http://www.powerstream.com/surplus.htm Third item down Is What Ive Ordered. Would THis Safely Run My G10 From A Voodoolab Pp2?

 

Edit: No, it won't even work

Interesting find! Certainly inexpensive enough.

 

Although this may make the physical connections, there is no indication of any voltage reduction to stepdown/ reduce the voltage from a typical barrel type pedal power supply's 9v (or higher) to that of a typical USB port's voltage of 5v, (1Ah-2.4Ah). Moroever, the brief product description states : "Can plug into any 5VDC source having a 5.5x2.1mm barrel plug...."

 

If your power source has an adjustable power setting, reduce it's output voltage to as close to 5v as possible. Otherwise, you may overload the G10's base unit.

 

Post back if it works! Hope fully it will.

I'm hoping the difference isn't damaging, and I'm hoping that since the base draws only what it draws, it wouldn't draw more than that so I'm safe, right?.... RIGHT??

 

Lol

I think it will be okay. The PP2 has dip switches and two outputs that can adjust from 4v to 9v. I'm waiting on a board for my Helix and looking to affix my G10 to it as well

Arrived today. Doesn't work. Won't even charge my phone.
