Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, this is the first place to look!
Why is the LED on my Boss pedal so dim?
Check to see if your Boss pedal is supposed to operate with
an ACA type adapter. It will say this either on a sticker near
the power jack, or on the bottom plate. You need to operate this
pedal at a higher voltage by setting the appropriate Voltage
Selector DIP Switch on the bottom of the Pedal Power to the
"OFF" position. See the section above "Boss Pedals".
Can the Pedal Power fit in a rack?
The height of the Pedal Power was intentionally kept to 1-3/4
inches so that it can fit in one rack space.
What if my pedal uses reversed polarity (positive ground)?
Because the Pedal Power has each of its DC outputs isolated,
it doesn't matter whether your pedals are negative or positive
ground. What does matter is that the power jack has the cor-
rect polarity. The barrel connectors provided are for center
negative and the 3.5mm mini plugs are for tip positive. If your
pedal is different from this, contact Voodoo Lab to obtain the
correct cable.
Doesn't my pedal need a 300mA power supply?
Not if it runs on a standard 9V battery. The adapter available
from the pedal's manufacturer may be able to supply up to
200 or 300mA, but pedal effects which will run on a battery
will not draw more than about 65mA.
