The PSA is regulated output, the ACA is un-regulated. The pedals that use ACA have regulation built into them.

So can you use a PSA supply into a pedal that wants an ACA power supply?  
Take care, Jered

Yes and no. The BOSS Guitar Effect Guide Book says:  
 
All of BOSS' new compact pedals are compatible with the PSA-series adaptors, but there is a possibility that the following products might require an ACA-series adaptor: SD-1, BF-2, GE-7, OC-2, DS-1, PH-2, CS-3. This compability depends on the production period; pedals manufactured after August 1997 are compatible with the PSA-series. You can tell the difference from the sticker attached to the pedal and carton box.
