CANVAS POWER 8 500mA 18v Powering High Voltage Pedals

Thank you for trusting us to provide your pedals with clean, quiet isolated power. The Canvas Power series is built using modern switch mode supply architectures. This means each output is isolated, highly efficient, and heavily filtered, ensuring they supply plenty of power with incredibly low noise. Our goal with Canvas Power is to bring simplicity and modularity to power your pedals.  Rest easy knowing your pedals are taken care of as your collection grows. Canvas Power is ready to travel the globe with its world wide voltage-compatible DC brick. Just be sure to pack your country’s appropriate IEC cable right next to your toothbrush.

GETTING STARTED

First, wire up your board. Connect your pedals to the appropriate power outputs. Second, connect the DC Brick cable to the 24V DC Input. Finally, connect the IEC cable to the DC Brick to power your pedals.

Each output is rated at 9VDC, 500mA. This means they can power a wide variety pedals on the market. Before connecting, be sure to check your pedal’s voltage, polarity, and required current.
Note: We reccomend connecting all of your pedals before powering on your power supply.

The LED indicators above each output will light up, indicating the DC cable is plugged in and is making a solid connection.

VOLTAGE SELECTION

If you have a pedal that requires 12 or 18V, we’ve got you covered. Before connecting your pedal, double check its power requirements and set the toggle switch to the appropriate voltage. Nobody likes a crispy pedal. Then connect the DC cable to your pedal.
Note: 375mA max. @ 12V / 250mA max. @ 18V

LINKING POWER

With the 24V Link Output, you can connect up to two additional Canvas Power devices.

When expanding your system, we recommend connecting the largest unit to the DC Brick. When linking additional Canvas Power units, always reference the power meter on the unit connected to the DC Brick.

Want to bring all 44 of your pedals for your weekend fly rig? Slap a couple Power 22s under your board and you’re good to go.

The Power 5 and 8 include a 48W, 24VDC power brick. If you need to link multiple power supplies together that require more than 48W of total power, we recommend using the 96W brick (included with Power 15 and Power 22).

WANT TO GET REALLY TECHNICAL?

To estimate how much power your pedal board will need, do this calculation for each pedal, then add up the results to get the estimated total wattage required by your board.
Multiply the pedal’s voltage requirement by its current draw.
Voltage(V) x Current(A) = Power(W)
Example: The Slö Reverb requires 9VDC and 100mA (0.1A) current draw so 9VDC x 0.1A = 0.9 Watts.

POWER METER

USB C PORT
Got a phone you need to charge? Use an iPad for charts?
Or maybe plug in a little snake light to hover over your pedals in a dark venue. The possibilites are only limited to USB-C devices you can find online.
Note – Power Meter and USB-C only on Power 8, 15, and 22 models.

MOUNTING TO YOUR BOARD

TECHNICAL INFO

NOTE: Most pedals draw less current than what is printed on the enclosure, but it is safe to use that number as a reference when calculating total power requirements.
