A question about powering pedals with a Dunlop Brick and a Boss NS-2

[wickenspoet]

Right now, I have a Dunlop DC Brick that powers 7 of my pedals. One of my pedals is a Boss NS-2 (which can also power up to 5 pedals, I believe)

My question is this... Will it hurt anything if I plug my Boss NS-2 and 6 other pedals into the DC Brick, then use the plugged in NS-2 to power maybe 2 or 3 additional pedals? Will there be any problems?

I hope my question makes sense.

I have another question, but I'll hold off for a second before asking.

In the meantime, here's the pedals I'm using:

Korg DT-10 tuner
Boss NS-2
T-Rex Mudhoney
Morley George Lynch Dragon Wah
G2D Custom Overdrive
Zoom Hyper Lead
Zoom Power Drive
Seymour Duncan Shape Shifter
Boss DD-20

Powered by the 7 DC Brick inputs and the Boss NS-2.

...maybe replacing the Zoom Hyper Lead with an AMT California Sound Pedal.

Just make sure you have some mA headroom on the supply.

Thanks for the help. Does anyone know how much headroom the Dunlop Brick has? All of my pedals are 9 volt.

No, it won't be a problem. The Brick supplies 100 ma per output. I think the Boss PSA-2 power supply only supplies 100ma as well, and the NS-2 is intended to power all the other Boss pedals with that output.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the Dunlop Brick can handle your power requirements, I pretty much do the same.

Thanks for the help. Does anyone know how much headroom the Dunlop Brick has? All of my pedals are 9 volt.

"Seven 9V outputs can handle an average of 55 milliamps each, or a total of 375 milliamps in any configuration Three 18V outputs can handle an average of 208 milliamps each, or a total of 625 milliamps in any configuration All outputs may be used simultaneously for a total power output of up to 1000 milliamp"

If you use all seven 9V outputs, then you shouldn't exceed 55mA per.
