had this for awhile, tried to read up on it, got nowhere fast. anyone know how I can use this in a chain of just 2 or3 pedals? I can use a 9volt, but, any other ways?

Yes. Truetone and other power supply makers make a polarity reversing adapter plug. I know one comes in the Onespot kit. I have one of those reverse pedals and it worked fine with that with all the other pedals in the chain being normal.

Could you also just open it up and reverse the wires on the power connector?

My experience was that I couldn’t use this in a chain, like a One Spot, even with a reverse polarity plug. I used it with a dedicated outlet power supply like a Voodoo Lab Power 2 Plus and a reverse polarity cable.

Pretty sure you can't use it in a "simple" chain of other standard-polarity pedals because the shared ground will screw things up. Something like the Pedal Power units from Voodoo Labs (or Cioks, too, and some other good brands) have isolated-transformer outputs, which is what you would need to keep the positives, negatives, and grounds separated in their correct places.

But isn’t that essentially what a reverse polarity adapter for a One Spot (or similar) is doing?
