Replace my DC-3h (europe) for my HX effects

Hi Line 6 team ! 

 

I have my HX effects for like 2 years and I play with it on all of my Pro Gigs (I'm a French Professional guitarist) 

 

This is a super versatile muti-effect, I love the ergonomy of this unit and the Stereo is insane ! 

 

So, today my Power Supply Line 6 DC-3h doesn't work anymore (RIP power supply :( ) and I can't find any dealers on France and europe to sell me the exact same model.. 

 

Where do I find this power supply ? Or can I switch with another brand with the same spec as the DC-3h power supply ? 

 

The trick is that I have a gig in 5 days so I must quickly find a solution for this bad situation ! 

 

Thanks for giving you one of the best multi-effect on the market ! 

 

Have a nice Day !

As you are in Europe, you could contact Thomman to ask if they can help.

There is also a discussion here that may give you a solution.

Hi ! 

 

I contacted Thomann, thanks ! 

 

Yes I looked at the topic, but this is an alternative for US people, not for EU.. 

 

I found this on the Thomann website : https://www.thomann.de/fr/line6_px1.htm?offid=1&affid=72 

But this is a 2000mA power supply and not a 3000mA like the HX. But the HX Effects really needs 3A to work correctly ?? It seems a lot for just a multi-effect ? 

Anyone can confirm that the HX effects can work with a 2000mA power Supply ?

Hi,

 

In that thread there are photos and a video which show the actual current draw for various units.

 

The result for your HX Effects was show to be:-  HX Effects: max. 1.1A = 1100mA

Also, it is like a Boss adapter plug with polarity: centre negative, outer positive, but it needs to fit a 2.5mm centre pin.

 

This may be an option as it has interchangeable polarity and a variety of pin sizes and switchable voltages with a max D.C. 1500mA.

This on  might help you out until you can buy a genuine replacement.

EDIT - IMPORTANT 

 

I FOUND THIS ONE ON AMAZON UK

Salut Lucas,

 

J'ai le même soucis que vous, DC3 hors service, avez vous trouvé une solution ? Merci d'avance.

bonjour Lucas et Craspek,

je suis à la recherche de l'adaptateur français du transfo. le miens fonctionne, on m'a juste cassé la pointe de la fiche. je serais donc intéressé pour racheter votre vieux transfo ou juste l'adaptateur fiche europe.

si non, @line6 team, avez vous une solution pour mon problème?

merci d'avance
