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 ?

Pete

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.
