Daisy Chaining Pedals
I need some advice please!!!
I bought a BossTU2 Tuner and the parallel daisy chain chord that allows you to power a few other pedals. I also ordered a Tech 21 Boost DLA with tap. My setup will be: TU2 -> Ibanez Fat Cat -> Boost DLA -> Boss DD3 delay -> amp If I power these pedals using the daisy chain, should I be concerned about the current levels that are supplied? Will all current levels be within spec? The manual for the Boost Delay: * Utilizes standard 9V alkaline battery (not included). NOTE: Input jack activates battery. To conserve energy, unplug when not in use. Power Consumption: approx. 50mA, for battery life of approximately 10 hours. * USE DC POWER SUPPLY ONLY! Failure to do so may damage the unit and void warranty. DC Power Supply Specifications: -9V DC regulated or unregulated, 100mA minimum; -2.1mm female plug, center negative (-). Optional factory power supply is available: Tech 21 Model # DC2. I would really appreciate any advice you could give me! |

The specs list the current draw for the TU2 as 55 mA (Max.). There are no specs for powering other pedals. I tried to go to the Boss knowledge base, but I had to create an account with my email address (surprise). I signed up, but they send an activation email which was forwarded to my work email account lol. I can't view my work email from here. The Ibanez Fat Cat works fine daisy chained, but the DLA is a little bit pricey. I really don't want to kill it with too much current. |

If your daisy-chain power supply is even half-decent, i can't see it being a problem with four pedals.
