesnt change the volts, only the ma.   i believe.

Tried it, it works! Thanks everyone
