Is it a seperate supply or a hardwired mains lead?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alteredsounds Posted September 3, 2007 Members Share Posted September 3, 2007 I think that pedal runs on 18v, throw away the US power adapter if you got one with it because otherwise you will need to buy a step-down mains transformer. Just get an 18v dc adapter from somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
