Frequently Asked Questions
The 200mA output on some voltages might struggle with high-draw vintage fuzz pedals; check your pedal's power requirements carefully.
The dual-stage filtering helps, but as it’s not fully isolated, you might still experience some ground loop hum depending on your setup and environment.
It uses a standard barrel connector, but the AC plug type varies by region; you'll likely need an adapter for international use.
