About This Item
Description
Replacing a lost or failing 9V wall adapter? The Valeton PSW-1 supplies a clean, center-negative 9V output at up to 1A, with automatic international voltage conversion, as a drop-in power source for guitar pedals.
Why guitarists choose the PSW-1
- Up to 1A output has the headroom to run more than 10 typical pedals through a daisy-chain cable.
- Pure copper coils and a voltage-stabilizing filter circuit help keep power-supply hum out of your signal.
- Automatic international voltage conversion means one adapter travels with you instead of needing region-specific supplies.
- Standard center-negative polarity matches the vast majority of guitar pedals.
- A 1.5-meter (about 4.9 ft) cable gives reasonable reach from the outlet to your pedalboard.
PSW-1 vs PCA-5: not substitutes
The PSW-1 is the power source; it's the adapter that actually supplies current. If you need to split that power across multiple pedals, pair it with the Valeton PCA-5 daisy-chain cable — the PCA-5 alone supplies no power of its own.
Compatibility
- Works with most standard 9V stompbox pedals that use center-negative polarity.
- Covers Valeton Dapper effects strips: the Dapper Bass draws 85 mA and the Dapper Indie 150 mA, both at 9V DC center-negative.
- Not for center-positive, 12V or 18V gear.

FAQ
What's the maximum output current? Up to 1A at 9V.
What polarity is it? Center-negative, the standard polarity for most guitar pedals.
Can I use it when traveling internationally? Yes, it automatically converts across international voltages.
Can it power multiple pedals? On its own, it has one output. Pair it with the PCA-5 daisy-chain cable to distribute power to up to 5 pedals; 1A is enough for more than 10 typical pedals in total.
How long is the cable? 1.5 meters (about 4.9 ft).
Will it run a Valeton Dapper strip? Yes. The Dapper Bass (85 mA) and Dapper Indie (150 mA) both use 9V DC center-negative power, well within the PSW-1's 1A.
