I need a pedal power cable that plugs into the pedal at one end (right-angled) and is a 3.5mm mono jack (straight) at the other. Can’t seem to find one - does anyone know where I could buy it?

    Have you tried designacable?
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Thank you - might do that; there doesn’t seem to be one in the standard range. I’ve ordered a straight one in the meantime, I’ll see how I get on with that.

    This is the type of reason I’m sad about the demise of Maplins. If I needed something like this I could pop over in ten minutes and get all the parts I needed.

    I'll refrain from being "helpful" before the days first cuppa, and learn to read :)

    Argh. The suggested cables aren’t right. The DC power cable plug and the AC power cable plug aren’t the same. They look very similar, but the Digitech Whammy has a thicker pin in it, so a normal DC power cable doesn’t fit in it. The AC ones are normally red or have a red tip. Any advice from anyone? If anyone can find an adapter to convert from the DC plug to the AC plug that’d also be fine.

    I was under the impressions you're trying to daisy chain some pedals together. But now I'm confused as I've never encountered a 3.5mm AC power input.

    Are you 100% sure what you're doing is safe for the pedals you're hooking up?

    Yep, I have a Burkey Flatliner Pro multi power supply which includes an AC out. But the AC out socket is headphone jack socket (no idea why). I need the cable to convert that into the input for my Whammy 1. think I’ve found one now though - we shall see!

    It’s a Whammy 1 not an original Whammy

    Edit - oh, ok yes it is the original one. Thought it was a reissue!

    The Burkey Flatliner Pro is very quiet and seems to make the whole sound really crisp and responsive - the pedal lights are much brighter too; I think maybe the pedals were starved of power before. Can’t wait to plug the whammy into it too and dispense with the extra wall plug.
