Then again, if they daisy chained it with other pedals, it might explain the higher current, because you force the other pedals to the same potential. this would be for the old version, mine took only 4mA (no signal injected) with LED on. Is this useful ? probably not to the musician, but they can sell an extra adapter for each pedal! And for those who wrote that it consumes 180mA. So the verdict goes : IT IS NOT DAISY CHAIN COMPATIBLE.
you might fry the diode or even worse other opamps inside. If you daisy chain this with another microsynth pedal, or a pedal with the same circuitry, it should work (although there will allways be a slight DC difference in between the pedals), but if you daisy chain this with for example a BOSS pedal. This is also the reason why they provide a 9.6V PSU. This means that the input & output ground are 0.7VDC HIGHER than the power ground. the PS connector has a reversed polaristion diode ON THE GROUND instead of on the positive (like most circuits have). Anyway, the grounds of the 2 outputs are connected to each other, so thats OK (the external rings are isolated from the ground & body, you need to measure inside), BUT. but let's call it "design & engineering".
My first impression? This thing is way overpriced for the standard components i found inside (but that can be said about every pedal!!)! If you can copy the PCB & build your own with the same components, you're set with 50$. Since i'm an electronics engineer, i thought let's find out on the bench and see whats in the box. I found schematics of the old (late 70's) microsynth, where the single power is converted into +12V & -12V with a NE5554, but this does not apply to the new version, the design is COMPLETELY different. IS THIS TRUE?įirst of all, i have THE NEW bass microsynth (true bypass, 9V, white body). Got my bass microsynth just today and i read : "DAISY CHAIN WILL NOT WORK" in the manual.
