    What you need to know about power supplies for guitar effects pedals:

    Choosing the right power supply is vital. You need to make sure that you are not choosing a power supply that will over power and damage your effects pedals. Choosing a power supply that has too high of voltage can cause the electronic components to fry and burn.

    Macdaddy Music carries a variety of power supplies to help you get consistent power when you need it. We have power supplies for any guitar pedal you have.

    Some factors to consider when choosing a power supply for your guitar pedal:

    There are three main considerations when choosing a power supply.

    What are your pedal's power requirements?

    The majority of pedals on the market use an identical power supply that works easily from one to the next, but if you use that same power supply on the wrong pedal you can damage it.

    For example, most pedals from MXR and Electro-Harmonix will use a standard 9V center negative 2.1 mm barrel plug power supply, but if you try to use that same power supply on the Source Audio Ventris Reverb pedal you will run into problems.

    Additionally, some modern effects pedals require higher current and some pedals require AC power vs DC.

    How many guitar pedals are you powering and what are their voltage requirements?

    If considering a multi-pedal power supply, you need to decide if you want something simple like a daisy chain power supply or a multiple outlet power supply. If you need a multiple outlet power supply you need to decide if you need isolated outputs or not.

    The advantage of isolated outputs on a power supply is if you have a noisy pedal on one output that noise won't carry over to another output.

    What is the proximity to your power source?

    Most power supplies will require you to be plugged in to an outlet or extension cord of some kind. However, in recent years, some manufacturers have released great options for wireless, rechargeable power supplies, such as the Mission 529 series.
