CURRENT CONSUMPTION TABLE

CURRENT CONSUMPTION TABLE
This is a list containing a number of pedals of different brands along with the basic
specifications for how to power them with a power supply. It definitely doesn't have all pedal
types existing but it grows when we get more information.
The figure for the current draw of a particular pedal is either the one stated by the
manufacturer in the pedal’s specifications (3rd column) or it is measured (4th column). The
two should be the same but in some cases they are not and then you should take the
measured one. If two figures are given separated by / in the same column the first figure is
the current draw in bypass mode and the second is when the pedal is activated.
The last column tells you what voltage the pedal needs. In case of BOSS pedals PSA means 9V
DC, ACA/PSA means 9 or 12V DC and ACA 12V means 12V DC. If nothing is stated 9V DC is
assumed.
The list has been updated on January 20th 2004.
