Boss BCB-60 pedal board issues

Bluesyzep · 03-03-2010, 08:03 PM

I just got my first pedal board today and barely got my pedals to physically fit. The combination of the Big Muff and Whammy took up a lot of room. It's not the prettiest but got everything plugged in the right order. The only significant problem is that the Big Muff is powered by a much smaller jack apparently and the Whammy is close but not quite the right size either. For now I can still power the Big Muff with a battery but have to run the adapter that came with the Whammy.

So I have a few questions. Are there plug adapters that are compatible with the Boss PSB-1U power supply? I'd like to get them all on the same power supply. Should I remove all the batteries (except the Big Muff)? Should I worry about the quality of the stock cables between pedals or are they a potential weak link in the signal chain?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I've found adapters at the chain stores Sam Ash and Guitar Center (made by one spot) that let me hook up all my EHX pedals. Always on the oddballs check to make sure your polarity is right.

I never had a problem with the stock cables and kept them when I moved to a bigger board.
