Power Supply

Post by Michael Glaviano » Wed Mar 29, 2006 7:12 pm

As I add to my MF array, I find myself awash in wall warts. I'd like a neater solution. Does anyone make a power supply that could drive 6 or more MF & CP devices?

Thanks,

Each cable can power 5 devices, but the website says you can daisy chain them to power over 20 devices from one power source. MF's take the red power adaptor.

Looks like you can get them below retail here:

Thanks so much for the links. Even though I am sure that other MF users are having simlar issues, I had nearly despaired of a response. I will check out these resources.

Boss makes a tuner(tu 2) that you can daisy chain up to five or six pedals on.

power supply

Post by klitink » Mon Apr 10, 2006 12:44 pm

i've tried a boss rpw7 power supply with my 4 mf's. but with 3 or 4 of them on the rpw7, i get a constant high-pitched tone as output.
using one mf, it's fine
using two mf's, slightly noticable high pitched tone,
using three or more, just increasing of that not-wanted-tone.

anyone familiar with this, or has a clue on why this happens.

there really should be a moog power-supply..

So, 6 years later.. I am currently using the Burkey Flatliner Pro. 9 Completely isolated outputs, 5x 9VDC, 1x 12VDC, 1x variable 3/9VDC, 1x variable 3/12VDC, all of them 200mA. And the last one is a 9/12VAC 1000mA. All outputs are tip-negative.

I power my MF101 (Lowpass), MF102 (Ringmod), MF103 (Phaser) & MF107 (Freqbox) using reverse-polarity adapters on each output, and no humming/ringing/noise issues occur. My problem is solved.
My MF104 however won't power up with the Flatliner. It works like a charm on an 300mA adapter, so it probably needs a bit more than the 200mA supplied. In another old thread (from 2009..) I've found a list of what each pedal draws, and the MF104SD strangely enough draws a max of 160mA.. they use the Voodoo Lab PP2+ to power the MF104 with an 250mA output. I guess that the BBchip needs a bit of extra current to power up? I'll try a parallel Y-cable on two outputs on the FlatlinerPro so it'll receive 400mA.

I've added the list for reference, creds go to latigid on:
MF101 (Lowpass) 40-50 mA
MF102 (Ringmod) 40-50 mA
MF103 (Phaser) 70-90 mA
MF104SD (Delay) 130-150 mA (long delay setting), 140-160 mA (short delay setting)
MF105 (Murf) 210 mA
MF105B (Bassmurf) 220 mA
MF107 (Freqbox) 100-130 mA
MF108M (Clusterflux) (300mA?)
CP-251 40-50 mA, but it wasn't processing anything.

Excuse me people, this has been discussed before, quite recently - in fact in the moogerfooger forum list, it's a topic not that far down on the list of posts from this one! To save re-inventing the wheel, why don't you check it out:

True. But I wasn't browsing the forum looking for answers, I just straight went to my old post years ago.
For all of y'all, the new thread:
