    Hello everyone!!!

    So I just picked up this 1981 MXR Phase 90 for a song but I completely forgot about the older male power supply plug until it showed up today. So I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me figure out how to change it to a more typical BOSS style 9V jack so it’s a little more pedal board friendly???


    Thanks in advance!!!

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s just a Center Positive jack, not positive ground like Germanium fuzzes.
      Oh no.....


      Oh Yeah!

        I believe it is safe just to use the polarity adapter on these.

          Yup. That adapter posted at the link is what you need. The pedal is positive tip (1/8") but the barrel connection is center negative. They have a center positive version for Line 6 pedals, L6 product code. The C35 is the correct one for what you need.

              I had an old Crybaby with the 1/8" jack and that adapter worked great. That is until someone stepped on the cables too close to the pedal and cracked the traces. Try as I might, I couldn't fix it. Ended up running it off battery until I sold it.
