magicjim69 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Just got a used POD 2 at an auction and it came without a power supply. I have a 1Spot which supposedly will handle 90% of existing pedals. Unfortunately, POD seems to fall in the bad 10%. Is the power supply for POD proprietary? Is there a way I can adapt the 1Spot to be used on the POD? The voltage and capacity are within listed limits. As I have no way to tell if the pedal even works, I don't want to keep spending money to check. If any one can offer a suggestion, I would be very grateful. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Well the specs for the Pod 2 PS is: Output: 9V AC, 2000mA, normally the lil stomp pedals are DC at ~ 2-300 mA. It is recommended to pickup a PS that meets the specs (or at least in the ballpark). -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicjim69 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Thanks. My POD says 1200 minimum and the 1Spot provides up to 1700 but it does not say if it is AC or DC. This could be my problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicjim69 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Thanks much. My POD says a minimum of 1200 and the 1Spot provides up to 1700 so that is within specs. It, however, doesn not specify whether it delivers AC or DV and the plug does not fit the POD, so that could be the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The 1 Spot is DC. You need AC. This is what you need: http://www.amazon.com/Line-6-PX-2-Power-Supply/dp/B0002PZEGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicjim69 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Thanks so much. I paid 20 bucks for the 1Spot and by the time I return it and pay shipping both way plus the gas to the shipping store, I may come out ahead tossing it into a drawer. Now I have to talk the wife into letting me order a second power supply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicjim69 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Problem solved. Called Musician's Friend and they feel responsible for selling me the wrong power supply and will send me the right one free. They even are letting me keep the old power supply. Not sure what I will use it for but you never know. Now I should have the right ps in a day or two and can start experimenting. Would never have known what to buy without your help. thank you.
