Hello! So Im in the middle of making a pedal board and i already have the patchbays pretty much finished and now i need a little power supplie box. So how could i make a daisy chain with FEMALE 9 volt inputs? So how would i wire it up?

Sorry, I don't quite understand the question.

Are you looking to have a series of power jacks on your patchbay for each effect with power "patch cords" to supply each pedal? If this is what you would like, all you need to do is to wire all the jacks (female) in parallel.

I hope you can add photos of your project to the pictures thread. 8)

Best wishes.

sorta like a regular daisy chain but with female outputs instead

Not sure what you have in mind, why would you want a daisy chain of female DC connectors, when the pedals have a female jack too?

sounds like more effort than it's worth... but just do as described above. from the source of your power, wire up all of the female sockets in parallel. the sockets will probably have 3 connection pins, probe it with your dmm if you can't see what goes to find the centre and outer connections while a plug is in it, since the switch will change things when nothing's plugged in... i can't see a reason for you to use the switch (?)

middle wires up to middles, and the outer wires up to the other outers. simple.
