OK here's the question.

I've got a T-Rex Fuel Tank Classic powering my 9V DC pedals with no problem but I've two other pedals that, with some trick converters, might also be able to run off it but as I know naff all about volts and amps I though I'd better ask...

The pedals:

Digitech Whammy that needs 9v AC / 1.3A and my Fuel Tank has a 12v AC / 500mA output.

Electro Harmonix English Muff'n that needs 12v DC / 1 amp and it takes what looks like a 2 pin din connector. For this device the Fuel Tank has a 12v DC / 500mA output with a standard Boss type connector.

Does any one know of available converters that could handle these conversions and where to get them from...

Cheers

Both those pedals need a lot more power than your adaptor can supply - It'll probably trip out if you can find the right connectors (Maplins will have them)

thanks - thought that was the case so I've redesigned my board to accommodate a plug board on the underside...

There are multi voltage power supplies available so you can run it all from one source if you wanted to..

I don't think this one has the current (amps) you need though frown
