Question on polarity

[polens]

anong mangyayari kung sinaksak mo ang center -(negative) effects pedal sa  center +(positive) na adaptor?
kinakabahan na ako eh..

Dead pedal.  Don't do it.

sasabog yan., madadamay pati buong brgy. nyo... joke lang.,

hindi yan gagana..., baliktarin mo na lang yung polarity ng adaptor mo.

It may be ok now, but you'll kill it eventually.  Why do you think reverse polarity protection is built in with most stompbox builds?   I dunno about what you have, but the boston hm-200 I had before and Boss metal zone are both center negative.  Most PSU's are also meant for typical center negative operation, might wanna check with kenzu?

This. Madalang ako may nakikitang center positive na DIY PSU, if meron man, by request yun ng nagpagawa since mas standard na talaga ngayon yung center negative.

Also, usually iba ang DC jack type na gamit pag center positive, lalo na sa pedals..  Hindi yung conventional na 2.1mm.... yung parang maliit na stereo jack ang gamit...
