Q: What is the Boss PCS-20A Parallel DC Daisy-Chain Cable used for?

The Boss PCS-20A is a daisy-chain cable designed to power multiple guitar pedals from a single power supply.

Q: What kind of power supply do I need to use with this cable?

The PCS-20A requires a compatible DC power supply (sold separately) with a 2.1mm female output jack. It's essential to ensure your power supply provides enough current (milliamps) to meet the combined requirements of all the pedals you plan to connect. Your dedicated Sweetwater Sales Engineer can help you choose the right power supply for your specific pedal setup.

Q: Are there any important considerations when using a daisy-chain cable?

When using a daisy-chain, it's crucial that all connected pedals have the same voltage requirement (typically 9V DC) and that the total current draw of all pedals does not exceed the output capacity of your power supply. Mixing analog and digital pedals on the same daisy chain can sometimes introduce unwanted noise, so listen carefully to your setup for optimal performance.

If you are going to have and use multiple guitar pedals, I highly recommend this BOSS PSC-20A daisy-chain cable to power all your pedals. It has the ability to power up to 7 boxes in one shot (power permitting). Be sure you have a method of supplying power to it. I use a Roland PSC-120A power supply AC adapter to power my BOSS TU-3 Tuner. I then run the daisy-chain cable from the "9V OUT" slot on the back of my Tuner and use it to power my chorus, overdrive, sustain, and distortion pedals all off the one unit.

I have used this cable for a couple months now and it has made it much easier to clean up my guitar area in my home office. It looks much cleaner and professional, and now I have less cords and cables running around to catch on my chair or feet when moving around.

It does what I need it to do. No issues so far. We'll see how it holds up over time.

If you use a Boss TU-3 + other pedals, you should get this. It will save you TONS of money on batteries (especially if you use a DD-20).

It looks small but this thing is huge! Each tip is about two inches long! Takes up way too much space forcing all the pedals really far apart on your board. You lose one tip just by plugging it into the power supply so that leaves seven not eight. It's way too expensive, for a third of the price you can get one from other companies that have right angle plugs that don't take up your whole board!!
