DC adapter for Ashdown Pedals

Hey friends, I'm planning on buying the Ashdown Drive plus and seeing as how I hate 9V batteries with a passion (it seems ridiculous to me to have to pay like 5 dollars to play a couple of songs before it dies) I'm looking for an adapter to go along with it. I've been on many music retailer websites and even the Ashdown site and I cannot find one specific for it, so I'm assuming that either you are meant to buy one from a separate company or that the final version they made does not accept one. Can anyone shine some light on where, if possible, I can find an adapter for this pedal. Also I noticed in the manual it asks for a DC adapter, what is the difference between a DC adapter and an AC adapter...and what does "centre pin negative" mean?

From the manual:
"Supply
Internal 9v battery
External supply 9v DC adaptor. Centre pin negative."
 
Most pedals have this configuration, so any Boss power supply will work, though I would recommend something like the 1Spot/Godlyke Power All, as it will power this pedal, and any others you want to get too.

Check out the T-Rex Fuel Tank. I own one, and it's great and compared to other "power-stations" it's cheap too. At least here in Sweden, but it might be that T-Rex is danish.
