What's Hot

Looking to sell a rocktron banshee pedal on behalf of a friend but want to make sure it safe before listing.

It's a 110v pedal but was supplied with a ac-ac converter block (see picture) with a 3 pin plug so it can be used in the UK . 

It comes with its original 2 prong pedal but wanted to make sure before listing. 

Thanks

    No photo of the stepdown converter? You can't plug that unit directly into the UK mains, it's 120V only.

    You would be better getting a proper 230V 9vAC power supply, although it will work with a stepdown unit as well.

  • Thanks, it was just supplied with the two units.

    The original 2 prong power supply and the ac-ac converter. 


    I have not attempted to plug either in.

    The second one is the right one.They are both AC-AC.

    Don't plug the other one in with any kind of plug adaptor, it would need a stepdown transformer.

  • So using the one below direct without an step-down converter be OK?
