For all of you wondering or guessing what the actual current draw is of the different new Line 6 product is I have attached a few pictures showing the actual measurement of 4 different setups.
POD HD500X: max. 1.1A = 1100mA
POD HD500X + FBV3: max. 1.3A = 1300mA
Firehawk FX: max. 0.8A = 800mA
HX Effects: max. 1.1A = 1100mA
I'm waiting to get my hands on the HD Stomp to also be able to publish the actual measured current draw of that unit.
All the above can be safely and correctly powered of two outlets of the new CIOKS DC7 power supply where each outlet has a rating of 660mA at 9V DC. Using two outlets in a parallel configuration gives you a 1320mA or 1.3A source at 9V DC which is sufficient. To get the plug polarity and size right you should use the #8800 Parallel adapter Flex followed by the yellow #3050 Flex cable with a 5.5/2.5 centre negative DC plug. When two of DC7's outlets are used to power one of the above the Line 6 units you still have 5 isolated outlets for pedals left each with a 660mA current rating plus a 5V USB outlet at 1A and a 24V auxiliary outlet to expand the DC7 with CIOKS 4 or CIOKS 8 to add more isolated outlets if desired.

Is that the same thing as the new Eventide PowerMax? It certainly looks the same!
I only wish it had a C6 instead of C14 plug, just that I already have three Cioks power supplies and lots of C5 cords. Would there be any risk in leaving a C13 to C6 adapter plugged in at all times?
