Does anyone know if there is any such thing as a single power supply for Elektron gear that can power multiple Elektron devices - esp. given the alignment in power across many devices now.
So speaking purely of the theoretical side of the electronics. If you had a 12v supply that could put out enough amperage, you should be able to hook as many 12v devices to it as you want. The standard elektron supplies are 12v 2A. If you could find a 12v 6A power supply, it should theoretically be able to power three devices at once.
A typical guitar pedal is between 9v 80mah and on the high end 600mah draw - the elektron psu is 12v with 2amp or 2,000mah.
I don’t know the specific draw of the elektron devices, but you need something to sufficiently deliver power to more than one. It’s a relatively heavy load compared to guitar pedals.
also make sure if you get a different power supply, that the polarity is center positive. Anything for guitar pedals is likely to be center negative.
I just looked at some “power supply” bricks like you’re interested in, and while I’m not saying they don’t exist - I could not find one that supported more than 500mah per outlet, even the expensive ones or the ones with sufficient overall supply voltage and amperage don’t seem to supply enough per outlet to sufficiently power any elektron device I’m aware of, maybe you could use it for volca devices I don’t know the specifics of every volca, I only have a volca beats so thats why I’m using that as an example.
You would need something along the lines of a laptop power supply, at 12 volts, with say 4400mah and a daisy chain end adapter to split the power - if you find out the specific draw of the elektron devices you are using (for example if it requires less than the factory power supply actually provides) then you could reduce the overall amperage of the power supply you use but electronics either don’t work correctly or don’t work at all if you choke them too much.
Thanks - I likely know enough about power and electronics to be able to build one myself
I was wondering if anyone else had used or spotted something already online … as I know people have had a lot of success finding things like portable power for Digis etc.
I’ll start looking at Alibaba etc. to see if something compatible might be out there already.
if you’re linking power supplies for guitar pedals as an example of what you want, you should be careful about the deficit between practical knowledge and knowledge in practice.
