Dean Hazelwanter	Re: Pedal Power Connector Standardization Thanks for the comments, CJ. I did the PCB layout for the supply with a 4 pin screw-terminal block, +9, gnd, gnd, -9. This will be mounted in a metal enclusure with a removable top, so depending on what's needed I (not my 15 year old!!) can connect whatever kind of cables to either the positive ground or negative ground bus. I may use the barrel type for all positive ground effects, and 1/8" phone for the negative ground effects, just so he can't mix them up and let the smoke out of one of the boxes.
