Detail 01
Parallel DC cord
One plug into the supply, several plugs out to pedals. All outputs share the same power, not separate isolated ones.

BOSSPCS-20A PARALLEL DC CORD
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Black parallel DC cord from BOSS for splitting one power supply across several pedals. Wiring, not a sound device.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Feeding several pedals from a single adapter on a small board
- Cleaning up a board that currently runs multiple wall warts
- Players who want the same brand cord as their BOSS supply
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Boards needing isolated outputs to kill ground hum
- High-draw digital pedals that overload a shared supply
- Anyone whose pedals use mixed voltages or reverse polarity
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Shared, non-isolated outputs
Pedals sit on a common ground, which is the usual cause of hum when mixing digital and analog units.
Detail 03
Black
Disappears against a black pedalboard and dark cabling, so runs read cleanly on a lit stage.
Detail 04
$31.99
Cheaper than adding a second power supply, more than a no-name daisy chain.
Detail 05
Accessory, not an instrument
Judge it on plug fit, cable length and strain relief. It contributes nothing tonally.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Add up every pedal's current draw and compare it to your supply's rating
- 02Power supply and pedals are separate; this is only the splitting cord
- 03Fixed spacing between plugs may not reach a spread-out board layout
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many pedals can I run off it?
Limited by your power supply, not the cord. Total current draw of all connected pedals must stay under what the supply delivers, or pedals will glitch.
02Will this cause hum?
It can. Parallel cords share one ground across pedals. If you already hear hum with a daisy chain, an isolated supply is the fix, not another cord.
03Does it include the power supply?
No. This is the cord alone. You still need an adapter that meets the combined voltage and current needs of the pedals you connect.
04Can I mix different voltage pedals on it?
No. Every output carries whatever the supply sends. Pedals needing a different voltage or reverse polarity need their own supply.
