owens hound Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I just got a Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Wah pedal off of ebay and want to get an adapter for it. Do I need to buy one from Jim Dunlop, EBO3 AC adapter, or can I buy a multi-volt type adapter and use it in the 9 volt setting?

UnderTheGroove_dup2 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 That should work. Just make sure to set the +/- correctly. There should be a diagram on the bottom of the pedal.

owens hound Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Thanks UTG, this will be a cheaper option to power the pedal. What adapters are any wah users using? Jason www.myspace.com/nobandatpresent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfonso Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I have it power chained with some Boss pedals with that multi plug power extension cord from Boss, but I had to shape one plug rubber part with a knife because the cry baby power input is a bit recessed in a narrower hole. It means however that it has the same power needs of Boss stuff, 9 volts DC with + in the tip...if I remember well.. Guess the Amp .... now it's finished... Here it is!

It would have been better to just buy a longer barrel connector and cut off the plug, solder in the thinner one, but... I also came up with a better solution. Since both my Boss TU-2 AND my Peterson Strobostomp (OBVIOUSLY..I don't use both at the same time. So anal retentive I am NOT...) have a "daisy chain out" for power. I made a longer than normal cable to go from the DC out on whichever tuner, out to the wah. It's cool for me because the pedalboard sits on my left, and this one power cable goes then from the tuner (far right upper on the pedalboard) over to powe the wah which is on my left on the floor (other side of the mic). That way other than the signal cables, I just plug in off of the already powered tuner to supply the wah, plus the DC cable I bought fits. When I had cut the one plug it still wasn't solidly connected. ==================================================== Check out my original music at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/jacker "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but not in practice."
