Gigrig distributors and small Strymon pedals

keir

I have a few Strymon pedals - Deco, Brigadier and Flint. Does anyone power these through a Gigrig distributor? They deliver enough current but aren't isolated.

The Gigrig website says that they work but would be better with a Timelord adapter, does the distributor route cause any issues?

Thanks

Without Timelord they aren't isolated so you may get noise. I had a flint and el cap which were noisy together but Timelords cured that

Ah looks like I'll need to need to pick up some timelords to power them then. Cheers.

You could try an isolator  rather than a distributor.  Cheaper option, but IME Strymons are noisy given half a chance.

Don't do that, isolator outputs don't have enough current per output - not surprising given it needs to fit 4 mini transformers in there

Btw if you're still looking I'll probably have all my gigrig stuff up for sale at the end of the week once I've tested out the Helix

Cool, definitely need a few bits so dibs would be great.
