Find out what they are and weep at the cost of the gig rig modules you will need to power it
I’ve been plagued for years with noise from crappy pedal power, decibel 11 etc power supplies, 0 noise now. Worth every penny.
Any advice from someone who dealt with this issue? Thanks.
People on the Internet are anecdotally saying it needs 2A to start up and then 1.2A when running. Line 6 say as little as possible other than "use the DC-3G".
I run mine through a Strymon with some adapters, of which I have a spare if anyone needs it
Something worth knowing for GigRig accessory users (or thinking about it)... The Distributor is not isolated but works well for low-draw analogue pedals. The Isolator is isolated but each output has a low-amp limit that is not enough to start up a Line 6 M5. That limitation didn't use to be documented, but I believe it now is. They suggested I bought a Timelord just to run the M5. I just stuck with the Line 6 wall wart. I do have a Diago 3A brick which used to run all my pedals (except for the M5). I've been too lazy to see if it can run the HX FX.
Good luck and let us know what happens!
Ive owner two that exhibited this. I now run through a Strymon Ojai with the adapter
My only problem with the GigRig stuff was a poor connection inside the Distributor coz I didn't connect it right.
I'm interested in your success, because I'm thinking of putting the Diago PSU back and using that and maybe the Distributor (it fits under the board nicely, the Line 6 PSU doesn't, and I might be putting another low draw 9v pedal back on ).
I’ve ordered another one to test it. They’re only £4 delivered.

"This RockBoard Power Ace Barrel Plug Converter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm to 2.5 x 5.5 mm Barrel is a power supply adapter that accomodates FX units such as Line 6 modeling pedals"
There's an inference there that it will work. Clearly, switching polarity without saying so is naughty, and yes - it could have fried a pedal if it didn't have some protection built in.
