Boss 9v psu question

Post by Dr R »

Really quick question:
I have just bought a Boss TU-88 tuner/metronome/mini monitor for practising with. It runs of 9v battery or a 9v Boss psu. Annoyingly it doesn't say what the current draw is, or whether the centre is negative or positive. I have googled it, but not found any specs.

Does anyone know? I have half a dozen spare psus, hopefully one will work.

Thanks as always, Rich

Did this work on the same principle as, when needing to know the time during the early hours, sticking a drum out of the window and banging it with enthusiasm? Somebody is bound to shout "who the hell is banging a (insert choice of expletive here) drum at 2 o'clock in the morning?

Still mourning the loss of my 'Jedi Poster" status :)

People often mistake me for a grown-up because of my age.
