    I think it is the Boss style 9V Adapter.

    No, that’s not right at all. All the Muffs have a 1/8″ mono jack for the AC adaptor. The easier ways to tell are pretty simple.

    #1) on/off LED. No vintage Muff had one. Unless someone added it, it’s a V9 NYC Muff.
    #2) There is a battery door on the back. No one can add [em]that[/em], and no vintage Muff had it.
    #3) The ‘hockey puck’ knobs. Not very vintage looking.
    #4) Look for extra labels above the Tone control. It could say ‘ON’, or ‘AC’ or ‘TONE BYPASS’. Thos are vintage, and not easy to do on a reissue to try to fool everyone.

    Now people can change the knobs or add an LED, but the battery door is a giveaway, as is the extra labels. A lot of work to look lousy, all in the name of trying to fool an unsuspecting buyer.

    update:
    At least i got the newest version of the NYC Big Muff straight out of the
    box and it got the standard boss style 9V adapter plug in. No 1/8″ mono jack.
