What is the Truetone 1 SPOT C35 3.5mm Converter used for?

The Truetone 1 SPOT C35 3.5mm Converter allows you to power guitar pedals and other devices that require a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) mini plug for their power input. It converts the standard 2.1mm barrel plug from your power supply, like a Truetone 1 SPOT, into the specific 3.5mm connection needed for certain vintage or unique effects pedals. This ensures compatibility with your existing power setup.

Which types of pedals are compatible with the C35 3.5mm Converter?

This converter is designed for pedals that use a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) mini plug for power, rather than the more common 2.1mm barrel jack. You'll often find this type of power input on older or specific models from brands like vintage MXR, Electro-Harmonix, and DOD. Always check your pedal's power requirements, including voltage and polarity, to ensure proper and safe operation.

How do I connect the C35 3.5mm Converter to my pedalboard setup?

Connecting the C35 converter is straightforward. Take the 2.1mm female end of the C35 and plug it into one of the standard 2.1mm male barrel plugs coming from your power supply (e.g., a Truetone 1 SPOT). Then, simply plug the angled 3.5mm (1/8-inch) end of the C35 converter directly into the power input jack on your compatible effects pedal.

Does the C35 converter change the voltage or polarity of my power supply?

No, the Truetone 1 SPOT C35 3.5mm Converter is a passive adapter that only changes the physical connector type. It does not alter the voltage or polarity of the power coming from your power supply. It's crucial to ensure your power supply's voltage and polarity (typically center-negative for most pedals) match the requirements of the pedal you are powering to prevent damage.
