I got out the multimeter tonight and measured the draw of all of the Moogerfooger effects. I don't have the Multipedal yet, sorry. The current draw changed about 10-20 mA when going from no signal to "red" drive level. And my meter is really cheap/broken, so I could only read to 10 mA.

Measured using a regulated 9 VDC supply.

MF101 40-50 mA
MF102 40-50 mA
MF103 70-90 mA
MF104SD 130-150 mA (long delay setting), 140-160 mA (short delay setting)
MF105 210 mA
MF105B 220 mA
MF107 100-130 mA
CP-251 40-50 mA, but it wasn't processing anything.


This could give a rough guide to anyone trying to daisy-chain effects off fewer power supplies. I'm sure you're supposed to allow for more than this, so if any engineers have any insight, feel free to share.

Of course, YMMV.

The Multi Pedal uses a different Power Supply from the other MoogerFoogers, it's out put is 12 volts AC with 600ma rating. The power supplies for the others are 9 volt DC. Good news is that the MP201 supply has a larger plug on it than the other Foogers, so there is little chance you could plug it into something that is looking for DC .

One thing I and several others do is to label what each power supply goes to.
Thanks for taking the time to measure the loads
