 Hi,

does anybody know if there is some DC filtering (or other processing) going on inside:



?

I'd like to know if (or how) could be the PSU used directly to feed pedals.

Cheers, T.

IIRC it's just a bridge, no filter and daisy chaining...

Did you find my question shockingly stupid, Dave? :) There's even note in the BCB-60 user manual "* Do not connect the PSB-1U ( or PSC series) directly to the effects pedals.", so I was rather careful (especially because it would not be mine pedals which would be eventually wasted.. long story).

Sorry if this came too late Tomas...
I met an old friend of mine and took the time to draw the schematic.

Diode is Swhatever... 1N4007 should be the same.
Not so much to see (poor porn inside  :icon_cry: )

No damage done, it ended before it started - I was planning to buy 2nd hand BCB-60 but as I need only the casing (all "guts" would go out) I tried to offer to seller to keep the PSU with daisy chain cable for some discount - it discouraged him enough to find another buyer :D

Thank you very much for this Federico, good to know for the future (I really like BCB-60 casing so I'll probably buy it soon or later anyway).

Have a look at the Behringer PB600, its exactly the same as the boss case apart from the moulding has behringer name instead of boss at a fraction of the price. I got one for £62.

Please at least have 1 forum post before sending me a PM demanding something.

Oh, interesting - I did not know that, thanks Mick, I'll check it! T.
