Title: Road Rage pcb vs Switching polarity leads
Post by: lostgoonie on June 05, 2012, 12:12:57 AM
Hey guys,
So I just built a bumblebee with the older layout w/o the road rage board.

Can someone tell me what the differences between using the road rage board to supply power to a positive ground pedal vs switching the positive and negative leads around?

I know you can't daisy chain positive ground with negative ground pedals, but is there any other benefits to using the Road rage?

If you'll only ever use a battery or separate power supply for the positive ground pedal, then there's no need for the RoadRage. Convenience and for that time you forget or someone else plugs the pedal into your negative ground power supply are the main reasons to use it.
