Joe -
Thanks for the information on the modification.
This improves the usage of the G10 BIG TIME for me. I moved the G10 to my pedalboard and power it from a power supply...works great.
I also agree with a poster who stated that this is delicate soldering work, however I did manage to do it even with my $7 Radio Shack soldering iron. (I did melt the casing a bit)
The only deviation I made was the following; I didn't want to unsolder the USB connector from the power converter board so I used a USB cable from a TC Electronic Toneprint pedal (I have multiple so I could definately hack one of them)
Here some pics;
I already toasted a few beers to you in my garage after the successful repair and improvement.
Cheers
Tom
