    I seem to have hit another stumbling block , the psu I've got provides -ve tipped 9V , this works fine on a TS10 and my Epi delay [which also have the boss type connectors].The DOD pedals on the other hand seem to require a +ve tip 9V supply . Now I can get a link lead that will convert tip polarity but can't run both types of pedal off a common psu so I'd need 2 of them to run the 2 pedal types . Like Deaa mentioned earlier can i open up the DOD pedals and just switch the wiring around from the power in jack . It's been a while since I've had to think about electronics but all these pedals run off a 9V battery so if I say just swap the black and red wires will that switch the polarity to what I require .

    Hi, before you tear into the DOD pedal, are these part of the old (80s/90s USA made) FX series. Compressor - FX80(B), etc. If they are, you can get adaptors for them. The adaptors that are sold for the OneSpot system work very well, I should know, I bought some for mine - FX50, 55, 65, 80 and I have had no problems, even though the docs say "10vdc" a 9vdc adaptor (such as OneSpot) works great.

    Cheers for the replies guys , Dean what sort of adaptor have you got , the psu I`ve got is similar to the 1spot and would be perfect for Boss style input jacks not the mini headset style my DOD stuff needs.As I mentioned reversing the polarity may just put the line voltage straight to chassis/earth . I knew in the long run it would have been cheaper to get an ME70. I can see me putting an order in with DVM soon !
