Quick Gigrig Isolator question

theflyisback

Hi,

I'm using a Strymon Zuma power supply for my board.  I currently have one outlet daisy chained into a few analogue drive pedals and to the looper switcher unit i have.  Its working fine generally but the actual daisy chain cable itself is a bit annoying (could do with L shape connectors rather than straight - yes i know you can get them) and also im stretching it in and around other pedals in a way that i could do without.

Is it okay using a gigrig isolator (into one of the zumas 500ma slots)?  Are they compatible?  Perhaps overkill for what i need but it would at least make things a little tidier, and great if they are isolated.

Should add, reason being it would save me a few quid over getting an ojai expansion

I’ve done this before and it works just fine.

just be aware that the isolator itself requires current to operate (and a fair bit) , so will consume some of that 500ma

Cheers, i'll give it a go.  Think the pedals i'll be using it with total about 80ma draw combined so i would hope theres plenty of juice left.
