I got a JD Aura pedal 
Is the Boss PSA-120 a safe power supply???... It's a regulated 200ma tip-negative, which looks like what the JD wants.
If so I already have one.
If not I guess I will order a Fishman.
Using 9 volts in the mean time.

Any standard 9V is fine, I use a One-Spot with mine...no problem...looks like that is what the Boss is trying to emulate... And mine powers 5 other pedals at the same time.....9v is 9v, as long as you have the polarity right (you do), and it can take the current (it can).
You're gonna' love the sound...even Jerry Douglas leaves the blend at 100% blended...

Pete-did you upgrade the Schertler Basik pickup in the Wechter Scheerhorn to a Fishman Nashville (which is what the Aura is made to work with) or get a new Reso? I think the Aura would add something even to the Schertler, but not the full sound...

Steve, Thanks for the info! I picked up a Gretsch Bobcat a few year back, with factory installed Fishman Nashville.
