EHX Bass Micro Synth power supply?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi guys

I recently picked up a Electro Harmonix Bass Micro Synth for cheap, as it was untested. I know "untested" sometimes means "tested and NOT working", but in this case I might have gotten lucky. It seems to work, at least somewhat.

My question is, what power supply should I be using? It came with a generic 13.5 VDC supply, that seems unlikely to be correct.

It would appear there were multiple versions, from the original with an AC cord, to the new one with 9V Boss style supply.

This one is in the larger sheet metal box, with a 2.1mm barrel jack for the power supply (no marking for what kind of adapter) and slide switch - I'm thinking it might want the EH 24V power supply, but I'd like to confirm if possible, before hooking one up.

Thanks
Sam

The reissue takes a 24v power supply and I suggest getting the correct one from EHX. MF carries a correct replacement 10 bucks is pretty good.

Careful though - if it's one of the more recent, XO sized versions with the green/black graphic, it takes a 9V and is not daisy chainable. You don;t want to plug a 24V adapter into one of those!

Thanks!

It's not the XO version, the older big box. I'll order a 24V adapter

Thanks again!
