Anyone know what power supply the Foxx Fuzz, Wah, Volume takes?

Would it take a standard 9v Boss type?

It is likely a std feed will fit it as these match 80% of most pedals.
Look on the pedal for some clue as to voltage and make sure pin in neg tip polarity. It is likely the mA draw is less >100mA like most basic pedals and wahs.
If the pedal has no info you might try looking up the manual, look under specs and note the current draw V and mA.
Caution are voltage and pin polarity as these can damage the pedal if wrong. The rule of mA is that you can have more than the pedal needs bit not less. Most basic brick ports and warts are 9v 100mA which is fine for a pedal at 9v even if it is only 20mA draw. Voltage must match and pin polarity must be correct, nearly all pedals are neg pin but there is the occasional odd one.

I know it's 9v DC but I don't know center negative or positive. I bet Foxx would know!

If nothing else go in there and check out the wiring path. Should be easy to see the common positive and neg from the battery as it relates to the jack. Most pedals are negative pin but some of the older pedals cannot take a wrong polarity goof, might hurt the pedal. As a last resort open that puppy up, wires are usually color coded so you should be able to tell based on what they used for the battery clip.

Do let us know what you came up with. So many ask something but never come back w a comment.

It takes a bog standard boss power supply. Finally got ahold of one of these last week, gotta' say, I'm impresed with the unit, got a nice bassy tone to it, superb pedal, highly recommended.

Thanks for the return, it might help someone in the future. 95% of all power supply feeds are <100mA 9v negative pin. I have like 5 pedals that are not but in general the smaller pedals are usually of that range.


Hard to really label any pedal these days as complete crap, 21st century tech is quite well established with many of the short comings of the old vintage years overcome and done better.
Most of the bucks I find these days goes for the direction of more "boutique" pedals of custom designers who usually bench tech their own innovative designs rather than just copy and clone an old circuit. You sort of get what you pay for these days although one does occasionally find a gem for a low price. I have gotten into a few of the better builders these days and there is a difference.

My Wampler Ecstasy drive was $200 which seems a lot but there are three completely different diode toggle circuits in there with a primo op amp, ranges from total clean to gained up while remaining transparent to the real tone of the guitar just enhances it. Each mode is like a different drive pedal so 3 for $200 is really not so much for what you get. Another cool one I hear raves about is the Boiling Point Overdrive, big bucks but I hear it is really something.
