Members bmast160 Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 if a pedal requires 9v dc and you use an adapter that supplies the correct amperage and is the correct polarity but supplies 12 volts will it damage the pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kevinsaari Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 If it cannot handle 12v, then yes, of course it will damage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bmast160 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 well ive been using it on the pedal for a months now and it works completely fine...im just wondering if its damaging it a little each time i use it and if it could ruin it.

Members thezeng Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 well if you open it up, the caps should tell you what voltage they are rated for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the right adapter, sheesh. Why take the chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty Belle Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 its ok to do it if:(A) you dont care if you break the effect(B) you know it can handle it otherwise leave it on the correct voltage. ive had my behringer dd100 delay up to 12 volts but it sounded far better on 4volts,really cool.

How'd it sound? I wouldn't expect undervolting a digital effect to sound pleasant if it worked at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
