Ive got one of those SKB powered pedalboards. Is it possible to lop the tip off one of the power cords and rewire it with reverse polarity to power a PNP pedal?
From Zachary Vex: Only if it’s the only pedal you are powering with the power supply. if you are also using that same supply normally with other effects, you’ll be shorting + to – at the ground connection when you attach one pedal to another… think about it. the plus side is ground on the PNP box, and minus is ground on the others, then you connect the grounds together… fizzle! the only way to do it is to connect a second supply that allows you to make the negative connection on your PNP pedal BELOW ground level. so you can lop off a connector and reverse it to power a positive ground (PNP fuzz face) pedal, but it has to be connected to a different power supply.
