Question for guys with miJ HM-2's

[ratsapprentice]

What are you using to power them?
At the moment I'm using rechargeable 9volts for my TS, but it's a pain in the ass and I want to change to wall power.
I think that the old boss pedals are incompatible with newer psu's, unless you daisy chain them with another pedal. I'm just looking for confirmation on this, or other options. Cheers.

I'm also wetting my pants waiting for this to arrive :Spin:

You need a PSA adapter.

just 9v batteries. I have a power adapter that has selectable voltage as well that works as long as I switch the polarity to negative

Ubr is right. You'll probably need an ACA adapter if you want to leave them stock. I rewired all three of my HM-2's last night, 2 Taiwan and 1 Japan, to fit with current 9VDC adapters....ie sleeve ground - power center.

You have to unsolder D1 and R2 then reverse the leads on the DC jack and run a jumper between 4 and 5. I'll take a pic if you want and it helps. I'd also recommend connecting ground on the 2 TS jacks. It's like taking the blanket off. If you get especially solder-y replace the opamps with TLM072's, it makes it noticeably more articulate and grindy.

What's wrong with 9v batteries? It's even more old school

Wouldn't batteries make it technologically advanced, since it's then wireless?
