What Ac/Dc adapter do I use with my vintage original Electric mistress because I want to use an adapter with it (it is the 18v version) and not batteries.
December 22, 2008 at 1:18 pm #89462The EH ManModeratorYou’ll need an 18vdc adapter w/ a 3.5mm plug, tip positive. 100mA is plenty of current. You could also use the EHX US18DC-500.
December 22, 2008 at 5:06 pm #89472TheFloydGiverMembercould a regular dunlop 18v adapter work???

December 22, 2008 at 8:12 pm #89495TheFloydGiverMemberwhat about the ehx 24v adapter that can be used with the deluxe http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/ElectroHarmonix-24V-Power-Supply?sku=336051

so is there any chance of it frying my mistress with the 18v wire included and if so then what else can I use???

what if the tip is positive and the rod inside the tip is negative???
