Anyone know what type of adapter Lovetone pedals use... I think it's a mini plug type connector but is it 9 VDC -ve tip?

Also, you can use up to - I think 12 v regulated - but not the 13 or whatever v unregulated Boss type or Pedal Power option.

Yikes, you mean i shouldn't be using my voodoo labs pedal power with my doppelganger like i've been doing for the last three months??
leave it to me not to read the damn owners manual, although i have to tell you that it "seems" to work fine.
Please let me know asap cause i love that pedal and now i'm afraid to use it with that power source.
thanks.

I'm sorry, I just didn't say that clearly. You can use a Pedal Power. You just can't use the unregulated setting (same as most pedals).

i've been using both a 9 volt supply but it seems like the 12 volt is much quieter. says in the instructions that 12 volts provides better headroom. does the unregulated make it noisy? there's a lot of background white noise when i use the 9 volt.

I asked Vlad at Lovetone about all this. He said 12 volt regulated would give better headroom, but that anything unregulated or anything above 12 volts could fry the circuit board and that Lovetone would cancel the warranty. So the 9 volt setting on a Pedal Power is fine, but the other setting is living dangerously.

I didn't think the 12v setting on the Pedal Power was unregulated...

If Lovetone is producing a high end effects device like that, and not including built-in voltage regulation, than they are bone heads. Voltage regulation consists of a regulator chip and a cap and maybe a resistor. Probably less than a dollar worth of parts. It provides consistent performance and eleminates the chance of frying a circuit due to over voltage.

wow, I'm lost here.
I just opened and read the manual for my pedal power and i don't see anything in there about 12 volt. it does mention the dip switches operate at a higher voltage but it doesn't say what that voltage is (I'll assume because of what has been said((dbx)) that it is 12 volts, although I think it's 13.2 volts) and then what about all this regulated/unregulated stuff how do you set and/or adjust that?? can you? confusion.

Charlie, I can't technically answer your question. But what I can tell you is that I've spoken with the folks at Voodoo Lab
many, many times. They are among the most helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly people I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

thanks. will do
