OK, I just found an Ibanez AC109 AC -> 9V adaptor for cheap. It has the same form factor as an ACA or PSA from Boss. The specs are as follows:

INPUT AC 120V 6W 60 Hz
OUTPUT DC 9V 200 mA

Class 2 Transformer
Anoma Electric Co., Ltd.
Model AEC-4190c

So my question: is this equivalent to a PSA? Can I consider it a regulated, trustworthy wall-wart? Or should I stick with the Boss PSA for reliable pedal juice?

thanks

Can't find any specs on it... The only way to know is to find a schematic.

If you have a meter and can measure the voltage out of the AC109, then with no load if the voltage is close to 9VDC it is "probably" regulated and an OK replacement...
