Re: [Harp-L] Power Supply

[Mike Best <mike.best@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Richard. It's actually not the AC voltage that's the problem, plenty of power supplies have an AC supply or two as well as all the DC supplies for standard pedals. But none of them can handle the huge 1300mA current draw

I totally agree that the Digi replaces a whole range of pedals, especially with your patches which I've got. But I also use a Holmes Harp Commander and a wireless transmitter, hence why I would like to tidy everything up

Oh well, the search continues....
