Ok guys, here's another question for ya; My DTXpress that I ordered doesn't come with a power supply but I have this big ass power supply from my Roland TD-7 that is: AC Adaptor IN: AC120V~60Hz 23W OUT: AC12V~1500mA. Can I use this? Thanks for helping this electronic idiot NOT fry his new brain!

Can I use this? Thanks for helping this electronic idiot NOT fry his new brain! > DON'T DO IT!!! The Yamaha wants 12V DC - the one you described is AC (=big bang). A generic adaptor will be fine. My UK one is 12V 0.5A DC centre positive (which is the opposite way round to most things). Most adaptors have a polarity changer. I wouldn't worry too much about it being regulated - the Yamaha UK supplied one isn't and give out nearly 18V off load! Keith.
