Most devices (pedal effects, power supply, tuner, volume pedals,
wah, etc.) can be mounted to the pedal board using an industrial
adhesive-backed velcro such as 3M dual lock. Audio cables should
be as short as possible. You can use off-the-shelf patch cords, or
better yet, make your own exactly to length.

Once the cables are all neatly routed, finish the job by securing
them with nylon cable ties and cable tie mounts. If you constructed
the board itself, heavy duty rubber feet and metal handles are useful
and will give a professional appearance.

Voodoo Lab can supply you with most necessary materials including
dual lock, cable, connectors, hardware and many professional
wiring accessories. Contact us for current availability and pricing.

Connections

The Voodoo Lab Pedal Power has eight DC output jacks. These
accept barrel type connectors. Notice that each of your DC power
cables have a barrel connector on at least one end. The other end has
either another identical barrel connector, a 5.5x2.5mm RED barrel,
a 3.5mm mini-plug, or a battery snap.

Use the standard black barrel connector cables with Boss, Ibanez,
Voodoo Lab, and most common pedals. If you have a pedal from
another manufacturer which appears to use the same connector, you
should verify that the polarity is “center negative” to prevent damage
to the pedal. This is the standard polarity and virtually all pedals
are wired this way. Exceptions are the Fulltone ‘69, SoulBender,
and Octafuzz pedals and Moogerfoogers, which have their power
jacks wired for “center positive”. If you have these or other pedals
which require reversed polarity, see “More About Cables” below.

When using the cables with 3.5mm mini plugs, you should verify
that the polarity is “tip positive”. This is the standard polarity for
pedals which use the 3.5mm mini plug for power.
