how to power a PNP germanium fuzz with no DC jack

Hi. I'm wondering how I can use my PP2+ to power a fuzz face that I'll be receiving soon? It's positive ground being PNP germanium, and it does not have a DC jack, i.e. only has a battery snap. I have the battery snap cable that came with my PP2+. Would this be fine, as batteries only connect one way? Or do I need a reverse polarity battery snap cable of some sort? Sorry if my question sounds a bit naive. I want to run this off my PP2+ rather than battery so that I can experiment with the battery sag control.

Thanks

The Battery Snap cable will work for anything that takes a 9V battery.

...unless your pedal requires a reverse polarity battery ;)
