    I should know the answer but just can't remember for the life of me...

    I scored this great Dumble type tone pedal for a great price that's niw out of production, a Wiz Pedal Mini D. I love the smoothness and definition that I hear on videos when I was searching for info on it when it came up for sale a few weeks ago, but it didn't come with a power supply. I do have a Cioks 10 power supply but for the life of me can't find the y-cable to get me the 18V the pedal wants. I'm just going to get an 18V power supply but don't know how many mA that it will work with or the rule that informs if you can use less amperage or more before you smoke it. I've seen a photo on eBay of an 800mA unit but want to make sure.

    Anybody? Thanks! :mates:

    here's some help

    Q - What is the difference running the WIZ-PEDAL with 18V instead of 9V?
    A -Basically with 18V you get more dynamic range and the sound will be less compressed.
    -The output level will be higher (adjust level accordingly)
    -The perceived gain will be lower.
    My personal taste is 9V for single coils, 18V for humbuckers.... but yours might be different.
    -See YouTube demo above
    I highly recommend everybody to try both 9V and 18V

    I tried the power supply link in that thread and it took me to some spam trying to get me to clik
    shit telling me my phone was infested. so I closed that page..

    So you could try a 9v first. as far as output typical is between 250 to 500 Milli-amp for most pedals. I'd try a 9v 250 like a OneSpot or whatever multiple pedal power supply you have handy
    just remember to use the correct polarity or there may be smoke. Too low mA will cause the pedal not to work, too high shouldn't damage it as the device will draw the amount of power it needs.

    guess this might be the PSU you saw

    the ad says it was tested with that power supply and worked fine.. just don't like the fact the
    power supply doesn't show the polarity, so make sure you put a meter on it before you use it, if you go down that particular brand.
