Lista abbastanza completa riguardante l'intensità di corrente che i nostri amati pedalini necessitano per poter funzionare! Non basta infatti collegare un alimentatore a 9 volt (tendenzialmente sempre a corrente continua, DC, anche se alcuni richiedono quella alternata), bisogna avere un occhio di riguardo anche all'amperaggio, ovvero all'intensità con cui la corrente deve essere erogata.
Un esempio molto facile per capire questo concetto è il seguente: immaginiamo di aprire il rubinetto di un lavandino al minimo. L'acqua (i nostri 9 volt) fuoriesce tranquillamente ma il nostro flusso risulta troppo esiguo per riuscire a lavarci le mani decentemente. Per poter utilizzare quel flusso in maniera corretta dovremo aprire di più il rubinetto e far aumentare la corsa dell'acqua. In sostanza, i pedali necessitano che la corrente proveniente da un alimentatore esterno venga erogata con un flusso più o meno consistente e se questo non viene rispettato, il pedale potrebbe spegnersi durante l'utilizzo.. senza però danneggiarsi.
Cercherò di tenere sempre aggiornata questa pagina, inserendo nuovi pedali non appena riuscirò a reperire le loro informazioni.
La sigla mA indica i milliampere. 1000 milliampere coincidono con 1 ampere. Calcola che alimentatori studiati appositamente per alimentare i pedali per chitarra e basso (come gli 1Spot, Cioks, o simili) solitamente riescono ad erogare almeno 1000 mA, il tutto specificato sopra la confezione (esempio: alimentatore 9V DC con sei uscite per 1700 mA totali). Considera anche che solitamente un pedalino di quelli compatti non richiederà più di 50 mA per funzionare correttamente, soprattutto se si tratta di un pedale analogico. Altri pedali più complessi e digitali, ad esempio lo Strymon Timeline oppure l'Eventide Space Reverb arriveranno invece a richiedere anche 400 mA, nel loro caso a 12 Volt.
