What external power source can be used on a goodrich match-bro to keep from using 9v batteries.

Any local amp tech could put in a jack to take the standard Boss-style adapters. I've also seen power supplies with a 9V-style tail.

BTW, it's something you could do yourself, but I assumed that you didn't feel like drilling and soldering yourself (if you did, the question woulda come out "how do I" instead of "what should I get?")

The 1-Spot people make a whole series of adapters, one of them terminates in a standard 9-volt fixture. Elderly's got them, as do others.

Roger, I think the matchbros use 2 9 volt batteries in series 18 volts. If I am wrong I apologize. The match bro II that I have doesn't have the ext power jack but the other two that I have do. I have a power supply that I will give you if you pay shipping. I will never use it. The matchbro's don't seem to be very hard on batteries for me.
