Pedal Switcher - running with 12VDC

Post by eglass1 »

I just got a Pedal Switcher; I'm currently running it with the 9VAC wall adapter it came with, but saw documentation that it could also be run off 12VDC. I was wanting to know if there was anything I would need to account for. I'm assuming I would just need an adapter cable from my 12 volt DC power supply (it looks like the wall adapter has a 2.5mm connector... I guess is negative-tip?). The wall adapter output is labeled as 9VAC, 500mA. The DC power supply I have has a 12VDC 300mA slot.

Hi there,

This is from the Pedal Power Plus 2 manual, you can power the Pedal Switcher with it set to 12v operation.

Use the standard black barrel connector cables with Boss, Ibanez, Voodoo Lab, and most common pedals. If you have a pedal from another manufacturer which appears to use the same connector, you should verify that the polarity is “center negative” to prevent damage to the pedal. This is the standard polarity and virtually all pedals are wired this way.

Hope this helps.
GCPro, GCX, Pedal Power 2+, Pedal Power AC.
And some other stuff.
