M13 And Pedaltrain Powertrain 1250 Possible?

[rc2311]

Tried looking for useful specs.  Still unsure.

 

Bought the Powertrain 1250 for 4 of my other pedals and was wondering if the other selections on this power supply would match effortlessly with the M13.

 

Any info would be helpful. 

 

Thanks.

The M13 power supply is rated for 2000 mA. I don't see anything rated for that on the 1250.

in all likeliness without researching it... your powertrain option probably only provides DC power, and the M13 requires AC power...so they probably are not compatible.

feel free to research it and find out on your own, because i cannot confirm this.. but the difference between AC power and DC power is constantly missed when it comes to these.

To put a finer point on the earlier comment, the M13's power supply, the PX-2, is rated at 2000mA, and the M13 seems to consistently draw around 1300mA. The overall rating of the Powertrain is only 1250mA. More importantly, the M13 only runs on 9V AC power, not DC. So no dice on using this with the M13.

Thanks guys for the heads up.  Phil_m you're absolutely right on all points.  I guess I needed to scratch the gray matter more to brush up on my electronics 101 before posting.  It looks like a better option, after talking to some techs on this, that the Voodoo Lab Power Plus 2 would be the optimal choice.  It has a unique auxiliary AC outlet for this kind of application.  I will look into that further.  Thanks again.
