IMPORTANT:
You must know the power requirements of your pedals and match them to the capabilities of the Power Grid
Power Supply. Mismatching your pedal’s requirements and the Power Grid's performance is the difference between your
pedal working correctly and potentially damaging it.
OUTPUTS:
The Power Grid 10 provides 10 isolated outputs delivering a maximum 350mA per output at 9Vdc tip negative.
Guidelines:
If you plug a pedal that requires more current than what the Power Grid output provides, your pedal will simply not
work correctly. We simply recommend not doing it!
KNOWING YOUR PEDALS POWER REQUIREMENTS:
You should know what pedal you are plugging into the Power Grid 10. Inspect your pedal, refer to the instruction manual of your
pedal, check online or contact the manufacturer - one way or another you should know what you plugging into this power supply.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Friedman Power Grid 10
While Dave Friedman is world renowned for the great sound and functionality of his products, the Power
Grid’s claim to fame is its light weight, universal voltage and most importantly, the Power Grid 10 is dead
silent. After building pedal boards and rack systems for the who’s who in the industry for 25 years, Dave
knows the importance of a dead silent, hum free rig.
The Friedman Power Grid 10 is a universal input voltage pedal power supply. Meaning, you can plug it in
anywhere in the world without having to flip voltage switches or worrying about having to use a step up or
step down transformer. The Power Grid 10 utilizes an advanced switch mode power supply, which eliminates
the need to use large toroidal transformers. The result is no proximity hum will infiltrate your pedals. This
allows your pedal board to be ultra quiet onstage or in the studio.
Additionally, the Power Grids switch mode power supply technology allows it to be much lighter in weight
than most if not all of the current power supplies on the market. And, when your lugging around your rig all
over the world, the lighter the better. The Power Grid 10 transforms the wall voltage from 100-240vac and
converts it to the stated voltages on the front panel of the Power Grid 10.
