Frequently Asked Questions
It means the power outputs share a common ground, which *can* potentially introduce noise if some pedals are particularly sensitive or noisy – a true isolated power supply would eliminate this.
Probably not. The 200mA limit on most outputs is too low for power-hungry pedals like the Timeline, which often require 500mA or more.
Yes, it's a switchable voltage power supply, meaning it should work worldwide with the appropriate IEC power cable and voltage adjustment.
