Output Configuration
The Hot Stone Deluxe has 8 isolated outputs. All outputs are standard barrel type connectors
wired “center negative”, which means the outside barrel is +V. This is the standard wiring for
most guitar effect pedals. However, there are exceptions. Always check the label on the pedal
before connecting, and use a polarity reversal cable if needed (see DC Cables section).
Outputs 1 and 2
are each configured with separate outlets for 9V and 12V. The 9 & 12V outlets
are both fed from the same transformer winding and can supply a combined maximum output
current of 400mA. They can be used individually or simultaneously as long as the combined
current draw does not exceed 400mA.
Outputs 3 and 4
each provide up to 100mA of current at 9V. These outputs will run just about
any battery operated 9V pedal.
Outputs 5 and 6
each provide up to 200mA of current at either 9V or 12V. Use the switches
SW1 and SW2 on the rear panel to select the desired voltages.
Outputs 7 and 8
each provide up to 100mA. The output voltage for each is variable using the
control knob below the respective outlet 3 . Voltage is adjustable from 9V (fully clockwise) down
to about 5V (fully counter-clockwise). This can be used to simulate a used carbon battery, giving
transistor fuzz pedals a unique “brown” sound. The effect is not typically useful on effects which
utilize opamps in the circuitry. The voltage control is not intended to be a calibrated control. The
typical response when rotating the knob counter-clockwise will begin as a very gradual voltage
drop, increasing near the end.
DC Cables
There are three types of DC cables included with the Hot Stone Deluxe:
1) 5.5x2.1mm (BLACK) to 5.5x2.1mm (BLACK): This is the standard cable used by most
pedals (BOSS™, Ibanez™, DOD™, and most 9V pedals).
2) 5.5x2.1mm (BLACK) to 5.5x2.5mm center-positive (BLUE): This cable should be used
with the Line6™ 4button modeling pedals and Eventide™ Factor pedals. These can also be
used for powering some AC powered effects (depending on current draw).
3) 5.5x2.1mm (BLACK) to 3.5mm mini plug (tip positive): Use this to supply tip-positive
voltage to any pedals using 3.5mm mini jacks.
Other types power cables can be purchased including:
Polarity reversal for pedals requiring 5.5x2.1mm “center-positive” connection.
Voltage Doubling cable for combining two outputs to create 18V or 24V
Current Doubling cable for combining two outputs to create double current.
Various lengths and end types are available for purchase.
