Ok... I'm trippin out now, I've been using the voodoo pedal power plus 2 for like 8 months now. Before buying and when I was doing my due diligence I could have sworn that it had two 500ma outputs, but now everything I'm seeing online either doesn't list it or says 250ma :confused: :confused: :confused:

My RC-500 (330ma) and HX one (400ma) both operate perfectly from those outputs with no discernable difference from a "full draw" :idk:

Yeah it would be interesting to measure what is the actual consumption of these pedals. Companies usually overstate the consumption by at least 15-20% just to be on the safe side.
It is possible that VL also underrated their 250mA taps for safety reasons.

They're definitely rated at 250mA which is why I steered away from VL. Otherwise I love their products.

That said, I've run my HXFX off my ISO5 along with several other higher draw pedals. Unfortunately the H90 did not like it which lead to this new one.

which just arrived today thanks to AJ and the fine folks at Sweetwater.
