You can use one w/ a higher mA rating as long as the voltage and polarity are correct.

Or you could use a 1 Spot.

Hi there, newby alart here..  :thumb:

Is it possible to power the Memory Boy with a 1Spot (or in my case: Cioks Big John)??
That would be nice.
Just a normal Boss style (center negative) plug?

As Flick says: you can use a 1spot, don’t know of the Big John, but as long as it is 9v and has enough mA it would do the work!

The Big John is sort of a luxe 1Spot (more like the voodoo lab pedal power).

I just wanted to verify if there aren’t any negative site-effects when hooked up a shared power supply. I also read a post that there will be negative impact on your effects chain when no seperate power supply is used for the Memory Boy.

The Big John has 600mA output power (googled that), so as long as your pedal rig is underneath that, you will have enough power and no problems..

In intentionally run my Memory Boy off a G-bus 8 supplying only 9.0 Volts instead of the 9.6 Volts that the Memory Boy power adaptor supplys.  I find I can get longer delay times (at the expense of fidelity) with the lower voltage.

The G-bus 8 supplies 1700 mA, which is plenty for my system.
