Hi everyone,
My 'Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 +' won't turn on. I've tried using a different power cable and different mains and it still won't turn on (The LED doesn't come on either).
I've had this pedal for about 6 months and have been happy with it and got it primarily because of its great reviews so I'm a bit surprised it's not working. Unfortunately the warranty only covers North America and the manual says to contact your distributor. I'm going to contact the store I bought it from to discuss having it replaced/repaired etc.
What I want to know is are there reasons this may have happened?
The pedals I used it to power were:
-Joyo compressor
-Boss DS-2 (I literally just bought this second hand and used it 3 times with no problems).
-Ds-1
-Crybaby Wah
-Boss Ch-1
-Boss Tuner
-Digitech screaming blues
If the DS-2 had something wrong with it, could that have broken my power supply?
All of these are well within the mA limit so I am baffled. Could it just be a faulty supply?

Now I need to know why this happened...I would hate to get a refurbished/new one back only for it to happen again.
I always make sure all pedals are off before I unplug the power supply from the extension cable and then turn off at the mains (this is the correct procedure, right?)
Sorry to sound so 'herp derp' but I have a problem accepting that things can just go wrong, there always has to be a reason!

A friend bought a Wampler pedal from SG which when it went wrong they wanted nothing to do with as TW were the distributors of them also by then.
He threatened them with the Sale of Goods Act and got a replacement.
Voodoo Lab are handled by Westside (Boogie & Martin distributors) now IIRC.
Might be worth dropping them an e-mail.
I've only ever managed to kill a single outlet on a PP2 (the original, have yet to destroy a plus model!), not the whole unit. I doubt a single pedal could do all 8 outlets. Unless you daisy chained that single pedal into all of them...!

I did try a different kettle lead and it made no difference, as well as replacing the fuse in the original one.
Had a pleasant exchange of emails with the store, I'll be sending them the pedal for repairs.

I don't think I'd buy a spare power supply (for gigs) - I'd rather rely on a second amp (with 2 channels) or something going into the PA.
