Mog Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I've decided to stick one of the Russian Muffs onto the main pedalboard. However, I use a Dunlop brick to power the board. Great piece of kit but it only powers pedals which have center (+) sockets. The question is, if I attach a battery clip converter to the muff will I also need to attach a polarity adapter between the clip adaptor and the DC Brick, or, are clip converters available which allow me to connect straight to the power supply unit? Confussticated yet? I am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protium Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 IIRC you run into problems mixing + and - ground pedals on the same supply Which brick do you have? All the Dunlops I've seen are centre negative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Its the DCB-10. Normally I'd check the manual but god only knows where it is. Edit. A quick google says you're correct. Edit 2. Perhaps I'm confusing the brick and the pedal. AFAIR EHX pedals use adaptors which require opposite polarity to what the standard PSU's supply. Told ya I was confussticated..............

Protium Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Just checked and my black Russian is negative ground, your battery clip adaptor should work with the pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protium Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I modified mine to have a standard Boss socket on it, but just wanted to be 100% sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Sound. Might look into that. The guitarist is fairly handy with a soldering iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
