Do your no-drill 9V adapters work with MXR-era vintage pedals?
Yes. Our PowerPlay No Drill 9V Vintage Pedal Adapters are designed for many vintage-style and MXR-era pedals, letting you power them without modifying or drilling the original enclosure. Browse the collection to find the right fit, or learn more about us and our approach to preserving vintage gear.
Which MXR-era pedals are supported?
Popular examples include the PowerPlay MXR Vintage Phase 90 and PowerPlay MXR Vintage Phase 100. Please check each product’s compatibility notes for your exact model.
Does the Phase 100 PowerPlay adapter work with both script and block logo vintage Phase 100s?
Yes! The PowerPlay MXR Vintage Phase 100 No Drill 9V Battery Pedal Adapter is designed to fit both script and block logo versions of the vintage Phase 100. No drilling or modifications required — just a clean, reversible power solution for your classic pedal.
Does the PowerPlay adapter work with the MXR '74 Vintage Phase 90 Script Logo Reissue (CSP026)?
Yes! The PowerPlay MXR '74 Vintage Phase 90 (CSP026) Script Logo Reissue No Drill 9V Battery Adapter is specifically designed for this reissue model. It fits without any drilling or permanent modifications, letting you power your pedal cleanly and keep it completely original.
Will installing an adapter permanently alter my vintage pedal?
No. Our no-drill solutions are designed to be reversible and preserve the pedal’s original condition. Installation typically uses existing openings or mounting points rather than requiring permanent changes.
Do you make accessories for other classic pedals?
Yes. Explore the PowerPlay MXR 1970s Script & Block Logo Small Case and the PowerPlay Vintage 1970s Crybaby and Vox V847 Wah. You can also shop our full range of vintage pedal accessories.
Does this adapter work with the Vox 846 vintage wah pedal?
We're not certain — at least one customer has reported that our adapter did not fit their Vox 846. We recommend checking your pedal's battery compartment dimensions before ordering, or contact us if you'd like help determining compatibility.
Does the PowerPlay work with a germanium Fuzz Face?
No. Our 9V battery connectors have a different polarity than what a germanium version uses. We don't want to fry your pedals, but as soon as we can find a safe option for germanium pedals, we will!
Do you still sell guitars, amps, and pedals?
Occasionally, yes — but the focus of SmallAxeMusic has evolved to specializing in, expanding, and enhancing the PowerPlay line. Our core mission is delivering innovative power solutions for vintage and modern pedal rigs.
