I just bought and received a Voodoo Labs 4x4 power supply from Reverb. It arrived without the power cable, the one that runs from the unit to the wall. I found a cable at work that fits in the back of the power supply but I am concerned that it is not rated for this kind of unit. I am a novice at this and I thought I would ask you guys before I plugged the unit into the wall with a cable that it did not come with. As you probably know the unit has a sticker on the back that reads 120 V Only. The cable has a lot of letters and numbers thrown together that I can not decipher but it does say "300V". In your opinion is the cable safe to use with this power supply?
Thanks
Scott

Re: Power Cable Replacement
The cable will not produce more power than what's coming out of your walloutlet, so you're fine.

Re: Power Cable Replacement
Thank you. I kinda thought that but I did not want to put my pedals or the power supply in jeopardy.
Thanks

Re: Power Cable Replacement
The "300V" on your IEC cable is a rated maximum. I know it can be confusing, but you're definitely fine. The cable is a passive device-- it can only pass along what's put into it. As long as your wall outlet is in the US, Canada, Japan, or some other place where the standard is nominally 100-120v, you'll be fine!
