While cleaning and re-arranging my music room I found 8 (very infrequently used) pedals and put them all in one spot. I got to thinking that I might like to have them all hooked up in a line but I'm stumped about how to power them all without batteries or a cord mess. Does anyone know if/how I can power them all with one daisy chain kind of power supply?

Here's what they say:

3 Boss that say "Boss PSA adapter only"
1 Boss that say "Boss ACA adapter only"
1 Digitech that says "Use Harman Model PS200R power supply"
3 DOD that say "Use 10 volt DC negative ground power supply"

Thanks :dude:

Any of these should work...

Note: Boss ACA (unregulated) adapters have been discontinued since the 90's. Any PSA adapter will sub.

Cheers and HTH,

Thanks Bob! That first one will be perfect.

Anyone know what effect, if any, will the 10v DOD effects have running at 9v?

They work fine on 9v batteries. In fact, I have a few DOD pedals and a couple of 10v adapters and i can't tell the difference between running the pedal on the 10v supply and a 9v battery. In fact, my BiFet preamp came with a 12v adapter and I can't tell a difference vs. a 9v battery.

Which DOD pedals do you have?
