FAQs
What is the difference between isolated and non-isolated outputs?
Isolated outputs have their own dedicated power circuits, preventing ground loops and reducing noise. Non-isolated outputs share a common power circuit, which can lead to noise issues.
Can I use the Zuma with pedals that require AC power?
No, the Zuma only provides DC power. You will need a separate power supply for pedals that require AC power.
How many pedals can the Zuma power?
The number of pedals depends on their current draw. The Zuma has a total output capacity of 24W. Check the current requirements of your pedals to ensure they do not exceed the Zuma's capacity.
What are the output voltage options?
The Zuma offers both 9V and 12V DC outputs.
What kind of cables does the Zuma use?
The Zuma uses standard DC cables (barrel connectors) to connect to your pedals. The correct type of cable should be included.
Is the Zuma compatible with worldwide power outlets?
Yes, the Zuma is designed to operate with a wide range of input voltages, making it suitable for use in various countries.
How do I know if my pedals will work with the Zuma?
Check the power requirements (voltage and current) of your pedals. Ensure the Zuma has outputs that match the voltage requirements. Also check that your pedals' total current draw does not exceed the Zuma's capacity.
Troubleshooting
A pedal is not powering on.
Check the LED indicator on the Zuma for the corresponding output. Ensure the DC cable is securely connected, and verify that the pedal's voltage and current requirements match the output's specifications.
There is noise or hum in the signal.
Make sure all DC cables are properly connected. If the noise persists, try a different output on the Zuma, or check that the power requirements of your pedals are not exceeding the output's capabilities.
The Zuma is overheating.
Ensure the Zuma has adequate ventilation and is not overloaded. If overheating persists, contact Strymon customer support.
