Title: What would be best ac adapter jack to use?
Post by: Tony on August 27, 2004, 01:07:39 PM
Hi,

  Just wondering about the ac adapter jacks. I noticed in Radio Shack they have some marked size "N", or "M"., etc. What would be best, and what does the Boss adapter use?

Thanks again,
Tony

I haven't seen other people doing this, but I personally use 2.5x5.5 jacks for 9V pedals and 2.1x5.5 jacks for 18V pedals so that the 18V adapter doesn't fit into the 9Vs. Avoids setting off my smoke detectors...

Good Idea Sam !
I order from Mouser, they got a lot of different style's of jack's and feeder cord's with right angle plug's,
