Title: Adapter to use 9v battery?
Post by: ferrinbonn on October 16, 2016, 07:46:07 PM
Hey guys. I notice that the pedals on here don't have the ability to use a 9v battery. That's fine most of the time, but if I want to grab a pedal and go without bringing my whole pedal board, it's problematic. Is there an adapter out there that plugs in to the power jack and let's you use an external 9v in a pinch?

You could wire one of these to a battery snap - http://www.bitsbox.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=225_232&products_id=1688&zenid=gk4h958t2m39u7kleq2678iav4  a bit ugly but it'll get the job done

Do this, really couldn't be simpler. (And it doesn't have to be ugly.)

If I can't get out of making a pedal for someone, this is exactly what I do, plus it helps with troubleshoot sometimes too.
