Correct. The extender leeches power from the empeg over the ribbon cables. But there are onboard jumpers which can be changed if one wants to provide it with separate power. Double check that those jumpers are set correctly for leeching from the empeg.

display. This allows for much longer cable runs to be used.
Should you need to employ this option, simply move the two jumpers on the receiver board to the position closest to the
labeling “PL16” and “PL17” respectively. This removes the power from the Empeg/RioCar from the receiver outputs and
places the regulators in circuit. Next, attach a proper connector to the two pin right angle header on the left side of the
receiver board, assuring that ‘–‘ is on the right pin and ‘+’ is on the left.
