u182155 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hi There, Are you able to use another power supply for the POD HD500x. I want to mount it on my pedal board and currently use a BBE Supa-Charger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 You need a supply that has the same specs. 9V DC and the proper current rating. I can't remember if it's 2 or 3 amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edstar1960 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I got this spec from Line 6 support last year for the HD500 power supply ..... DC 9V 3 Amp or 3000 mA Probably best to double check with Line 6 support whether that spec matches the HD500X just in case..... unless someone else can chime in and confirm the spec for the HD500X power supply. As Charlie_Watt says - you must ensure it matches the spec otherwise at worst you will damage your HD500X and at best it may not operate correctly - it really is not worth the risk - get a matched supply.

MikeBs Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hi, I use a 9v DC Power Supply from Maplin. It works well if it is just the HD500x, but if you plug a JTV in via a VDI cable the extra power needed for the Guitar is too much and it cuts in and out.

davidb7170 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Quick notes -- Also ensure that the plug end of the replacement power cord physically fits your HD500X obviously, but if it sticks out too far, you'll be putting more mechanical stress on the socket leading towards a future failure. The most important thing to make sure of is that the polarity of the replacement 9V DC, 3A minimum power supply matches the unit. You will brick your unit if you reverse the polarity (the + or - to tip or sleeve). Just a head's up. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoman77 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Will the Powertrain 1250 work with the HD500X seems like it has like 1250ma's total that it can handle. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PT1250/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 No you need 3000mA. 3 amps! (that's a lot by the way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuleriaChk Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 How about a laptop battery power brick (using a polarity inverter and adapter) for gigs where there is no AC available. There are several for 9v 32,000 mha. I know this approach works for GT-001, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingSquirrel Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I had similar questions a while back. Here's what I found. http://line6.com/sup...e-1#entry156510 http://line6.com/sup...e-1#entry150788 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenbones Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I just got this one in the mail. It's rated at 2.5 amps but it still powers everything just fine and the barrel connector fits. For $10, it's well worth it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/9V-Line-6-POD-HD500X-Multi-effects-replacement-power-supply-/191995725662?hash=item2cb3d6475e:g:j64AAOSw4GVYQFKr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 $10 dollars for an unknown plug. $20 for the real one. What would you rather risk your $500 gear on. Is ruining a $1500 gig worth saving $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenbones Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Where did you find a power supply for $20? The ones i saw on Sweetwater were $40. I only bought the $10 supply as backup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Even at $40 - WTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
