petetexas Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hi all , I have a 15vdc 2000ma power supply . which powers my Radial Bassbone ( 15vdc x 400ma needed ) I need a 9vdc x 500ma supply for my Zoom pedal as well , Does anyone know if I can take a tap from the 15vdc supply , and step it down to 9vdc to run both units at the same time ?

machinehead Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I think it's just not a practical thing to do. It would be much cheaper and simpler to just buy a 9V power supply. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 You certainly can! Are you ok with soldering? The problem is, I can't find the exact item I bought to do the same! Here's the closest: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/14-50V-To-12V-5-5-2-5DC-Male-Converter-CPT-Car-power-Step-Down-Regulator-OL/183401643613?epid=9004621668&hash=item2ab396fe5d:g:wVIAAOSwZOBbhAFr:rk:2:pf:0 which is a little convertor that in the case of the above will allow you to but anything up to 50V in and get 12V DC out. The one I bought was a 9V output version but I can't find them on eBay at the moment! Here's the title from my purchase history: 5.5*2.5DC Male 11-50V to 9V Converter Step Down Regulator CPT Car power UK It was £4 and I bought these: 5.5mm x 2.1mm Female DC Power Socket CCTV male Connector solder 1-15 inline plug to give me options as to what I solder on. I also bought a 5V USB version that allows me to power USB devices from pedal board PSUs! Of curse you will want the 9V version and I am sure they are out there, maybe on AliExpress or similar. If I had the time I'd make up loads of these as they have been really useful when you have one really good 'pedal power' power supply.
