lefrash Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 My band are going to the USA for a few shows. My pedal board consists of a zoom b3, a zoom ms60b. Digitech bsw, ls2 and a behringer us600. My understanding is that I can simply use a USA 9v adapter if the pedals say '110 - 240v'. Is that correct? So if say, when I'm over there I just by a 9v adapter to daisy chain the required pedals? Another thing I've got is that I can't actually see on the Web whethery pedals camn work on 110v. It seems that it's normal for modern electricals to do so, but I can't see for sure. My pedal boards currently not in my possession and they are velcroed up so I might not get to see the wee sticker. Anyone got experience with these particular pedals? Thirdly, would it preferably just to try do without the full board and just take what is absolutely necessarY?.... Ie I might be able just to use the b3. All advice welcome. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 None of these pedals are 110 - 240V, which is mains AC voltage. Pretty sure they're all 9V DC . If the brick you're using to power your pedals says 110 - 240V AC input, all you should need is an adaptor to convert the UK plug into a US one.

lefrash Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 That's good to know. Thanks. Ill need to have a look tonight, hopefully the power brick does do that. If not I'm in a bit of a position! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 If all else fails batteries are relatively cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefrash Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 After last night,we've kinda decided on 10 songs that we're going to play over the few shows we're doing. Therefore I could realistically go down to 3 pedals. So, batteries its going to be! cheers for your help! Actually.... we do have a korg Microkorg. The actual keyboard doesnt state the voltage etc, but the adapter does state 110-240v AC. I wonder if that will be ok to use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] if thats the official one, says [url="http://www.korg.com/us/products/synthesizers/microkorg/page_3.php"]here[/url] that it outputs 9v, center negative, 600mA.

Byo Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You could always get a 1-spot (US version) from a Guitar Centre store or similar once in the USA. But for 3 pedals, batteries are a good option too if you are not sure that your power supply can switch to 110v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
