What is the output rating (in mA) of the power supply for your M9?

Mine's at the studio so I don't know. Mine is powered by a One Spot, though. No other pedals sharing the power- don't need anything else.Dave, Ambassador/Writer/Artist for Seymour Duncan

My One Spot is rated to 1,700 mA. That’s a lot of room to exceed the 500 mA capacity of this:

That should work fine. Line 6's polarity is reverse of everyone else's, so you might need a cable to reverse it.Dave, Ambassador/Writer/Artist for Seymour Duncan

i believe the power supply is the px2, which is 2000mAQuality riffs in about a minute...

The M9 doesn't actually use all that power. The power supply is rated that high, but the M9 actually uses much less.Dave, Ambassador/Writer/Artist for Seymour Duncan

This thing would answer your question.

I owned an M9 for a couple years, up to Year 2020. I also own a Truetone mA Meter. I used the mA Meter to measure the power draw of the M9. Power draw of the M9 was 575 milliamps.
While the power adaptor that comes stock with the Line 6 M9 is an AC output type, I found a couple sources indicating that the M9 can be powered by a more typical, DC output power adaptor. The first is a thread on the Line 6 Community Support Forum where someone says this is possible because the M9 has a AC to DC rectifier in line right after the power input jack. Here's the link to that thread: https://line6.com/support/topic/2659...ents-ac-vs-dc/
The 2nd source indicating this is the owner's manual for my TrueTone CS12 isolated power supply unit. See attached pic of Pages 3 and 4. Page 4 has a note saying that the M9 can be powered by CS12 power taps #10 and #11. The diagram of those Power Taps on the prior page labels those power taps as DC type.
I did in fact successfully power my M9 via DC power tap on the CS12 for awhile. I decided to sell the M9 last year.1 PhotoLast edited by Jack_TriPpEr; 01-26-2021, 09:14 AM.Sanford: "The hardest part about tone chasing is losing the expectations associated with the hardware."
