Can I power my replica delay with the PP2???

Replica's manual says it needs 300mA

PP2 manual reads that outputs 1-4 gives 60mA, so they are out of the question.

PP2 manual reads that outputs 5-6 gives 14.5/12V unregulated 50/200+mA

Anyone powering their Replica delay with the PP2???

14.5V / 12V (unregulated)http://voodoolab.com/images/spacer.gif
50mA / 200mA

I just started running my replica off a pp2 using the unregulated output. No issues yet.

does it sound ok???

I read somewhere that the repeats sound a little noisy

That's exactly the problem I had with this combination.

I tried it all and even asked T-Rex about this. They told me the replica didn't really need 300ma all the time, but it sounded really different with it's original powersupply.

I switched to th emore convenient Boss dd-3. The audience never noticed it.

The Replica draws a maximum of 120mA. I use mine with a Burkey Flatliner Six with a Y-cable to double the current, not the voltage.. Works like a charm, guessing the same works with the PP2.

Well, I do not purchase pedals on whether or not the audience will prefer one brand over the next. I buy the pedals that make me happy. Therefore I have a Replica, and I use a dedicated power supply for it. The Replica is hands down the finest stompbox delay out there. I could get into the benefits of why it is superior to the Boss units, but it would not be fair to the boss pedals. The Replica is simply out of their league.

I haven't noticed any distorted repeats. But I normally have a little hair on my clean tones.
