Q: Which power supply works with each Line 6 device?
Line 6 power supplies are available at your local dealer or at our Online Store.
4-button stompbox owners can use any DC 12V 1000mA center positive supply that they can find. We don’t endorse any 3rd party products, so do so at your own risk.
Q: I want to power more than one Line 6 unit from the same power supply. How can I achieve this?
A: The Voodolab Pedal Power II Plus can power up to 6 Tonecore pedals and two Modeling pedals at once, and the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power AC can power up to four Modeling pedals. Other power supplies may not deliver consistent voltage and are not supported by Line 6.
To power the early Line 6 "modeler pedals" (DL4, DM4, FM4, MM4, etc) with Pedal Power 2 Plus, use output 5 or 6, DIP switch AWAY from normal with the supplied red/black ended cable (it's 2.1mm/2.5mm reverse polarity and the red end fits the effect pedal).
The reason this works is that the actual current draw* of these early modeler pedals is less than 250mA. Also, when DC power is used, 12V is required (as opposed to 9V when AC power is used).
*It is quite common for effects/pedals to be labeled to match the specifications of some included/OEM power supply (as labeling them differently can often times confuse the end user). When however, in reality, these effects/pedals will have an actual current draw (mA) that is (far) less than this specified/labeled value. Note: sometimes, the actual current draw can be found in the manual (appendix/specs).
Q: I am traveling overseas. How should I power my Line 6 device?
A: You can buy any adapter that converts your country's power to these specs and it will work. Any electronics store in your country should be able to sell you one, or you can contact your local Line 6 dealer. Be aware that the DC-1g and DC-3g power supplies are universal across all voltage and power standards around the world, and you will only need the appropriate adapter for a new region rather than a different power supply or transformer.
There are certain products that operate over a range of power supplied and don't require any conversion:
Helix Floor/Rack/LT, Powercab 112/112 Plus, all Catalyst amps, Firehawk 1500: 100-240V AC
Relay G90: 90-250V AC
POD HD Pro/Pro X: 100-240V AC
POD X3 Pro: 100-240V AC
Q: What if I do not have the Line 6 power supply?
A: If it is not possible for you to obtain an official Line 6 power supply, then any other power supply with the same specifications should suffice (but is not supported).
Q: I am outside the United States, what do I need to power my Line 6 unit?
Option 1: We recommended that the proper Line 6 power supply be used. Please contact an authorized Line 6 Distributor for the appropriate region. To acquire the proper Line 6 power supply for a desired country, please visit the Authorized Line 6 Dealers page to find an one near you.
Option 2: You will need a travel voltage converter. These will work with our products provided they output the currents and voltages specified on your Line 6 devices or power supplies.
Q: I purchased my internally powered Line 6 unit in a region that has "XXX" voltage, and now I am relocating to a region that has different power. Can my Line 6 unit be modified or do I need to use a external transformer?
A: Many Line 6 products can be internally modified at an Authorized Line 6 Service Center to the power needs in your new region. Spider amplifiers require that the transformer be replaced along with internal modification. Please note that this is a non-warranty modification and will not be covered under any warranty agreement.
Q: What are some of the common power situations around the world?
A: Always verify your voltage and frequency BEFORE plugging your unit in, as damage could result if the unit is improperly powered. Although there can be variations to power, here are some common voltage and frequency situations found around the world:
United States: 120V AC/60 HZ
Europe: 230V AC/50Hz
United Kingdom: 230V AC/50Hz
Australia: 230V AC/50Hz
Japan: 100V AC/60Hz

Q: What is the U.S. warranty on a Line 6 power supply?
A: 90 days from the purchase date. This applies to power supplies purchased separately and were not included with a Line 6 device.
Q: What is the difference between alkaline and rechargeable batteries?
A: Rechargeable batteries will usually last about half the time of alkaline batteries, and can have an inconsistent power drain after each recharge. We recommend using alkaline batteries when powering your Line 6 product. Not all rechargables are true AA size and may not fit correctly.
