Yep, packin' it up.

Thanks guys!

Ship a Microturd with that Microverb.

Power supply is prob fine dude. In tolerance.

I'm probably wrong but I was thinking that because the unit requires a 830ma power supply and the power supply he was using only delivered 750ma that it could be the issue. I recently purchased a perfectly good working boomerang looper that was "broken" for $76. I was on the boomerang website to buy another power supply because I only have one and I was reading this.


Voltage rating of a power supply
Stated in V (volts), this is the critical number. Running a 9V device on an 18V power supply will make it run hot and cause damage. A 9V device won't run on a 6V power supply.

Amperage rating of a power supply
Stated in mA (milliamperes), this is the current rating and represents a maximum capability. Unlike the voltage, it is not a constant value. The power supply will deliver only what the device asks for. If a pedal wants 600mA and the supply can provide only 300mA, then it won't work though no damage will occur. On the other hand a pedal needing 400mA will work OK with a 750mA supply.

Hmm, I didn't know the current draw of the Microverb - its not in the manual or printed on the rack unit itself...

On that note, a lot of gear is listed at a higher current draw than it needs (sometimes many fold). Its definitely possible that the Microverb did actually need more than 750ma, but that is a lot of current. Not sure if this is accurate, but I've heard that not providing enough current can damage gear too.?.

Either way, the Microverb is on the way back to GC.
