9v to USB converter

Hi,

The thing I'm missing right now on my pedalboard is an USB port I can power from my 9v 450mA power supply.

I know, the Bright Switch exists, but ideally would like a more simple pedal, i.e. without a footswitch, just with one or two USB outputs (I need 5v 1A from one output, other one is optional). Also not sure how the Bright Switch will perform with a 450mA 9v power -- will it give me 1A in the always-on port?

Around the net there are posts like "DIY" and different experiences from people who did it, so the result really ends up to specific components.

Any other alternatives around? Just to sum in up: I need a converter that accepts 9v 450mA and outputs 5v 1A on USB port.

Thanks

 

thanks. but I can use a Y cable for joining two isolated outputs on my power supply. I actually have two 450mA outlets available, so in that case that could be 8W. in that case (9V 900mA) such a thing exists?

 

thanks anyway, this really helped me in my expectations.
actually I have a USB AC adapter (I use it for my wireless). and have an isolated pedal power supply for my pedals.

my actual goal is to make it simpler and somehow connect the USB-powered wireless to my pedalbord power supply, avoiding using the second cord from electric outlet to my pedalboard.

 

I don't quite understand how this device could help me. adding outlets and USB directly to my pedalboard? uhm, my power supply (ISO-Brick) has a quite long cord with a 18v/2A transformer at the plug, so my initial idea was to use that cord and somehow connect my USB device to my pedalboard power supply outlets.

however, it seems like for this setup I need both the Bright Switch and a double-current cable connecting two outputs, so it seems like a more messy and complex setup than I have with 2 cables to AC from my pedalboard, so I'd better leave everything as is. or upgrade to wireless than can directly utilize my pedal board power.

 

this actually was my problem of googling existing adapters. when I'm trying to find step-down 9v to USB adapters, Google shows me a lot of step-up 5v to 9v adapters and nothing more.

I have a RockBoard LT XL powerbank that has both 9v and USB outputs and I use it for my tiny pedalboard and short gigs. but for my big board I need 12v as well and I don't really trust the battery-powered power supply to last long.

maybe better power supplies will chime in someday, but as for now I think that the easiest way is just to upgrade the wireless to that one that uses standard pedalboard supply. or just leave two cords running from it, that's even easier.

 

yup, the Line 6 G10 receiver is stated to run at 5v 1A (and on Line6 forums people say not to use lower current for it).

 

guys, I actually need not to plug in a 9v pedal to USB powerbank, but to plug a USB-powered device into a 9v power supply. will that adapter work like that?
