Members StevoHuff Posted October 26, 2006 Members Share Posted October 26, 2006 It currently has the battery clip on it, and I'd like to modify it to be powered off of a standard boss style jack. How do I go about doing this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fiery Furnace Posted October 30, 2006 Members Share Posted October 30, 2006 If you won't want to use the battery connection at all anymore, you could probably just solder the battery leads onto an AC adaptor jack, being sure to observe polarity. Depending on what power supply you use you might have to solder a resistor in line (if you used something like, say, the older style Boss adaptor). Or you could just use this for an easy no-solder solution: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevoHuff Posted October 30, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hey man, that's what I'm using right now. It's pretty noisy, and when I step on the muff, a really loud static noise can be heard (I'm assuming it's because I'm stepping on the battery adapter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fiery Furnace Posted October 30, 2006 Members Share Posted October 30, 2006 You could maybe rewire it internally? If it's noisy on a power supply, it's noisy on a power supply - where you run the wires probably won't change it much. You could just drill a hole in the back of the muff and run the wires inside the pedal to stick out at the back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Christobevii3 Posted October 30, 2006 Members Share Posted October 30, 2006 My 1 spot adapter pack came with a deal that is a battery clip to boss style plug. Before i had those i had taken an old broken pedal and rigged something similar to that on my double muff. If you want to buy the clip thing i could sell it, or all the connectors together.

Members Lanefair Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 With the right DC jack socket, you could keep the battery and have the option of using one or the other. Battery positive goes on the inner lug. Run a red wire from where the battery positive met the big muff board, to the outer lug on the dc jack. Run a black wire from where the black battery wire met the board, to the perpendicular lug on the dc jack, then run the black battery wire to the ring lug on the input jack. This way the battery will be cut off whenever a power supply is plugged in, and it will also be cut off if you don't have a audio jack cable plugged in.

I think too much of a draw creates a ground loop, so i put my boss me 50 on another one spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
