ironkerton Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hey, I am looking to work out how to power a DOD Meatbox but obviously it is being a pain. Currently I am using batteries but I am upgrading to a power supply this week (maybe flatliner six) and want to make sure it's compatible with my pedals I was going to get one of those GigRig battery emulators then realised it said to use a 10v neg ground power supply on the bottom. The power socket isn't a boss style either. Does anyone power one of these from a power supply unit and if so how? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Get one of these: http://www.gak.co.uk/en/visual-sound-3.5mm-converter/31273 And just use a standard 9v centre negative supply Simples Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Exactly as sibob has said. \thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byo Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) I have a MeatBox and that is the best way to use it... I do the same with the old EXH pedals that I have (the big chunky metal enclosures). I run it at 9V without any problem... was not aware of the 10V and I am not sure you will find anything that gives you 10V power. 9V, 12V, 15V, 18V (24V too) is what is commonly used. Cheers Edited May 23, 2014 by Byo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironkerton Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Nice one! I forgot to notice that I already have one of those so easy as. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I have a DOD FX65 chorus, and I run that at 12V to give the delay chip a bit more headroom. I'm not sure there would be any benefit to the chips in the Meatbox - anyone know by looking at this pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
