    I recently bought a new Zoom G2.1u effetcs processor from singapore. A problem has cropped up suddenly it works with batteries but not with the zoom power adapter which i bought? i also tried some other adapters but they too not working? what do I do now? Its really urgent.! I bought an original Zoom Adapter of 300mA, i tried a 1000mA adapter of some XYZ brand that seems to work. But is it advisable to use that?

    Dunno about the Zoom G series, but I have a Zoom 707II up for sale which ONLY works on 1000mA adapters. I don't know why this happens but it happens. Another guy had the same problem with Zoom707II and when I advised him to fire up through a 1000mA adapter, it worked.

    I don't know why it happens, since the proc rated amperage is 300mA. I wouldn't suggest that to you for fear of frying the proc. But yeah, this happens.

    @amit25 : I tried upping the voltage and that didn't work with mine.
