query on danelectro reel echo adapters

[holymountainman]

So i've been using 9volt batteries for it, but i found two adapters laying around that fit the plug in, but im afraid i might fry it if i turn it on with. Can someone tell me a little of what to look for on the back of the adapters i think they say 120VAC on them.

There will be adapter ratings on the danelectro somewhere, probably on the bottom.

The 120V AC just means you can plug them into a North American wall outlet. In order to use them, they should say the OUTPUT is 9VDC, with a mA rating no less than the mA rating written on the bottom of the pedal; also make sure the POLARITY (shown as + and - ) is the same on both the pedal and the adapter.

thanks i think both of them are something like 12vdc so i guess i cant use them. I've heard you can get some that work on Dan electros and bosses at Radioshack, they arent specifically made for them, but i hear they are like the "working man's" version of them.
