I would call any pedal company who doesn't list the MV on there spec sheets, you need that info my man to purchase the correct power supply. Isolated power supplies like the CS12 are the way to go always.

Re: How many ma do pedals use?
When I upgraded from a 1 Spot to a CS6, I decided to get one of the TrueTone MA Meters for the heck of it. $20. Turns out, most pedals use a lot less power than you would expect. Fuzzes use 5ma or less. The biggest power hog on my smaller board is the EHX Canyon, which draws about 134ma.
