The power supply on my Goodrich Matchbro has died, and the info on it is faded and unreadable. Does anyone know what voltage is delivered to the bro from the power supply, so I can get a replacement one??
thanks in advance.

| I never had a proper power supply but I am very successfully running in from two combined outputs of a multi-jack 9V power source (Voo Doo Lab Pedal Power 2). In other words 18V. |

Yes, 18 VDC.
I used an old IBM Thinkpad (Laptop) power supply.
It was not a direct fit, had to replace the jack.

Thanks John and Joey ... I think I might actually have an 18v power supply in my junk drawer.

Years ago I got a MatchBro from Buddy. I asked if he had a power supply? He said he'd never used a power supply because a good brand of alkaline batteries last for quite a long time. You do have to unplug it so the batteries don't drain. But, mine is plugged in sometimes 6 nights in a row, (4-5 hours a night) and they last long enough for me not to remember how long they've been in there.

Hi Ernie yes I agree about the batteries, but I like to plug straight into the power strip in the bottom of my rack next to me ! I have tried to eliminate batteries from as much as I can.... just need one for my headset mic phantom unit and that lasts a long time!
Thanks for everyones help.
