Berry_B Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Will a Strymon Ojai or R30 power supply handle both the HX stomp and HX effects using a couple of current doublers and 2.1 —> 2.5 adapters (without issue)? Is there a power supply anyone recommends? EDIT: Strymon Ojai R30 works perfect powering both. Also, I used 2 of these (one for each device) to avoid using the barrel adapter. They plug right into the current doubler cable and then into the device. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B016BJGZ2U?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title Also, I can use the adjustable 12 Volt port for my Tech 21 Fly Rig 5 if I were to ever need it for backup reasons.

Kevinlane Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 A tiny bit off topic ( I don't have the HX FX) but I am wanting to power the HX Stomp with a Strymon Zuma R300. I have the current doubling cable from Voodoo but their 2.1>2.5 adapter reverses polarity. I'm not sure if the polarity reversal will hurt the Stomp . . . ???

Reverse polarity won’t hurt the Stomp, but it won’t turn on with the wrong polarity. Use the Voodoo Lab Reverse Polarity cable between the doubler and the L6 adapter, and you’ll be good to go.

zolko60 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 What is the Hx Stomp power usage? Are there any specs published for Hx Stomp except weight and dimmensions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karis_shem Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I power my HX stomp with two outputs of the Ojai, so i guess the power usage is a bit under 1A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a bit over 1A, probably around 1.2A... It's just that the Strymon power supplies are able to provide more than the rated current at an individual jack as long as the sum of current being supplied to all jacks is less than the overall rating of the brick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berry_B Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Guess that means an R30 should work fine to power both units at the same time. Maybe someone will try it out before I get mine. Any other power supply suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilius Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yea im powering mine just fine with the R30 using two outputs in parallel (current doubling) and so far even with the DSP fully loaded its been absolutely fine. All other outputs are in use and yea, no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking at building a board with the stomp, hx effects and an overdrive pedal. The HX stomp uses a slightly larger centre pin than the normal size ones most pedals use. As i the purpose of my Stomp is to only ever live on a pedalboard i clipped the included PSU plug and soldered up to standard ends in parallel myself. I certainly couldn't find any premades for this purpose in these sizes so making one up is probably your only option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, thanks. I thought the 5 outs were isolated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 1 hour ago, Karis_shem said: Interesting, thanks. I thought the 5 outs were isolated. They are isolated, but they’re still sharing a common upstream power supply. Isolation just means there is physical electrical connection between the various jacks.

So today i tried to plug the stomp on one Ojai output only (the other 4 outputs being plugged to low demanding things). Apparently it works fine this way. Do you think it's fine phil_m ?

nooskah Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hi all, has anybody use Gigrig to power up their HX stomp? Im planning to use a distributor to power hx stomp (i.e. supplying 5A of current into my hx stomp). WIll it wreck my unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wezcaton Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Looking to power my HX stomp with one of the strymon power supplies? What are the procedures? Ive seen about clipping and re-soldering the wire to fit the power socket? (is this the only option or is there a special cable? What do i need to be careful of? Back of my stomp says 9VDC 3A, do i need 3A to power it? Ojai or zuma :/ This is the board im planning to power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berry_B Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 I’ve edited the original post because the Strymon R30 powers both boxes perfectly using a current doubler for each and the special cable from amazon that allows you to not have to use the barrel adapter. So glad it worked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wezcaton Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 What are the cables you needed? and can it be any of the strymon power supplies (oaji) or anything that delivers over 1000mA current Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berry_B Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 I listed the link in the original post edit. As for your power question, I will have to defer to someone with more expertise. All I can tell you is that both of these boxes combined will require well over 1000mA. I got the Strymon because it checked that box.

Jabstiks Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi @Berry_B is the the correct current doubler that you used? https://www.gak.co.uk/en/voodoo-labs-pedal-power-cable-21mm-barrel-current-doubler-plug-output-10cm/100985?gclid=CjwKCAjw3azoBRAXEiwA-_64OqLrTDJLbE1c6DNGJoJv7uC531nFzH2c5FIPrsavIcREvdSvuJB2-xoCotAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaleidoskope Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Would the Ojay power the HX stomp + Dunlop CryBaby +Shure GLDX16? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy91 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I bought the voodoo labs current doubler adaptor and the line 6 2.1 -2.5 adaptor which Is running out of my strymon zuma into the stomp and the stomp won’t turn on , is there something I’m doing wrong? My other pedals are working fine with the zuma I tried a true tone l6 adaptor which converts 2.1 to 2.5 and still no power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buji Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'm going to mention a custom power supply I got for my stomp-based mini board. I'm running a line6 G70 receiver, the stomp, and a boss VE-500 off off a tiny (2x4x1"). I got it from sweefootpedals dot com, and the guy there will build you pretty much whatever you want. I'm currently trying to figure out how I can get a slightly larger ps on my board so I can have him make me one with 2 external stomps on it for switching presets on the stomp.
