I built the Road Rage hoping to use my old Motorola 5V power supplies to power some of my effects.
The Motorola adapter is rated 5V, 850ma.
I used the MAX1044CPA and 3 1N4001s for D1-D3 hoping to drop the doubled voltage closer to 9V.
With no load, the Rage puts out 9.5V, but when I power up my Wampler 65 clone, it drops to 8.5v.
Is this normal?
