Hi all,
Anyone out there know the inner and outer diameters of the M-Floor's power plug?

Thanks in advance.

You need to buy a new DC plug ?

If no answer , why don't you buy a digital caliber , not expensive and useful all of your life.

Thanks, stratele52.
I guess I was just hoping someone already knew the measurements.
I've got a bunch of 12v DC power supplies that would readily power the M-Floor but they have the wrong size connectors.

If you are lucky , somebody know which one is the good one .

A digital caliper is a very handy tool! If you're in the USA, check out Harbor Freight Tools. They sell them in a variety of sizes and for great prices.
I have a box of those power supply cables and connector tips in the garage! Not only are they varied sizes, they're not all wired the same! Some use the outer sleeve for Positive and the inner tip for Negative.

I don't like the digital. The batteries were always dead. I love the dial types!

For sure!
I use it my work... and in my play ;)
I do 3D CAD design for a living and for some reason I went through a phase of modeling my gear :roll:

...and then for even more fun 8) I modeled it in tread-plate.

It look a "standard" to me . My effect pedals , MXR , Boss and Fultone use this plug .

Don't you try it first ?

Well kids, I decided to take a risk. A calculated one but a small risk nonetheless.

From having owned a couple of old routers and DSL modems, I noticed that most, if not all of them use 12 volt 2 amp switching power supplies. 1 ampmore powerful than the one Fender supplies for the Mustang Floor. No matter, the Floor will only take as much amperage as it needs (600ma). After soldering the right size barrel connector onto one of the AC adapters I have, I now have a spare adapter for my Mustang Floor! Woohoo!
