I have an old wah that does not have the AC adapter plug. I remember seeing that there's a clip on that attaches to the 9v connectors with a female ac connection on the other end so one can connect an ac adapter. Anyone has done this mod and where do I get the clip?

Visual Sound makes them for their 1-Spot - I've seen these in local shops, but MF has them for $2.99 -

Yea, that's it. Couldnt find at Radio Slack. Now if MF has them, my local GC might have them too. I'll check them this weekend.

Thanks man.

I have one from a kit I bought at G.C. So they do have them. Just not sure if they have them seperate or not.

Well there's an update for you guys.

GC on 14th St NY didnt have it, they said most likely online order only.

So, I went to Radio shack, picked up a 9v clip and a female ac plug and soldered the + and - wires to the clip. Pedal is hooked up and working well now. Of course I bypassed the on/off switch, these old Nu Wa pedals have an on/off on the side in addition to the stomp switch.

On another note, I use a 9v ac adapter with a multi ac plugs connector so I can connect all my pedals to it. Sorta like the one spot adapter but home made. I think I maxed it out however, it takes 4 pedals real well but when I plug a 5th one it starts sucking. Guess I'm drawing too much amps.
