Title: noob polarity pedal question!
Post by: njkmonty on August 23, 2011, 07:33:26 AM
apologise in advance! ??? :icon_redface:

before i fry my pedals, can some one put me at ease ......
if i use a simple true bypass diy looper, with all input/output ground jacks all connected obviously through the little aluminium enclosure
will i fry a pedal if I.....

have a pnp fuzz clone (with its own 9v wall wart )   through loop 1 and another (negative ground) standard pedal, ie tubescreamer or ce2 for example running through loop 2 .
Even if they have their own seperate power supplys  are there going to be issues even though the ground connectors from the sleeve all connect?

an example of looper is

You'll be fine if and only if they have their own separate power supplies, and share ONLY a ground.

If they work together fine now then they should work together fine using a true bypass looper.

ive never tried them together before either, only ever played fuzz by itself with nothing else connected!
btw thanks R.G for replying to my earlier messages!

i had gone through some of your other posts RG about surge pumps etc when daisy chaining, but i felt my query was still un answered, (through my eyes that is)
:icon_biggrin:

And thanks to Slacker for your response.It helps, not having to wait a week for responses.!
