9v Battery to Mains

[gypsyjazzer]

I have a Schatten D/B pickup which is powered by a 9v battery.
Question: Can I eliminate the 9v battery with a mains addaptor? If so, details of the mains addaptor please.

a google search will reveal loads of outlets for a 9vdc adapter, same as for powering guitar pedals, just need to check they are correct polarity, you can even get adapters to fit the battery +/- snapfits which fit a standard 2.5mm dc jackplug - all available via ebay or johnnyshredfreak pedalparts store (google helps!)

Yes, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to do this.

One of [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=24"]these[/url] and one of [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=12"]these[/url] should do the trick.

Alternatively, one of [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/ac-dc-multi-voltage-20w-power-supply-32754"]these[/url] (any 9V supply would work, I just happen to have that one so can recommend it) with [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/dc-power-line-sockets-43091?ordercode=JK11M"]this[/url] and [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/pp3-type-battery-snap-44392"]this[/url].

In my experience, you might get some hum from using the mains transformer, but if so, this can be completely eliminated by putting a ferrite bead-type choke on the wire between the transformer and the pick-up.
