I got an OC-2 Octave MIJ cheap on ebay as there where some powering issues. When I got it the the dc input was cut from the circuit and the battery wasn't connected. So I added a new battery connector and look at the OC2 service jpeg I worked out how to wire up the dc input. It works fine with a battery but no power thru the dc plug. See pic

Is this correct? Im using a SoundLab Pedal Power 450 to power my pedals, so I thought it wasn't working coz it's an ACA pedal. If thats the case should I replace D3 & R17 with jumpers?

The "4" and "+Batt" wires need to be swapped.

Hi dthurstan

Not sure if this helps?
But there are a couple of OC-2 internal pics, in the Pedal Internals thread.
pages 1 and 11.
