Question for owners of the Line 6 M9

[Jack_TriPpEr]

Also, i found this pic i had taken of when I measured the power draw of the M9 using the TrueTone mA Meter. Also note that I was powering the M9 via the CS12 unit's Power Tap #11, which per the pic in my last post, is a DC output type.

I must've read those same threads. My M9 has been easily powered by my One Spot (with the L6 adapter plug) for a few years.

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.

According to a post on TGP: At 9V DC Line6 M9 draws approx. 600mA, when powered with 12V DC it draws 480mA and at 15V DC the current is 430mA

The M9 doesn't actually use all that power. The power supply is rated that high, but the M9 actually uses much less.

I think that’s the trouble. There are differing reports of how much it draws. I’d be leery of overdrawing the joyo power supply.

This thing would answer your question.

It’s a lot when you’re a power supply with three “high-current” outputs of 500 mA each.

I know how much 2 amps is.
I was razzing you.

That's only 2 amps. Hardly all of it.

Holy freakin’ Jim-Bob! That’s not just a lot of current; that’s just about all of it.

[superpete]

i believe the power supply is the px2, which is 2000mA

[PFDarkside]

Try a current doubler on the two 500ma outputs.

[Little Pigbacon]

But that still doesn’t tell us how much current the M9 draws at 9 volts. I suspect it will be more than 500 mA.

[Mincer]

That should work fine. Line 6's polarity is reverse of everyone else's, so you might need a cable to reverse it.

[Little Pigbacon]

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