anyone use a Polytune to power other pedals?

[Chad]

If so, what cable did you use? I have 1 too many pedals for my pedal power and thought the easiest way to power the other pedal is the out of my polytune but I don't know what cable to get to make that work.

Why not just use a regular daisy chain?

I guess I could use the one spot cable for it. I didn't think about that, I was thinking I had to use the end of the cable but that doesn't fit the plug on the pedal, but I guess I could just use any of the pedal connections to put in it. I would like to find one that is just a one to one, so I don't have a bunch of extra plugs cluttering up my board.

Just put some tape on the ends you're not using so they don't spark if thy touch something.

Good tip, I learned that one the hard way. I wish they'd include little plastic caps for unused OneSpot plugs.

Mine came with plastic/rubber caps. I think I lost them though.

The out is the same size. You just another standard patch cable from your pedal power.

yeah, I thought about that after I started the post and then proceeded to dig through my cables. The pedal power came with 6 standard outs, and I ordered 2 more so I could use all 8 spots so now I don't have any. I may just buy one from Sweetwater, I think they are $3.50 or so.

I would probably make one to the length I required. Bit of 2 core wire, a pair of 2.1mm plugs (guessing at size but they're the standard) and a bit of soldering and the job's a good one.
