I don't know yet how far I'll go. I've only just started with basic circuits, and bread boarded a couple of overdrive circuits. I've no previous background in electronics so still very much a beginner. Not got a good grasp of the laws and equations yet. Initially I suspect I'll mostly be...

Ah, okay. That makes sense. So when calculating wattage, it wouldn't be voltage x the amps settings on the power supply, but voltage x current draw of the circuit?

I was hoping this was the case. The Gigrig power supply I use on my pedal board has 5A available, but the pedals only draw what they need. I was concerned a bench power supply would force whatever current was set. I'm guessing they do in CC mode? I'll stick to CV, unless I know the current...

Relatively new to making circuits, thinking of getting a bench power supply. Would like some advice on recommended current settings, no doubt this would depend on the circuit, but is it common practice to calculate wattage of a circuit before dialling in a safe amperage, or is there a base line...
