Daisychain power question

Post by jrmy »

So I was poking around on the Subdecay site, and came across this warning (for the Blackstar): "If using a 'daisy chain' power supply all other pedals MUST be negative ground."

This caught my eye because I'm thinking of reintegrating my Turbo Rat onto my board (it's noisy, but it's my only pedal that isn't overwhelmed by my POG), and for power, the TR uses one of those weird little ProCo phone-jack dinguses rather than the old Boss center negative that every other pedal on my board uses.

Am I going to blow my board up if I power my TR with the same daisychain (the new Godlyke, btw) as the rest of my pedals?

I use a little lanilei reverb which runs off the same adapter. It is at the beginning of my daisy-chain (I have a one-spot) and everything works just fine. Everything still works as it usually does and nothing's blown up. Hope that helps!

Thanks, iamthesnow - good to know that my pedals probably won't blow up! I figured that they'd probably be fine, since I had never seen such a warning before.

So far, so good, though... the Turbo Rat and my B:assmaster really don't get along, but that's o.k. - not everything needs to stack. And who knows, I might come up with a use for the snarly, random, gutteral noise they make together...
