Mastermind PBC and Voodoolab Cable?

[soleux]

Hi I just purchased a Mastermind PBC, I have a Voodoolab Mondo, I will use the 9V 400mA slot.
So, should I use the 2.5mm Reverse Polarity (Center Positive) Barrel Cable (Red Cable)from Voodoolab or the regular 2.1mm Standard Polarity (Center Negative) Barrel Cable(black cable)?

also do you recommend using the 9V or 12V slot better?

Thanks a lot for your help

The 12V slot is better because the PBC draws less current at 12 volts than at 9 volts. The black cable is the better choice of the two - it fits the PBC's connector better. But the red one does work, it just doesn't fit as tightly.

Thank You!!

On this same subject, I was going to pickup a strymon zuma power pedal, it puts out 500ma at 9vdc and 375ma at 12vdc, which would be better to use for the pbc?

I haven't tried the Zuma yet, but considering those numbers, 9V/500mA matches the PBC's requirements a little better.

Hi Ron,

Is it possible to use a 9V 800 mA AC of a truetone one spot pro, without damage?

Thanks!

We don't recommend AC power for the PBC.

Ok many thanks!

So, Can we use the Strymon Zuma to power the PBC?

Yep! The Zuma works great, just use the normal 9V 500ma slot.
