DC Power Cables

The Pedal Power end of each supplied DC power cable has a black barrel

connector. The other end has either another identical barrel connector (center

negative), a 5.5x2.5mm red barrel (center positive) or a 3.5mm mini-plug (tip

positive). Use the standard black barrel connector cables with most common 9V

battery operated pedals.

Before powering your pedal with a standard black barrel connector, you must

verify that the pedal requires “center negative” polarity to prevent damage. Some

common exceptions with their power jacks wired for “center positive” are the

Fulltone ‘69, SoulBender, and Octafuzz pedals and Moogerfoogers. Reverse

polarity cables are available from Voodoo Lab to properly power these pedals.

Strymon

All Strymon pedals (including the larger format Timeline) can be powered from

any of the high-current 400mA 9V outputs using a standard black 5.5x2.1mm

barrel cable.

Important: Strymon pedals should only be powered from the 9V outputs.

Attempting to power from a 12V output will permanently damage the pedal. Don’t

do it, we warned you!

Boss Pedals

There are two types of Boss pedals which operate from a 9V battery. These are

identified by the type of power supply specified, either PSA or ACA. Almost all

Boss pedals specify the PSA type adapter and operate at 9V. Boss pedals which

specify the ACA type adapter require a higher voltage and should be powered by

a 12V ACA output (via DIP switches). Boss Twin pedals, such as the DD-20,

require more than 100mA and can be powered from any 9V high-current (250ma

or 400mA) output.
