The Burkey Flatliner PRO is a powersupply which offers 9 discrete isolated outputs. The outputs may vary between 3 to 24 volt DC and 1 output varies between 9 to 12 volt AC. (DC=direct current, AC=alternating current).
What does this mean for a guitarplayer? The Burkey Flatliner PRO can cover all circumstances: - 9VDC. Most pedals need this current. (9 volts battery) - Some older digital Boss pedals need 12VDC. - Fulltone ´69 and Octafuzz do have reversed polarity (optional cable needed) - Line 6 POD: 9VAC - Tube driven pedals very often need 12VAC - Line6 DM4 and DL4: 12VDC - Maxon reissue pedals: 9-10VDC - T-Rex Mudhoney: 9-12VDC - Fulltone OCD and Fat-Boost 9-18VDC (optional cable needed) - 'Sag' option to get a lower voltage. This way you create the effect of a dying battery. Your fuzz or Tubescreamer are gonna sound different!
The shielding is well done. Put your powersupply close to your wah and you won't notice hum!
Volt: Because the outputs are isolated you can, by using the optional serial Y-cable, combine 2x 9V outputs to get 18 volts or even 2x 12V=24 volt. This way you get more headroom/dynamics. The pedal must be designed for this or being over-engineered! Warning: don't try this with non-isolated powersupplies because your powersupply and/or the pedal could be damaged.
Milliampere: The current is measured in milliampere (mA). Each output can handle 200 mA maximum. Technically you can ad as many splitted powercables as you want till you reach the point of 200 mA. Indication: Boss Bluesdriver 13 mA, Peterson Strobostomp 80 mA, Boss FC-200 200 mA.
By using the optional parallel Y-cable you can combine 2 outputs to get 400 mA when needed
