POWER SUPPLY

THE CARL MARTIN'S PRO POWER IS ADAPTED TO POWER THE M5?

I thought the Voodoo Lab had a power supply that would do Line6 models - but according to the manual

the "Voodoo Lab digital" will not power any of the HD500 / M9/ M13 gear

 

"Note that PODxt & HD, M9, M13 and the JM4 Looper cannot be powered by Pedal Power Digital."

Power Adapter: Specs: 9V, 2000mA, 2.5mm barrel diameter

 

Some folks are saying the actual draw is closer to 1400mA, but if it gets underpowered, it won't run properly, in terms of the lights and displays. Here is a thread from the archives:

Nope.  Won't work.  The 1200mA jacks on the Pedal Power AC don't have enough juice to consistently power the M13.  I actually found that out the hard way.  I was using that with my M13 for a while, and I was having weird anomolies with the LCDs.  Well it turned out the voltage was dropping because the M13 was drawing too much current off the 1200mA jack.  When I switched back to the Line 6 adapter, all was fine."

 

Apparently you can "mod" the Voodoo Lab to power the M13:

A side note, you can power the M9, just not the M13:

 

"The Pedal Power AC can power the M9 without modification from either of the 9V 1200mA outputs on the right side of the front panel.

The increased current draw of the M13 why it is unable to be powered by the Pedal Power AC."
