Please help me out as I have managed to destroy an 81/85 set before due to my electric illiteracy. Did not shed a tear for those, but I would for this pedal.
So here's the deal:
I fell in love with the tc electronic sub n up. Wouldn't see heavy use, but in certain cases I want to use it. If I keep it in the closet it's never gonna happen, so I wanna keep it on my board. Its actually the mini version, so doesnt take up much real estate. My issue is that there are no more spots left on my Voodoo power and the pedal itself is so mini it has no space for battery. Dont want a bigger board and another power supply, also wanna avoid wallplugs/adapters. I tried a Dunlop adapter with one of my high gain pedals once and it was sooooo dirty that the pedal was unuseable. So never again, as I guess it doesnt matter where I introduce the noise in the chain, if its before the gain pedals, it'll be super noisy.
So I came up with the idea of an "outboard battery supply". Take the plug that would go into the pedal off of a daisy chain cable, hook it up with a battery clip, and put it in a plastic battery compartment (like to ones on guitars for active pups) under the board. The pedal is true bypass so I believe it shouldnt drain when not engaged and since it wont see heavy use, the battery should last realtive long.
Questions:
1.: Is it doable?
2.: If yes, how do I do it properly? What goes where to have the right polarity?
