Modtone Current draw list

A few weeks back, I remember asking on Modtone's Facebook page for the current draw of Speedbox and Vintage Wah. They did reply me and gave me the information I needed. In addition to that, they had provided a whole list of current specification of their pedals. Here is the list.

The chromatic tuner draws the most current. Hmm... And indeed, it draws 3 times the maximum current drawn by Korg Pitchblack. And as usual, wah draws the 2nd least current (clean boost is the first, I expect it to draw more current). As for volume pedal, the reason why it doesn't draw any current is because it is a passive pedal. They also provide the information for its powered pedal board. 450mA for 8 pedals would mean 56.25mA per pedal. It wouldn't be a problem powering the Modtones though but how about the other brands?
The people can make better informed decisions before buying anything.
