Overclockers UK Forums. There was a time when guitar pedals were all powered by 9-volt (9V) batteries. The ACA pedals require a 12v power supply which then goes through a couple of components that knock it down to 9v. I only have a 12v ac adapter laying around. Is that alright? I am concerned that if the power input impedance of the pedals … Well... No. If you plug a 9v adapter into one, youre essentially only giving the pedal 6v or so. When a pedal says it requires 9V, don’t use a 12V power supply or you risk ruining the pedal. Using a 12V adapter on a pedal designed to only handle 9V can completely destroy it. p.s deeply sorry for this stupid question. You should be able to find a pedal forum and ask there, but you're trusting an anonymous stranger. As for using 12VDC to feed a 9VDC pedal, it can be done - sometimes, but you have to know more about the design of the pedal, and if they used capacitors that are rated for 12v. I guess that I need to know the impedance of the pedals at the power input in order to make an accurate potential divider. You can power up to four standard and one high-powered pedal (via four 150mA and one 500mA outputs) using a phone charger, laptop or any USB port. There’s also an included USB dual wall power supply. Battery manufacturers love this feature. I tried using a 9 V DC power supply and it powers the receiver just fine.

If your pedal does not specifically mention that it can operate on a different voltage, then make sure the voltage on your power supply matches what’s on the pedal — or you could blow it up! In most cases, powering a 9V guitar pedal with a 12V battery is a bad idea. EDIT: 4 April 2018 - 11:54 PM (GMT+7) this question needs no further answer. Its rated for 12 V DC and I currently don't have a matching power supply. In most cases, you cannot use a 12V adapter to power a 9V guitar pedal. Some guitar pedals accept more than 9V such as the Fulltone OCD, but these type of pedals are fairly uncommon. You might blow something up, so it's too risky to just try it. I want to power 9V DC guitar pedals using a 12V lead acid battery and would like some advice on this. Some pedals do run from AC power, usually 9V or 12V, so if you have one you may need a separate wall wart on your board, or you could look at some of the power supplies that provide AC outlets. Conveniently, the 529 can be connected to a portable battery pack, and you can also daisy chain two units together to power up to 10 pedals. Tip: Use a voltage doubler to convert a 9-volt or 12-volt power output for use with 18-volt or 24-volt guitar pedals. Voltage is only one part of the picture and even if you get the voltage right, it's possible for a power supply to ruin your pedal. Forums > Hardware > General Hardware > This site uses cookies. Of course, you can’t use 9V batteries to power pedals that require 12, 15, or 18 volts or AC power. Not his OD-2. I can no longer find the original power adapter for a wireles mic receiver in my home. Can you use a 12v adaptor for a 9v guitar pedal? Is it safe to use the 12v ac adapter to power up the homehub? pretty much as the title goes.. is it okay to plug an 12v DC power supply to 9v pedal? FIRST - The other posters are probably correct in that you probably could run the 12V LEDs from 9V, albeit at reduced brightness.

They’re actually an excellent power source – until they die because you forget to unplug the inputs. Log in or Sign up.
