Electro Harmonix Power Options?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have an EH pedal that says not to use one of the daisy chain power supplies on it (why do they do that?), and I use my Boss LS-2 to power my other pedals.

Here's my question. Can I use one of the 9 volt adapters for the daisy chain cord to hook it to the EH 9V battery clip?

I'm trying to get out of buying a separate power supply for my EH pedal(s).

Which EHX pedal is it? I know the Q-Tron has a very unorthodox power requirement and can only use the power supply it came with.

It's the Bass Blogger.

I also have the Bass Big Muff on the way.

Any old Boss power adapter run by it's lonesome will work with the Blogger. I don't know why it wont work with the others, but I suspect it is more spite than any other reason. Muff can be chained IIRC.

Just so I don't have to start a new thread, can a microPOG be chained?

where do you guys get your adaptors to power some EH pedals (small stone, big muff etc) that use the "male" (as i would call them) power plugs? I have a one-spot to power my board, and the voltage requirments are the same (9V), but it needs a different plug!

Both OneSpot and Godlyke make conversion plugs for their daisychains. That's what I would suggest.

Yeah, I use these to power power a Big Muff, BBE green screamer, and Micro Qtron from my Boss tuner, never had a problem.

So, back to my original question . . .

Can I use the one spot 9 volt adapter to run the Blogger off the daisy chain?

No, the blogger cannot be used on a daisy chain at all. It must be powered by battery or its own power supply. If you have a power supply with isolated outputs, that would be fine. The OneSpot chain won't work.

Yes, a one spot can power a blogger. No, no other pedals can be powered off the one spot at the same time.

I just got a EHX Bassballs, and it also uses that a crazy plug. I just got a 1 spot 9v clasp adapter that plugs into my boss daisy chain.
