Can I connect a DC power supply to Line 6 Micro Spider with AC "port"?
So I (am totally new to this, just got a Squier guitar) ordered a Line 6 Micro Spider amp, usee, and without the cables. I bought a DC 9V 2A power supply, only to notice from the pics (the amp is yet to arrive) that it said AC. I asked at the store where i bought the power supply, and the guy who worked there told me it was ok to plug thr DC power cable to the AC "port" of the amp, but I am not completely sure about it. Anyone has experience with something similar?
Having read the output spec on their transformer incorrectly, never having seen a 2.1 mm power jack used for an AC input and that the amp will also run on six C-Cells: I made an erroneous assumption. (DUH/Old-Timers' Disease) Have to give Line 6 credit though. For the cost of one rectifier per unit, they've probably compelled (most) anyone purchasing any of the eleven products in their 9V line and not wanting to buy stock in a battery company, to pay an additional $39.99 for the PX-2G. SLICK! |
@amelio - Your amp only has one power supply port, designed to take the OUTPUT* plug of a wall wart AC/DC converter (ie: the PX-2g). The, "AC IN" labeling is an error and the company should made aware of THEIR confusion (AS IF they care, over there). *AC in / DC out, of course. |
