Taking Pedals to the US

Post by thickarms »

Hi all,

When it comes to pedals and electronics I'm totally clueless. I'm going over to NY to play a few dates next month and have a couple of questions. I'm flying over with my pedals and my guitar and hiring/borrowing a head and cab whilst i'm there. I'm currently powering 5 of the 6 pedals on my board from a powerbrick and the other pedal has it's own supply (as recommended by the builder). Due to the voltage different in US sockets, will I be able to run my pedals through the same power supplies just with a UK to US plug adapter?

Sorry for the noob question! :oops:

If the powerbrick can accept 110V input, yes.

Otherwise, no.

the brick will convert 240v AC into 9V DC via an internal transformer. you'll need a supply that can convert 110v to 9v.
