Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I know you are asking about making a replacement, but if it doesn't
work.  Musiciansfriend.com sells Casio 850ma replacement power
supplies for about $15.  There are also two inexpensive universal
power supplies, with tip adapters available.  One is called the 1spot
with 1700ma.  The other is the Godlyke PA-9, it claims to power 20
pedals, it doesn't state the amperage.
