H & C with pedal board.

[derekb]

Hello,
This is probably best answered by Charlie but I'd appreciate any other advice.
I'm putting together a pedal board and would like to include my H & C on it. I have bought a Caline Power 5 unit to power the board which has(running from left to right), 1 output marked DC 18v IN, 7 outputs marked 100mA each, 1 output marked High Current 500m A, 1 marked DC12v outputs 100mA and 1 output marked DC18v outputs 100mA.
My query is would it be ok to power my from my H & C to one of the 7 outputs marked 100mA so that I can use the power supply in the Caline ?.and which of the outputs should I connect the mains unit to. Hope you can understand this!
Thanks,
Derek B

Hi Derek,
I think this question was raised some time ago. I'm afraid the H & C requires 12 volts AC. As far as I know, all the outputs of the Caline Power 5 are DC voltage.

Hi Derek,

A few months ago I was in the same boat as you.
I was building a pedal board for one of my HCSE.
The power supply was a real head breaker....the carline you want to use is one of a whole trainload of imitations of the powertank from T-rex...
The T-rex has a separated section with a 12V AC power but there's not enough mA to feed the HCSE!
There is just one power supply good enough but that one cost several hundred of GBP!
So I settled for a 1spot DC daisy chain power supply (up to 2100mA in total) and a newly bought AC/AC power supply for the HCSE.
I used a special flat power socket and could hide the complete power-line underneath the floorboard of the pedal-board/flight case.
