The on-line manual for the Adrenalinn II states that you can use any PS that provides 7.5 to 10 volts DC, is rated at at least 500ma, & is center pin positive. The Godlyke provides 9 volts DC & is rated well above 500ma. I can't remember, it's either 1.6 or 1.7 amps. The provided red adapter takes care of the reverse polarity. I'm using the original Adrenalinn & the Godlyke works like a charm. The hardest part about using the Godlyke is tracking down the power ratings for the various boxes you want it to power. It might be printed on the equipment, in the manual, or on the company's website. It might even require an email to customer support. Sometimes the company throws you a curve by providing an AC power supply for a unit that actually operates on DC. This was the case with my Line6 DL-4 & ART X-15. Once you determine you can use 9v DC power, you need to know if the center pin is + or -. If center is positive, you need an adapter between the device & the Godlyke. The Godlyke comes with a good assortment & you can order extras if you need them. You will also want to know how many ma are REQUIRED to operate the device. You want the Godlyke to remove as many wall-warts as possible without starting to smell funny. If you have a lot of stuff that can be used with the Godlyke, you might want to maintain a data base that lists all of the power info & even put some color coded sticky labels on your equipment to indicate if an adapter is needed. I've already bought a 2nd Godlyke. The one in my rack powers my Oberheim Drummer, Adrenalinn, JKJ CV-5, & Roland GI-10. The one on the floor handles an assortment of Boss & Dano pedals as well as the X-15, DL-4, & a Roland PK-5. How many tons of wall-warts is that? :) John ===== John Tidwell __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/
