I decide to create a separate thread for this topic to avoid it being buried into a more general thread.
It’s a site with a very long list of pedals and the actual current draw. very useful when you’re designing and building a pedalboard, and when it’s time to choose a PSU !
yeah and it’s pretty easy to guess if a pedal draws a lot of current or not, if you have the schematics. most overdrive with a dual op-amp will draw less than 20 mA. the Big Muff draws way less because, if I remember, it only uses discrete transistors.
Hah I was just looking at it (stink foot) a few hours ago, it’s one of my current pet peeves that tc electronic lists pretty much all their pedals as being 100 mA. Inluding ones I bet are only like 12 mA, really the wiretap?
Darkglass vintage 30 mA
EHX 2020 Tuner 20 mA
Hotone wally plus Looper 40 mA
JPTR Jive mini 100 mA
Zoom ms-60b 140 mA
Source Audio EQ2 165 mA
Source Audio Spectrum 165 mA
Singular beat buddy 300 mA
Mooer radar 12v 300 mA
Radial Bassbone 15v 400 mA rvrs polarity
And a buncha tc pedals around 100 mA
that’s what I want ! I’m finally decided (for now ) to build a very small and minimal pedalboard with only 3 pedals.
by the way Harley Benton makes even smaller switching PSUs but I wanted the old school galvanic isolation. it’s better in theory, not sure it makes a difference in the real world.
Shipping would be terrible to here but it’s great to see they are making such good stuff for Thomann.
Ooh in other news, I wrote Musikdings and they will ship the Schalltechnik stuff to me for 28 Euros. Which isn’t so bad because they will also knock off the VAT. Tempting.
Did you post anywhere about this one, I don’t recall you getting it. Would like to see what it is all about. I was looking at some EBS pedals recently, couple really well priced ones on Offer Up and REverb (same seller), so would like to know how you like it.
