Need help plox

I figured this was the best spot for this, since it’s pedal power related.

So, I had been using my pedalboard this way, since the summer. And it was working perfectly. It was a Friedman IRX, an HX Stomp XL, and a Shure GLXD16+, all powered by a Strymon Zuma R300.

I recently moved, (a week ago), from the IRX to an IRD, same pedalboard, didn’t have to change anything. It WAS working just like the old board, until today.

Now, when I power the board up, the Friedman powers up for 1 second, then powers down, and just keeps repeating that.

Here’s the important part:

The IRX/D uses 12v (but can be used with 9v, I think?), and 800ma for power, so I use a doubling cable, and 2 outputs on the Zuma (500ma each output).

If I use the Friedman’s wall wart, it’s fine, AND, if I use the one Zuma output set to 12v and the other set to 9v, it’s also fine. It’s only when I set both Zuma outputs to 9v, that this occurs, and I could SWEAR, the Zuma has ALWAYS been set to 9v, either with the IRX (for months), and with this new IRD (for the last week).

What was the issue? Is there a difference with the IR-D?

I dunno, but he said the Zumas are the only power supplies they have had a problem with, the IR-X/D don’t seem to like the voltage spike on power up, or something like that.

Doesn’t matter, I’m already back to my “pedals into clean amp” deal anyway
