Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Rocktron PowerTap
9 Volt Adjustable Pedal Power. Power your entire
pedalboard with this box as it supplies AC and DC
current.

The Rocktron PowerTAP 9 Volt Adjustable Pedal
Power provides a variety of power options for
your pedalboard. The PowerTap design allows for

consistant ow of power by jacks that are “isolated”
and “noiseless”. The small chassis ts neatly on your

pedalboard. Three AC Output plugs are included, two
on the sides and one on the back. The side plugs al­low for better placement on your pedalboard.

To accomodate the many variations in power require­ments for different pedals we have included 5 jacks
on the front that are switchable between DC9V &
DC12V. Two additional jacks on the front provide
variable power from DC4V to DC9V allowing you to

achieve the “dying” battery effect. And, one AC jack

to power pedals requiring AC power.

Travelling to another country? The Rocktron Power­TAP is switchable from 115V to 230V.
