USB Pedal Power

[AndyO]

Hi all
Any issue with running pedal power from the usb port? Thinking of getting a Tonex One pedal which requires 5V 260mA.

Thanks!

Power for USB Midi Controllers

I’m curious as to the amount of power that the USB port provides for external midi controllers. How does the power supplied by the USB port affect the power requirements of the Meta Module. Is the power for the USB port pulled from the 5V rail? I’m considering several different options for where I will mount the Meta Module (including the potentially a 4ms Pod) hence my question on power requirements. Thanks.

Thanks. I think it says in the docs somewhere it pulls power from the 12v rail. Should be good, will post results when I get the pedal

You won’t have any issues. The USB jack has 500ma available for current draw. Enjoy

Thanks Ross, good to know, looking forward to trying it out
