Can I use this (Roland PSB-1U) power supply with guitar pedals? EDIT: Yes, and it's £20.

Question answered, yes you can! So this looks like a £20 alternative to a Diago Powerstation. 

I don't know about electronics, so this could be a stupid question.

Here's the sticker from a Roland PSB-1U power supply (for use with GT-10s, Micro Cubes, BR-8s etc, apparently).

I can't tell from this whether the output current is AC or DC though. Roland's website lists it as an "AC adapter", but they also list the PSA as an AC adapter, and I know the PSA outputs DC.

If this can be used with pedals, it looks like a good value alternative to a Diago Powerstation. It takes a detachable figure of 8 cable (a big plus in my book), 2A, and they're £20.

It's DC, should be fine!

Did you work that out because it says it on the sticker: Output 9.0Vdc? I just spotted that. Doh.

Maaaaaaaaaybeeeee. )

(Well, also, that and I had one powering my pedalboard for a while. )

If it's got marked '+' and '-' it's DC, AC goes from '+' to '-' 50 times a second and it's a ballache to keep on re-writing the label.
