I got mine but I still haven't got it to work... I haven't used a power bank I've tried a few USB adapters at 2.4 out but it doesn't seem to power them.
Still find all this confusing, but I ordered my first Ripcord and Volca Crazy Chain to test it out and should be arriving soon. Maybe it'll make more sense when it's in my hands how the voltage works and tip sizing.
Thanks for letting us know Stephanie. I'll try and put more explainer videos up over the next few weeks. If you have any questions, just pop them up here and I'll make sure to answer.
I have found the 3-way L on the outputs of the Crazy Chain products to be frustrating. You always have two cables at the power inlet of the device going in two directions at right angles to each other running parallel to the surface of the device itself. On the Korg Volca FM it can be awkward as the cables end up blocking either the power switch or the display. It can become unusable on some of my effect pedals that have the -9VDC power between the audio input and outputs. A configuration that is quite common.
With every solution, there are compromises to be made. We do also have make a one to five power splitter cable for the volcas, if you prefer that configuration.
Is it possible to connect a single crazy chain cable directly from a guitar pedal power supply with a 12v output (5.5*2.1 barrel) to a Behringer MX400 Micromix which has a 12v input (5.5*2.5 barrel)? Am I right in saying that the polarity from pedal power supplies are negative polarity but the Behringer MX400 Micromix is positive polarity so I will need something like the Crazy Chain VAR 2 (orange)? Can I get advice on this as I'm no expert ☹️?
Hi there. Yes, that is possible. And yes, the orange one will change polarity.Note that guitar pedals are usually 9V, so you will need a separate chain for that.
Hey what can you say about the noise? I tinkered my own daisy chain with a pedal supply but if I connect it to a pedal, Behringer TD-3 and the volcas (synced) I get noise. Have you in these power cables some sort of an isolation? (Pedal and Behringer has neg. inside and pos. outside but I can create a converter myself just struggle at the isolation).
There is always potential for noise in these set-ups. You need an isolated Power Supply (I suggest Strymon Ojay). Crazychain is especially good for volcas, as it can both reverse polarity and change connector in one simple cable.

I already bought your 5 way volca splitter but this is tempting
It certainly gives some flexibility. Thanks for your support.

Could you power a Behringer TD-3, RD-6 and a Pro-1 from one ripcord with these?
Hi there. You could power the TD3 and RD6 from one 9V Ripcord. The Pro 1 needs 12V, so a seperate 12V Ripcord for that.
@@myvolts1903 what connectors would I need for the TD and RD?
Thanks 😀
@@Gainn hi there. If you email help@myvolts.com, they will be able to help with that.
