No response under Vintage pedals subforum, so trying it here …

Am setting up a pedalboard for the first time in years—my problem is that while my Behringer Reverb and EQ pedals take a modern standard barrel jack, my Ibanez vintage 9v CP-835 Compressor and PT-909 Phaser have the old 1/8' headphone style jacks.
I have ordered a Mr.Power Guitar Effects Power Supply Adapter 9V DC 1A (1000mA) with Daisy Chain Cord Cable Free Insulated Cap (9V Adapter + 3 Way Cable) which looks like it would do the trick, but the CS-505 Stereo Chorus also needs a 1/8v jack and I'm having trouble tracking one down.

It seems as if the Hiree Guitar Pedal Power Supply Adapter Station Distributor 10 Isolated DC Output for 9V/12V/18V might let me do it all with one power supply, but I can't get my head around what is the correct barrel to 1/8" converter to use. The Hiree comes with 2 x converters which appear to be positive tip.

The Ibanez pedals say negative center, but all the converters I've found say positive tip—some forums say this would be correct … I don't get it :roll: :roll:

A second question—I have the chain set up as EQ > Compressor > Phaser > Chorus > Reverb. Does this sound good? I don't use distortion or overdrive, and chances are I wouldn't run the Chorus and Phaser together.

I'll be using the pedalboard for both electric guitar and Takamine Classical/electric, obviously through different amps.

Yay! Got it figured out with help from Sweetwater and Ibanez—vintage Ibanez pedals take negative center power supply with positive tip 1'8" plug.
Hooked it all up, fired it up … bliss! Next I'll try running it all through the effects loop, see how that might be different.
The Hiree Power Supply even has 3x 2-pin sockets for plugging in extra pedals, or in my case, iPad and music stand light if they run out of charge.
