Frequently Asked Questions
No, the 0.5A current limit means you’ll need to check individual pedal power requirements; running multiple hungry pedals could lead to instability.
It's a basic adapter; while it aims for 18V, slight voltage fluctuations are possible under varying USB power source conditions.
The description states it's compatible with 2.1-2.5mm barrel sizes, but always double-check your pedal's connector to be sure to avoid damage.
