TC G force question?

[parntz145]

I see on the back of the g force that all the midi jacks are 5 pin. What I want to know is that can I use my G force to send phantom power to my Ground control pro midi board? If so how?

Thanks.

you'll need your own 9V wall wart adapter and a roctron 5 pin to 7 pin DIN MIDI cable.

Thanks for the info, but my objective is to get rid of the wall wart.

you cannot create power from nothing, the g-force was not designed to provide an internal power source for phantom power over MIDI. your only other option is to run a pedal power brick for a pedal board and run the footswitch off of that, utilizing a regular 5 pin to 5 pin MIDI cable.

Thats what I was thinking of doing. I just hate these frigging wallwarts in the back of my rack.

Yeah, they tend to end up laying in the bottom of the rack during transit.....

If your rack is big enough, grab you one of those Furman Plug-Lok power strips and secure it inside the rack and plug it into your main rack power.
