Reverse Polarity? STAGG Reverse polarity 9-volt – 1A AC adapter for effect pedals
In the context of the PSU-9V1AR-UK power supply, “reverse polarity” refers to the orientation of the power plug’s electrical connections—specifically, where the positive (+) and negative (–) charges are located on the barrel connector.
Most guitar pedals and audio devices use a 2.1mm barrel connector with center-negative polarity, which means:
The outside (sleeve) of the plug is positive (+)
The center (tip) of the plug is negative (–)
This is called reverse polarity because it’s the opposite of many standard power adapters that use center-positive polarity (where the tip is + and the sleeve is –).
Why It Matters:
If you use a power supply with the wrong polarity, you can:
Damage your pedal or device
Cause it not to power on
Void warranties on some equipment
The PSU-9V1AR-UK is designed with center-negative polarity, making it compatible with the vast majority of guitar pedals, including popular brands like BOSS, MXR, TC Electronic, and Electro-Harmonix.
Tip:
Always check your pedal or device for a small diagram (⚫–⊖–⚪ or similar) near the power input that shows the required polarity. If it shows center-negative, the PSU-9V1AR-UK is the right choice.
