Rackmount G2M

Post by Vintageconn »

I see suggestions for putting a G2M in a pedalboard. Have you considered a rack mount version, with any control or switches on the panel face? It would easily fit in a 1/2 width 1U slot.

I'm considering mounting my G2M inside my effects case. Is there an amperage limit I should observe for a 9V DC power supply? I assume current draw is minimal.

Other than constantly sending it an audio signal, is there any way to keep the G2M from going into its low power state?

Thanks,
VC

A rack-mounted unit is something we have considered, but we're not sure how large the market for that would be. A pedal-based version likely is a larger market for us.

Yes, it's very low. The average current required is 12mA. Anything that can supply a peak current of ~ 20mA should be fine (which I suspect means just about every 9V PSU available).

Unfortunately, not at the moment. It doesn't need a constant audio signal, just something within the 30 minute time-out. So a short signal once every 20 minutes would be fine.
