  • Page 3 VOODOO LAB PEDAL POWER User’s Manual Introduction The Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus is the finest power supply available for guitar effects. It’s eight 9V outputs will power any type of battery operated effect. Each output is completely isolated, short-circuit protected, highly filtered and regulated.
  • Page 4: System Unit Description

    Unpacking Your Voodoo Lab Pedal Power box should contain the following: Pedal Power 2 Plus system unit Warranty card AC power cord DC Power cables: 5.5x2.1mm right angle barrel connectors (6) 5.5x2.1mm straight barrel connectors (2) 5.5x2.5mm “red” barrel (1) 3.5mm mini plug (1)
  • Page 5 Power indicator. This LED indicates the Pedal Power system unit is operating. DC output jacks (8). Each output provides 9 volts of isolated, filtered and regulated DC power for your pedal effects. SAG controls. Next to output jacks 7 and 8 are controls to vary the voltage from 4V to 9V.
  • Page 6 3.5mm mini-plug, or a battery snap. Use the standard black barrel connector cables with Boss, Ibanez, Voodoo Lab, and most common pedals. If you have a pedal from another manufacturer which appears to use the same connector, you should verify that the polarity is “center negative” to prevent damage to the pedal.

    If you have a pedal which has no power jack at all, but it runs on a single 9V battery, you can still power it using your Voodoo Lab Pedal Power. Use the cable with the 9V battery snap on one end.
  • Page 8 TC Electronic Nova Pedals The Nova series pedals from TC Electronic, such as ND-1 Nova Delay and NM-1 Nova Modulator, should be powered from outputs 5 or 6 only. Set the corresponding switch away from NORMAL and use the black 5.5 x 2.1mm barrel cable. The exception is the NDR-1 Nova Drive, which requires higher current and can only be powered by combining both outputs 5 and 6 using a current doubling cable.
  • Page 9: Operation

    If you need additional cables they are available from your dealer or directly from Voodoo Lab. If you need cables of a different length, with reversed polarity, or with a special connector, contact us and we can provide them for you.
  • Page 10: Reversed Polarity

    Positive Ground Effects Almost all DC powered effects are negative ground. This means that the negative terminal of the battery or power supply is connected to audio ground. There are a few exceptions which are positive ground, such as some vintage germanium transistor designs and octavia-based circuits.
  • Page 11 A device which can be powered by a single 9V battery will require less than 70mA and can be powered by any output with the corre- sponding switch set to NORMAL. The only thing you can determine from the current rating of the supplied power adapter is that the effect will draw less than the specified value.
