Do you have an old adapter with a 9v battery connector laying around? Well set the multi adapter to 9v and then connect it like you would a 9v battery and then put the pedal on the board and see if it works. It worked for me. :D I know Guitslinger needed some advice. so I gave you guys some. Also where can I get Zenith TV's? Here in Australia we have none :(

... using one of these and making sure you have your polarity done correctly.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I don't know where you got the idea that I was looking for advice-maybe you dreamed it...lol,I already have 3 or 4 of these old adapters.They were being made up decades ago before effects pedals even got the 1/8" inputs for male end adapter plugs,there were several companies producing them.Mine were made up by a local tech but I don't really trust them lately and use batteries instead in my vintage effects because adapters this old may have a nasty fashion of having a power surge hence burning the guts out of a Vox Clyde McCoy that's currently worth over $1,000 or a vintage Rams Head Big Muff Pi that's also going for over 1/2 that.I have one that's about 15 years old so that should be still safe to use.
