AC adapter question...

[Essthreetee]

I only have two pedals...a Korg Pitchblack tuner and a VT Bass...I really am liking the VT so it tends to stay on most of the time...I would like to have a plug running both of them and the Pitchblack allows a power out. My question is, if I get the Korg's AC adapter, can I power the VT with it's power out? And if so, where do I get a single plug to go from the Pitchblack to the VT?

I hope this makes sense, I know what I am trying to say...but don't know if I am getting that across....

Yep, you can. You don't even need to go through that power out jack on the Pitchblack.

Go to your local guitar shop and see if they carry a daisy chain cable. If you really want to use that power out jack, get a Boss brand daisy chain, but honestly, I'd go for the other type that Visual Sound (1 Spot) and Godlyke make. Not only are they more convenient, but you can plug the daisy chain directly into the adapter and power multiple pedals that way.

Honestly, DC out jacks on tuners are pretty useless when you look at what's on the market. The same thing can be accomplished in more convenient ways.

Both the VT Bass and Pitchblack use very little current (check their manuals to see exactly how many mA they use) and run on the same type of 9VDC supply, so you have nothing to worry about. If you plan on powering more pedals with the same adapter, I'd suggest doing a little research in this forum so you know what to keep in mind before trying to power a lot of pedals.
