Strong match

Who this is for

  • Powering a single pedal without hunting down the right adapter
  • Replacing a missing power supply on an older effect
  • Feeding a pedal that takes an unusual jack size

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Powering a full board — this is not an isolated multi-output brick
  • Pedals requiring 12V or 18V
  • Players who need isolated outputs to kill ground hum

Carl Martin Powerjack 9V DC Power Supply construction detail

Detail 01

2.1mm jack, barrel negative / tip positive, red

Reversed from the Boss-style standard. Check your pedal's marking before plugging in or you can damage it.

Detail 02

2.5mm jack, barrel positive / tip negative, grey

The larger barrel used by some vintage and boutique pedals. Opposite polarity from the red 2.1mm lead.

Detail 03

Battery clip output

Feeds pedals that have no DC jack at all, through the 9V battery snap inside the enclosure.

Detail 04

1/8-inch jack, tip positive

Covers older effects that used a mini-plug for power instead of a barrel connector.

Detail 05

Four connector types on one supply

One adapter covers a mixed collection of pedals from different eras and brands.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Color-coded leads differ in polarity — match the marking on your pedal exactly
  2. 02One supply, not a daisy chain — check whether a splitter is included
  3. 03Confirm the mains plug matches your country's outlets

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this power my whole pedalboard?

It is a single supply, not an isolated multi-output unit. For a full board with digital and analog pedals side by side, use a dedicated power brick.

02Is it center negative like a Boss adapter?

The red 2.1mm lead is barrel negative, tip positive. The grey 2.5mm lead is the reverse. Check your pedal's polarity symbol before connecting.

03Can I use it on a pedal with no power jack?

Yes, through the battery clip lead, which connects to the 9V snap inside the pedal.

04Will it work with 18V pedals?

No. This is a 9V DC supply. Pedals that require 18V need their own higher-voltage adapter.
