Powering the Providence Chrono Delay

[philrob1]

Hey guys,

I bought a DL4 from Japan Discoveries this week, and was informed that a PSU is not included in the package. What is the best way to power this? Can it be powered off the 5/6 output of a VoodooLab PP2+?

Thanks

I should be included I think... but perhaps because you bought from Japan?

I was told that the PSU was not included orginally with the pedal by the guys at JapanDiscoveries.

The DL4 can be powered thru the VL PP2+. It just needs to be in outlets #5 or #6 w/ the DIP switch set at normal. The mA requirements are between 175-250mA, hence the need to place in those outlets. It may need to be plugged in via the "red" power cable though.

This is excellent news, but does the Chrono not require 12volts?

Sorry, when I read your post, I had to do a double take. You listed the Providence Chrono as the thread, but you mentioned the DL4, which is Line6. If it is in fact a Providence Chrono Delay, that is the DLY-4.
So, the Providence DLY-4 requires 12V @ 500mA. With the power requirements, you will need to utilize the #5 and #6 outlets and sit the 2 DIP switches away from normal, placing the outlets to 12V. The tricky part is, you need to run a series "Y" cable from the 2 outlets to your DLY-4. A series cable will double your mA but not your voltage. Make sure the power cable is series NOT parallel. Parallel will double your voltage and maintain your mA's.
The #5 and #6 outlets are rated @ 250mA each, so w/ the series power cable, you can achieve the required 500mA to power your pedal.

Ah sorry! I meant the Chrono. Well, reading this: http://www.providence.jp/providence_e/manual/DLY-4_Manual_E.pdf , it states that the pedal only needs <110mA, so I can set the Dip switch away from normal on #6 and use that?

Then more power to you, just power it thru #5 or #6 w/ the DIP set away from normal. To bad it wasn't rated at 100mA, if it was, you could place it in any outlet from #1-4 as they are rated @ 100mA. Atleast you you have the manual, the page on their website stated it required 500mA. Enjoy it!

Yes I know! I was reading the Providence site, and it says one is needed to use a 12VDC 0.5mA adapter. Then reading that I was like, Woh! hang on lol!!
Ah well, at least I have saved £16 on an adapter
