12 volt?

The micro br really eats batteries. I had  hoped to use it where I can't get anything else than 12 volt. I can't find any boss adaptors. Has anyone found 12 volt adaptors that work with the br? It is either that or getting batteries that I can charge on 12 V.

So basically you want to convert 12 volts DC to 9 volts DC, right? That could be done with a very simple circuit. Powerstream makes adaptors like this but they are out. You can check http://www.powerstream.com/dc6.htm

Or you can build one yourself:

I'm using an old adapter rated at 5 VDC, 1 A but the real output is 9 VDC. So it works very well. I just had to change the polarity. I didn't want to spend more than 20 euros in a Boss adapter.

I made  the salesman throw the adapter in
-the model PSA-120S is
9v 0.5A 4.5 watt-as long as the polarity is right for the plug, the adapter should work-
i wanted the boss adapter so i wouldn't risk voiding my warranty

But I think madrab doesn't have 120 or 220 volts so he can't use Boss PSA.
