EGNATER LOOP GADGET - Power Requirements

[rlord1974]

So I know the Egnater Loop Gadget takes 18V DC, but what is the minimum mA requirements?

Thanks!

Just lookin at mine for ya.........18VDC at 200mA minimum. "a lower voltage adapter will function but will reduce headroom. 18VDC is the ideal voltage".

`what he said lol

I actually heard back from Bruce directly on this and figured I would share with the community.

The Loop Gadget takes 18VDC @ 40 mA.

However, any power supply rated at 100 mA or greater and coming in somewhere between +15VDC and +20VDC will work fine.

It has to be > 100mA, so I think you meant to type 400 mA, didn't you? BTW - The power transformer that came with mine is rated at 18VDC @ 300mA.

The PT that came with mine was 18VDC @ 200mA. I tried powering it with my ISO-5 on the 18v out but it is only rated at 100mA and it shut off after a few minutes. Although it seems to be fine on the 12V 300mA slot. If it is only pulling 40mA then the first slot should have worked. I'll have to check that again.

The gadget did resolve the occasional clipping I was getting with the Timefactor and Space pedals (even though they support line level).

Nope. 40 mA. Bruce says the power draw is super low - largely just to backlight the knobs.

Marco, it should work on the 18VDC jack of the Voodoo Lab ISO-5 [It would be great if you could try it again and post the results..... .....I am currently planning on getting the ISO-5 for exactly this purpose, and it would be great to know if it's not going to work..... ]

OK, tested it again and it does work on the 18VDC jack of the Voodoo Lab ISO-5. I must have had another issue the first time I tried it or I was just tripp'n.

Thanks, Marco!
