... and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I opened it up to make sure there wasn't a yucky old battery in there - it's been in the garage for over 15 years. Apparently none the worse for wear either, I popped in a 9V battery and off it went sounding as good as ever. Problem is, I stopped using it over 2 decades ago because it has no 9V jack for a power supply. I hated using batteries for stuff even back in the 80's. Can a DC input be installed?
Sure, or there are even converters that latch on to the existing battery jack and have a standard power socket on the other end. Can't recall where I saw it though.
The one spot adapters come with an attachment. You'd likely have to leave the back off though, to let the cable have access to a power chord.
Yeah I cut a small notch in my pedal between the pedal body and the battery cover so I could feed the cable out and put the cover on it.
This is the actual one I purchased. http://a.co/6rlpFmC I didn’t used the 9v plug in wall adapter only the small adapter it came with.
The sax player in my band had one of these, all beaten up but still worked. I cleaned it up and gave it back to him as I liked it on guitar but not bass, and he got $225 for it. For that reason and because a battery will last about 500-1000 hours in it, I wouldn't bother modding it.
{} My Truetone CS12 came with one of these, that plug right into the battery jack itself. If you are in Saskatchewan, Canada, it is yours!
Well... I already filed a triangular gap in the case so that the battery cable could be on the outside, so I imagine that it is "modded" enough to already be devalued. And to be fair, it can't be worth that much - what are we talking here, $150 - $200? I think I'd rather keep it, mod it, and use it. However, I'm also open to offers...
