How do I figure Mili amps??

[Mike Nichting]

Hay all,
how do I figure mA when I'm done with a pedal so that I know what size of adapter to use??

If there is a safe value for the adapter then just tell me how to figure out the total mA usage of a pedal??

thanks

In many cases this is very small say 30Ma...
 the 300Ma dapters are quite common...theoretically enough current available there to run 10 pedals.
 To check the ckt's current draw use a DMM's leads...
 Plug one side of the battery clip to the battery
 for the other battery connection to clip, connect the DMM leads and read the current draw ... the battery current must flow through the DMM and current measurement can then be taken.

Sounds easy enough  

Thanks Pete~!!!
