Members EvilMeow Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 So I've got this shiny new Zvex SHO And it doesn't have a 9v power input. My PedalPower 2+ came with a battery clip adapter, but I'm trying to figure out a way to get it in there and out without messing with the pedal. I want to keep the back on if I can, and I don't want to drill a hole in this great paint job. Maybe use the bypass out to feed the clip through? How do you get around that?

Members EvilMeow Posted January 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Aha! I hadn't seen these! They're pricey. Still, though, seems like the most elegant solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members H.R. Shove and Stuff Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Doesn't the battery last a reaaaaaaaaaaaaally long time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members justintee Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Doesn't the battery last a reaaaaaaaaaaaaally long time? indeed. just use a battery. i've had my super duper 2in1 for a couple of years now and have only needed to change the batteries twice. and this is with nearly daily use - i'd estimate about 10 hours a week having the zvex plugged in. plus if you've got a board and it's first in the chain you have to unplug the input anyway.

Members Coma Larkin Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 W/ the SHO I'm selling, I just used a Dremel to notch the bottom plate and ran the cord through there. I know you don't want to do that w/ your nice paint job, but it's possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members b_nehpets Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 have you considered the power plate? :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachary vex Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Please keep track of your original pedal bottom plate. So many people go to sell the pedal later and don't have the original painted plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NBarnes21 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 You could get a 1 Spot battery clip adapter and run it out the back of the pedal, you can screw the back down pretty far and squish the cable quite a bit and it will still work, I have it almost flattened on my Loop Junky (the back is screwed almost all of the way down) and haven't had any issues. It'll only cost you 3 bucks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ATauO Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 thats a awesome SHO- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TweedBassman Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 i saw that SHO on ebay and almost got it, picked up a different LB version instead. awesome pedal (looks and sound). you could remove the second output and run the 9 volt clip adapter through there, but it'll probably void the warranty because you'd have to clip or de-solder the jack. i say just use a battery and unplug it.

Members JorisBlack Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Oh it has a bypass out? Well, I'd use the battery clip you have, let the cable run through that free output and power it up that way, instead of buying a power plate... It's the cheapest way, and those powerplates have the power cable coming out of the bottom, so it could get in the way if you velcro your pedal or something like that...

Members kyrreca Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 The battery will last forever in a SHO, so there's no reason for any action, really. I'm planning to drill a hole for a DC jack in my Wah Probe, because it drains the battery pretty fast if I don't unplug it, and the way I have my pedal board setup, unplugging it is a hassle. I don't care if it lowers the resale value, as I can't see myself selling it. That SHO looks great, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat long and hard staring at that auction, trying to decide if I wanted to snag it. It was a good price, and I really wanted some hand painted Zvex effects. I am having one issue with it. A couple times yesterday, when I clicked the switch, the light came on but the pedal didn't actually engage and start working. I still had the original signal. I think I might have to send it in. I'm still glad that I picked it up, though. It sounds freaking great and looks awesome. Yeah, I think I'll just unplug it and use a battery, by the way.
