Q:
I have an effects pedal. I lost the power source. It is a 9vac. I have a lot of AC/DC converters lying around and I was wondering if I can make one of these work. Thanks for any help

A:
If the power source for your effects pedal is 9 Volts AC then you better not use an AC/DC converter to run it.   Not knowing any more details of your system I really can't recommend anything specific.
