Hi,
I did measure the current draw on my Helix HX. Even with all blocks enabled , the max amperage I could read was around 1.1 A.
The DC3 says its providing 3 A. That may be necessary for other Helix devices but - so my guess - not for the HX.
I just ordered a PS (switch mode) from China. The benefit in that case ? Very small, so I can build a DIY PS that fits perfectly underneath the pedalboard.
Here the specs:
1.Input voltage: AC 85-250V(50/60Hz)
2.Output: DC 9V/1.5A
3.Output voltage accuracy: 9V±1%
4.Output ripple: 100mV
5.Load adjustment rate: ±3%
6.Voltage adjustment rate: ±1%
7.Efficiency: 84%
8.Switching frequency: 60K
9.Protection: Over current protection, over voltage protection, over temperature protection
10.Withstand voltage: 3000V
11.Size: L38mm * W25mm * H22mm
12.Weight: 27g
So?
Your thoughts?
Regards
Knut
