power extension leads, do they exist and where to get them?

[sirmuppet]

Hi guys. Am putting together a pedalboard at the moment. I have a daisy chain power supply from my boss pedal. Some of the ends don't reach the desired pedal and wondered if extensions exist. I don't need massive lengths just a couple of pedals length really. Do these exist and if so where do you get them? I've been looking but I'm not coming up ith much. Best I could find were some CCTV ones on Amazon which I didn't know if they were right or not. Oh and it's just the standard Boss size 9v ones. Thanks for any help.

Yeah sorta like that. I was looking for just an extender. I guess if you don't go over the Ma's then it shouldn't be an issue should it?

I dont think so as far as i understand it! 

 

This thing is basically an extension lead just eith the second bit. 

 

Apparently if you leave one unplugged you should tape it up with electrical tape

I was more thinking rather tahn extend each one I need to is to run one of these down to the bottom row and just buy as many as I need to fit to the bottom row of pedals. That should work as it would the same I guess as one pedal being a higher draw off the original chain but just supplying more rather than one draw. If that makes sense, lol.

If it's not right,someone will let you know!

 

You wouldnt just get a cheap harley benton supply and not worry about that?

I did think about that or the Gator G Bus-8 but my tuner has a power out for a daisy chain. So figured I'd try that first.

It would be a pretty simple job to solder in some extension splices. If you stagger the join by snipping the cable an inch or so apart then one piece of heat shrink can tidily cover the joint with no shorting. Remember to put your heat shrink on the cable before soldering.

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

Exactly that. 

 

This may sound stupid but it says DC, can that still be used on an AC adaptor?

The voltage your adapter puts out is 9v DC, so yes, it’s fine. I’ve used these myself (I love CPC, they do everything).

Brilliant. Once I know which pedals I'm keeping and how big the board will be I'll know which I need to order. Thanks for the help everyone.

Yes. Commonly used on AC and DC outputs (it's termed a "DC Power Plug" but there's no actual electrical polarity to the plug itself).
