Hey All,

My wife told me i could pick out a up two cheap pedals as a surprise. I'm interested in looking at the behringer vintage phaser and ultra chorus. What has me concerned is that these are supposed to take a power adapter with a NEGATIVE tip. Is it correct that most power adapters now are positive tip?

I have the Musicians Gear PBR-6 pedalboard. I saw another thread on the for sale where a guy was selling his board with some behringer pedals. Could anyone tell me what type of tip comes with the power connectors on this?

I don't want to buy something and immediately break it.

Thanks!

I have a power block for my pedals and they all have the inside as negative and the sleeve, positive

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Yeah, the vast majority of pedals today are negative center. I do have one pedal that is positive center, an 80's ProCo Rat.

I use a One Spot to power all my pedals. It is negative center, however they give you two adapters that convert the center to positive.
