9 VAC adaptor (Wall wart) -

Captain coconut requires a supply voltage of 9 Volts AC - not t o be confused with 9 Volts DC (which is what you get from a 9 Volt battery). Great care has been taken to design a power supply circuit that will adequately satisfy Captain Coconut's unique power requirements without creating audible hum at high gain settings. For starters, the Octave and Fuzzfoot circuits both require a super clean negative 9 VDC supply. The Provibe runs on +15 VDC, which ups teh amount of avialable headroom. Lastly, the signal switching relays run on +12VDC, drawing a healthy amount of current. All voltages are heavily filtered and regulated for unvarying performance. The 9 Volt, AC wall wart included with Captain Coconut is rated for 650 ma and uses a 2.1mm barrel connector. It can be replaced by a standard Nintendo wall wart and a suitable replacement can be found at Radio Shack.
