Voltage, polarity and power
Always make sure that any device you connect to this power supply requires the same
voltage and make note of the minimum amount of power it requires to function properly. If
an effects pedal requires a minimum of 500 mA, it can not be connected to an output of 100
mA, as this will cause the output to overload.
The outputs on the PBP-06 are all centre-negative, which means that the central conductor
of the cable's output plug is negative and the part you can see, the barrel, is positive. This is
also indicated per output on the pedal power supply unit itself, and a similar indication is
probably on the effects pedal as well.
The included adapter cable is a so-called 'polarity changer'. It can be used to change the
polarity to centre-positive should the pedal you wish to connect require it.
The polarity of a device is shown using the following diagrams:
Centre-positive
Centre-negative
Interference
It is possible to connect many different effects pedals to this device, which makes it difficult
to solve all possible interference issues with this user manual. Should you experience
unwanted interference, the cause is usually a ground loop. To find out where the
interference is coming from, it's recommended to alter the order of effects pedals in your
chain, replace cables, or remove certain pedals until you find the cause of the problem.
Power output
The power output on the PBP-06 is fed directly from the input and protected by the same
fuse. It can be used to connect a guitar amplifier or peripheral equipment that can not be
powered by one of the low-voltage outputs. This output may not exceed a maximum load of
6A.
The information in this user manual is subject to change at any time without notice.
