Hi! Quick noob AC/DC voltage electronics question incoming:
The magical mini amp Blackstar Fly 3 (2x3") takes 6.5V PSU or 6 x 1.2V AA batteries (= 7.2V)
My AAs are eneloops, rated 1.2V, min 1900mAh
My eneloop Pedal Juice produces 9V 2A (total). Can it power this amp without flames or regrets further down the road?
Haven't tried connecting the Pedal Juice to the Fly yet as the connector pin/type doesn't match - but can find one that does and would prefer it to AAs for this unit.
Did find a 9v wall wart with a matching connector, plugged it in for 15 minutes, without any smoke or tone issues.
I've emailed Blackstar some weeks ago without any response so far...you guys are usually quicker anyway
FWIW: This Tom Quayle review in Guitar Interactive Magazine convinced me to try the Fly 3. It costs about the same as the also great ID:Core 10 (2x6") but the Fly's size/sound ratio was just perfect for my usage.
