Introduction Pedal Power ISO-5 is an isolated power supply for powering guitar pedal effects and accessories. Its compact design is perfect for smaller pedalboards, rack shelves, or even as an additional power supply for larger boards. Pedal Power ISO-5 features five independent, filtered and regulated output sections, which will keep even the most sensitive vintage and boutique analog pedals dead quiet.
Connections Pedal Power ISO-5 is powered directly from mains using the supplied AC line cord. This is a standard computer-type IEC line cord, so it’s easy to obtain a replacement or different length. Important: Pedal Power ISO-5 is manufactured to operate from a specific supply voltage (100V, 120V or 240V) which is marked on the bottom of the unit. Attempting to operate at the wrong voltage without the correct step-down transformer may cause permanent damage. 1) 9V outputs (3).
Note: The 9V and 12V high-current outputs are not isolated from each other (their negative terminals are common). It is preferred to use only one. If using both, combined output should not exceed 300mA. 4) 18V output. Use for 18V pedals which operate from two 9V batteries or require less than 100mA. Do not power 9V effects at 18V unless recommended by the manufacturer. DC Power Cables The Pedal Power end of each supplied DC power cable has a black barrel connector.
Line 6 Modeling Pedals Line 6 Tone Core pedals and Pocket POD can be powered from any available 9V output using a standard black 5.5x2.1mm barrel cable. You can power Line 6 modeling pedals, like DL4 or MM4, using the 12V highcurrent output with the red 5.5x2.5mm barrel cable. Note that PODxt, M13 and JM4 looper cannot be powered by the Pedal Power ISO-5.
Isolation Pedal Power ISO-5 has has five isolated output sections. This is sometimes referred to as “galvanic isolation” and means that there is no direct electrical connection between each output. Similarly, when you power your effects with batteries, they are also isolated because there is no electrical connection between the batteries. Most power supplies are not isolated. Their output jacks are simply bussed together or use a daisy chain cable.
