Want to know what the current draw is for a particular EHX pedal? This will be a good place to ask. We’ll check the thread and find answers as often as we can. 

Someone recently asked about the Flanger Hoax, so we’ll start with that: 75 mA from an 18 VDC power supply.

How about the Double Muff and The Stereo Pulsar? Thank you!

Double Muff: 3 mA
Stereo Pulsar: 17 mA

The Metal Muff w/ Top Boost: 24 mA.

Most big muffs are between 1.5-6mA, depending if they have an LED.
I have a small list I have started to compile so I’ll find it and post the muffs I have measured so far.

Big Muff Pi w/ Tone Wicker = 5 mA

This sounds right to me.

I live in Japan and will be going to the USA soon.  Plan to purchase a HOG there (very expensive here in Japan) and bring it back here.  My question is: do I need a different power supply for the HOG to work in Japan?  Can the HOG run off of a Pedal Power (Japanese version)?  Thanks for your help.

Can you tell me which power adapter to use for a Memory Boy ..The original i believe has shot craps i know it is 45ma 9vdc ..But the closes EHX power supply i seen is 55ma 9vdc will this one work?

I run my HOG off a Pedal Power 2+. . . but I don’t think an original Pedal Power will run it, because the original Pedal Power doesn’t have the high current 5/6 outs like the PP2+ does.  Japan vs US shouldn’t make a difference, because the outputs will still put out the right voltage.

I don’t know about the Pedal Power but the HOG needs about 250mA at 9VDC. The HOG’s US AC Adapter will probably work ok in Japan but you would be better off buying the Japanese version of that AC Adapter or using another power supply.

The polarity of the HOG’s power jack is center positive.

Here’s a link:

Or you can use a 1 Spot.

Flick thanks for the reply you cleared things up for me reading through another thread were you said a 55MA could be used thanks again

I’m new on here, but absolutely love EHX pedals, at least the ones i’ve got so far. could you tell me what the current draw is for these pedals, please>
holy grail NANO
bassballs NANO
the mole NANO
bass big muff pi
cathedral
linear power booster (also, if LPB-1 is used with a bass, will i lose some bass frequencies, or good to go??)

thanks in advance

XO GRAPHIC FUZZ?

Thanks!

holy grail NANO       ~103mA
bassballs NANO       ~3mA
the mole NANO         ~1mA
