I use a DigiTech PDS 8000 Echo Plus 8 second delay and a Zoom 508
delay. While the DigiTech is great for some things, I prefer the
Zoom because I can set the delay time in exact milliseconds (it has
an LED readout). The DigiTech has knobs with no readout, so you
can't dial in the exact same delay time every time.
I had two 508's, but one of them went wonky after about a year for
no apparent reason. The other one has been going strong since the
mid '90's.
Speaking of stomp boxes, I just bought a Line 6 Tap Tremelo, and it
eats 9 volt batteries like crazy. Does anyone know if I can use a
power adapter with a higher milliAmp and wattage rating than what
the unit calls for? What I mean is, the unit specs call for 40 mADC
Minimum, 60mADC Nominal, and 100mADC Maximum - and on the watts -
0.4 Watts Min., 0.6 Watts Nominal, and 1 Watt Maximum.
If I use a power supply that puts out 9 Volts, 300mADC and 9 Watts,
will that damage the unit, or does the unit only pull the amounts
that it needs?
Sorry for my ignorance ... :>}
