how to charge other pedals with korg pitch black

Sign in to disble this ad
hello TBers, i tried running a few searchs with different combinations of words but i didn't find anything that i was looking for in terms of an answer, please redirect me if i'm wrong

i want to get a pedal board (pt junior ) and i know that i can power other pedals with my korg pitch black but i have no idea how and what i need to buy/use

i just wanna power a vt bass (maybe 2 in the near future , love that thing) and a bass big muff

You need a daisy-chain cable. It's like a bunch of the small-plug ends of a wall-wart supply all connected together. I believe Godlyke is one brand to look for. Boss may make one as well.

I really don't see the point in the power output from the Pitchblack. Why not just use a 9v supply with a daisy chain like the 1-Spot? I'd rather have my daisy chain running from the power source instead of a 200mA limited output from another pedal!

Only use I can see is if you wanted to power several pedals using one battery in the Korg?

I'm not aware of any pedal with a "power out" that lets you run other pedals via its battery. AFAIK the "output" is usually wired as a pass-through from the adapter input on such pedals.

For a small (or large) installation, I'd personally go with a 1spot combo pack, which comes with a 1spot adapter, a daisy chain and a bunch of adaptors to convert to different plug styles. This is a cheap and good solution. I've had no problems using the 1spot to power up to 16 pedals, plugged into 2 different amps, into a PA which routinely picks up AM radio on DI feeds... The only thing that brings the noise is when plugging my old zoom drum machine into the same daisy chain as my effects. I think this is more to do with the crappy zoom drum machine though.

The combo pack will also allow for future expansion - you realise that PT jr is going to look awfully bare, and you're going to need some stuff to fill it up, right? I'm thinking wah, looper, octave, another VT bass and you should just about be there
