Re: [Harp-L] Using a Digitech RP200 in Europe

[Howard Chandler <h_chandler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I responded to this thread yesterday but it seems not to have been
posted to the group.

However, I feel it's important that RP250 etc users beware that the
power requirements for this pedal are 9VAC not DC, as is the case for
most Boss (and even most other digitech) pedals.

Using a 9VDC supply can cause the pedal to become unusable.
Unfortunately I had to learn this the hard way, but to the credit of the
Digitech people, they were able to revive my unit free of charge.
