G10 Conundrum

[Lee7uk]

As I have mentioned on other posts, I have just recently bought two G10's to replace my existing G30's.

 

 

Here is the problem I encountered today upon receiving my second G10. One G10 is used for bass guitar that is fine; however I had my second G30 sat within a Boss BCB pedal board taking power direct from the board's PSU. This is where my problem lies, the G10 base unit will fit in just fine, but due to the new unit taking power from a USB plug and not a regular 9v adaptor, I wondered what is out there to enable me to convert micro USB to 9v?

 

 

Can anyone shed any light on this?

 

 

By he way I am based within the UK.

 

 

Thanks

Look up "voltage step down converters". Find one that accepts 9v input, and has 5v output of at least 1A. Wire that in between your 9v pedalboard power, and your relay g10.

Thanks for that, I had a work with my tech and he said he can make something just like you mentioned in your post, so that is the next job.

 

Thanks

In the US, there are several multi-drop plug strips that have a USB port built in (like this one that I have: https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-3-Outlet-SurgePlus-Protector-BST300/dp/B00ATZJ5YS/ref=sr_1_38?ie=UTF8&qid=1467414619&sr=8-38&keywords=plug+strip+with+usb)

 

So you could plug your pedal board rig power plug into the Belkin, and plug the USB for the G10 into the Belkin as well and just avoid the USB wall wart that comes with it.
