I received a Gator pedalboard with attached G-BUS-8 power supply for Christmas, and said power supply comes with eight 9v power cables, one end of which is a standard barrel socket to plug into a pedal, while the end that goes into the power supply has a 3.5mm headphone-style jack.
I currently have six pedals plugged in and have been looking for the other two cables, and they've disappeared off the face of the earth. I've looked EVERYWHERE they could possibly be, and I just cannot find them anywhere. So the other day I was fleeced for eleven quid for two T. Rex cables with the same jacks, and upon plugging them in my signal was crippled, with enormous amounts of hum - and every pedal on the board refused to turn on. So those are going back to the shop, and I've been looking yet again for the original two Gator cables, to no avail. Why did I not just plug all the cables into the power supply to start with, for safe keeping?
More to the point, it would seem that nowhere sells any spares (apart from one eBay shop in Iowa). So I have lost two small but vital components in making my pedalboard work properly, and I am really rather cross about the whole thing.
Sorry, no real purpose in posting this, just venting.

Big +1 to just writing to (or even ringing) them and politely asking how much they cost, I bet they bung a couple in an envelope for nowt.
