Where do you get a 9 volt battery snap adapter to dc power plug?

[spaz21387]

I have been looking for a adapter so I can plug my black russian big muff into regular wall power, but Havent had luck finding one where did you guys get them? I know some of the big muff owners on here have them.

I believe the "one spot" has an adapter that will fit...

One spot combo pack. Comes with a One Spot, daisy chain, and a bunch of different tips. 30 bucks.

I think Visual Sound has them (the same guys who manufacture the 1spot). Anyways, I ordered mine from a dealer in Norway.

EDIT: Ah, got beaten to it

I also have been doing some research and it says the russian big muff has reversed polarity will that cause problems or will i just have to re wire it?

Adaptors can be a very tricky item. I would start with a music store at the pedal counter and see what they have available. They might have an item listing on their computer with a list of adaptors that can be purchased through the company. One spot is a good idea, but I know that Korg, M Audio and some others make a specific type of input on the pedal that only their product adaptor will work. Try and fit any other adaptor into a Korg and you will be disappointed because it just will not fit the hole.

If anything, the music store can probably order the item for you, and when they deliver it, you can pick it up.

I do not think you should have a problem though and need to order something from the company. There is a One Spot that has extra stuff in it for pedals, so that suggests that pedals probably have universal inputs... But hey anything is possible!

Oh and if the adaptor does fit with your pedal, then make sure you have the right voltage and that the A, or MA (amps, miliamps) If you use an adaptor whose a/ma is not strong enough, then you will blow out the adaptor. So either get the right amount or more!

1 ma = 0.001 a
100 ma = 0.1 a
1000 ma = 1 a

Just a reference for you

I really dont think the black russian big muff draws much power is there any way to test? I just found the one spot battery snap adapter on amazon for 2.99 shipped so that has been ordered.

I think he wants one for the 9v battery snap, not the 3mm plug or whatever. In that case polarity is not an issue since you can't plug in a 9v snap backwards.

OH! I must of overlooked the battery snap part and only took the DC plugin into consideration from his description.

Now I am a little confused though.

A battery snap is that small thing that attaches the 9 volt to some wires and powers it via battery juice. If he is looking for a piece that plugs into a wall, then how does that function with a battery snap? The adaptor plugs into the area of battery snap where a 9 volt battery would normally plug in, and then goes to the wall...?

I want an adapter from the battery snap like the end thats on a 9volt battery to a jack to plug into a normal style wall plug like this... Amazon.com: Visual Sound Battery Clip Converter for 1 SPOT Black: Musical Instruments You guys pointed me in the right direction I think...

Imagine if you cut off the two circles on top of a 9V battery, attached wires which were then attached to a wall-wart. The wall-wart converts the electricity from the wall to a 9V current at whatever mA rating the transformer was designed to do.

I think some zvex pedals don't have AC connectors, so they made bottom plates to retrofit them with AC ability. These worked by connecting to the battery snap inside the casing.

Yep:

That is the adapter that will turn the barrel connector at the end of a 1-spot or 1-spot daisy chain into a male 9v connector. Correct.
