Does anyone have any insight on powering a HX Stomp from a pedalboard power supply?
I’m putting together a small pedal board with a HX Stomp on it. I’d like to have just one power lead to a Isolated supply that then powers all the pedals including the HX Stomp.
I boight this as the power supply thinking I could use a Y cable and a 2.1-2.5 adapter, to combine the two 9v 500Ma outputs to power the HX Stomp.
https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_2_pro.htmHowever reading the instructions it states states that using the Y cable combines the voltage of the two outputs, ie delivering 18v to the HX Stomp. Obviously I don’t want to risk sending 18v into a 9v device, I just want 9v at 1A.
Any thoughts on this? It doesn’t sound right that the actual voltage would combine.
Comments
Current doubler. While the voltage doubler puts two outputs in series to double (add together) the voltage, the current doubler instead puts the two outputs in parallel. That way, the voltage stays the same, while the available current doubles. So two 9vDC/100mA outputs will now combine into a single 9vDC/200mA output.
I’ve just powered mine with one 500ma output on a Truetone CS7. I emailed them before purchasing and they said it could do this fine.
1000mA at 9v?

It puts out enough mA to do it in theory but would the battery be drained in 10mins due to the power requirements
