Guitar Pedal Power Draw Chart in mA

266 of the 343 pedals in our list publish how much current they draw, and half of those draw 100 mA or less. The lightest is the Vox V847-A Wah at 0.54 mA and the hungriest is the Mooer GE300 at 3000 mA. Rated adapter figures are listed apart at the end, because they are not draws.

Current draw of every pedal, highest first

Each figure links to the page it comes from. Voltage is the one the pedal runs on.

How to add it up

  • The mA figure is the most the maker says the pedal pulls at its stated voltage.
  • Add up the pedals on one output. Keep the total under that output's rating, because each output has its own limit.
  • Match the voltage before the current. An output at the wrong voltage can damage a pedal, however many mA it has.
  • Check the plug too. Nearly all pedals want a center-negative plug, and a few want center-positive.
