Can I power the Cortex Mini with CIOKS SOL Pedal Power Supply and CIOKS 8800 Flex Parallel Adapter?
If not what would be the alternative pedal power?
Thanks,
Pete
QC Mini is rated for 1.2A but users have reported that it typically uses around 1A.
When configured for 12V, the outputs on the Cioks SOL provide up to 500 mA each.
Paralleling with only one cable gets you 1A to send to your QC Mini. It may work but there is increased risk of burning out your power supply by running outputs at or near maximum.
I would recommend using two parallel adapter cables to parallel 3 outputs together for a combined 1.5A available. Less thermal stress on the power supply.
OR, you can parallel the two 12V outputs on the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power Plus 3 for a combined 2A.
OR, if you only need to power a QC and nothing else, you can get a filtered Mean Well 12V power supply for cheap:
These are center-pin-positive, so you would need a reverse-polarity adapter cable to switch to center-pin-negative for the QC:
