Hello

I got asked to build a pedal that takes a standard 9V DC input jack, but was curious if there could be an output 9V DC Jack to not use up all is his power supply leads? I thought it was interesting idea.. like a daisy chain inside of the pedal.

- How to do this safely?
- What plug could I use? Based on room in the enclosure, I would want something similar to my input DC, which has the external nut

Thanks!

As far as I know, the simplest way is just to install two identical DC jacks and wire them in parallel. Either could be used for power in or out. There are probably ways to add protection components, but if you're just looking to duplicate a daisychain internally, that's it.
