Can I run a 12v pedal with a 9v power source?

Just get a proper power supply dude.

I have a Trutone power brick. Said pedal is not on that board. It is just a free-standing random pedal.

Just get a proper clue dude.

Unless it's such a rare item as to make the cost prohibitive, I would just get the correct power supply.

If you have a proper power supply then hook it up to the pedal. Then you know if it's working correctly and sounds the way it should.

I have one.

Like i said, just get one of these to plug into your 9v wall-wart. This way you can run a few analog pedals if needed, and maybe a digital or two depending on the draw and power's rating (200/300/400 mv).

As long as you have at least one standard 9v pedal anywhere within the chain it will make the old 12v Boss ACA pedal run properly.

I have a few of those laying around. to a problem. Let me check it out.

FYI - tested another 12v; No sound, no LED, but I get a digital bleat. So it is definitely those AC units.

You keep saying 12V, AC or DC? An pedal that needs and AC adapter may probably run on a DC adapter, but not the other way around. If it's a vintage pedal, why take chances, just get the right one.

It is from the 90's. Not that "vintage" LOL

My Decibel Eleven Hot Stone Deluxe has two variable outputs.

I have one too and it's great .
I can run a Tascam CD-GT2 Phrase Trainer, to jam along with on a extra Crate Power Block or learn music with .
The CD-GT2 uses 5 volt of power and I used the Hot Stone Deluxe's 5-9 volt adjustment knob to power that Tascam CD-GT2 device .

The DE Hot Stone Deluxe also powers my DE Loop Expander, that is designed for 9 volts , but I have been using the Hot Stone to pump in 12 volts and it works just fine .

I knew a fellow who had a similar issue
his 12 volt pedal didn't work with his 12 volt supply

The multeffects pedal wanted 12v ac not dc

Worked just fine with the correct power

I have had a boss DR drum machine that listed a 14 vdc power requirement but worked just fine with a 12vdc

My Behringer FC volume pedal wants 12dc or else

Iirc some of the older pedals sometimes took a positive tip and not a negative tip......or vice versa.

Some power supplies are opposite of what you may need. So even though they may be 12v, and they may fit in the hole....they could be wired backwards for a specific application.

I know the Line 6 DL4, a very popular pedal, is wired 'backwards' from convention.
