Hi guys,
Not sure if this is in the right section or not, please let me know where to put it if not.
Firstly, I'm running the list below of fx powered by a VL Iso5
TC Polytune mini
Boss NS2
Dunlop VP1 volume pedal
Carl Martin Single Channel AC Tone
Carl Martin Simgle Channel Plexi Tone
TC Spark Boost mini
Strymon Timeline.
The timeline is powered through the 9v 300ma outlet, the 2 CM pedals have dedicated outputs each and draw max 62ma, the 3rd 9v outlet is powering the NS2 and Spark mini equalling approx 75ma I think.
I'd like to power the TC polytune from one of these outlets daisy chaining it with one or more of the other pedals and it's current draw is 40ma.
If I attach this to either one of the 3 9v outlets it will take me over the 100ma output per outlet.
My question is this, if a pedal is disengaged, does it still draw current?
If not, then surely I could run it in either 9v outlet and providing i turn off other pedals powered by that outlet before engaging the tuner, it would be unaffected by current draw?
Or would it being only 2ma over the stated output not actually make any difference.
Polytune is arriving tomorrow so can't physically try it!
Ps I don't want to buy another power supply or run a wall wart style plug psu, I want it all running off the VL iso5 unless it really won't happen!
PPS running a polytune mini as space is very tight, otherwise a boss tu2 would be fine as the current draw is much lower!
Please help!
