    Hi Gents…

    Newbie here too. I’m also the proud owner of a “green” 18 volt EM, that I purchased directly from Howard Davis himself last fall. He’d modded it to fix the volume drop, cleaned and repainted it and even lacquered the case. It’s beautiful and sounds even better than the one I bought in 1978, that fell completely apart in 1983 or so from my abuse of it. If I’d only known!! I also had an LPB1 somehwere around 1972-3, and an early generation Small Stone also.

    As for my EM…I’m also having trouble finding the correct adapter, 18 volt, 3.5 mm pin, positive tip. I see that Marco found one a month or so ago and wondered if that suppier is someone I could reach online, or if anyone else knows where I could find one via the web. I’ve searched but had no luck yet.

    Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide…

    HI, I’ve bought on ebay a PCIOKS Baby Power supply with 9->18V converter cable, but there are other 18v good product (dunlop, EH, powerbrick…) maybe you have to adapt the jack. I think a good generic but stabilazed (?) power supply will be fine and cost much less.
    I’ve the EH old small stone too, GREAT! and also russian version, great too!
    ciao!

    Cograts. The old greeny Mistress is the best. I have the Deluxe as well, but I really like the old 18v Mistress. I use a Barge VB jr. mixer with mine so I can mix it in with my clean or distorted signal from my Muffs. I usually keep it about 50% in the mix.

    HI, thanx for the support: I’ve learnt the basic of testing and tested the polarity (with two batteries). Centre TIP is positive, everything OK wirh the adaptor!
    The mistress now is running ok, with the normal side effects: little volume drop, some hiss (?) noise, but as I’m a basic player, no great problem. When I record with a PC I try to optimise effect chain with just the pedal needed and dedicated power supply, no amp. The sound will be not so giant, but is quite pur and noiseless.
    Thanks to this forum, very usefull.

    HELLO,
    I FINALLY A 18 VOLT ADAPTOR FOR MY E-MISTRESS!
    Please:
    1) can someone confirm me the centre tip is positive?
    2) is there a simply way to test the polarity of the power supply (without using the mistress of course!) I’ve a simple standard tester, nothing more, and poor esperience…
    Thanks a lot for any kinfd suggestion, best regards.
    Marco
