Can you use any 9 volt AC adapter for a guitar pedal?
While most guitar pedals only run on 9V, some pedals are designed to accept higher voltages. ... When a pedal says “9 – 18V”, it means it can accept voltages anywhere within that range. That means you can use a 9V power supply, a 12V supply, or an 18V supply without any problems.
Can I use a 9.6 V power supply for a 9v pedal?
You will be fine. A fresh 9volt battery actually puts out 9.6 volts .
Can you use a 5v adapter for 9v?
As long as the voltage is the same on the adapter and on the device (also, I have 9V DC and 9V AC adapters, do not mix these up) and be sure the current required is less than the amount that the adapter can source otherwise you risk overloading the power supply.
Can I use an 18V power supply for a 9v pedal?
Generally you can safely plug an 18v pedal with 9 or 12 V but there is a good chance that it will work poorly... (although it might give an interesting distortion effect). If an 18V ped has digital save data, better not chance it. You may corrupt your sweet patch or loop.
