i can't see your attachement...

but if you wanna use the sp-303 portable - NO PROBLEM :mrgreen:

i use my sp-303 with a USB Powerbank (usually for smartphones, tablets, etc) and a USB to 9V Power-Adapter (i bought it on myvolts.com )

the bigger the capacity of the powerbank the longer you can power your sampler.

http://myvolts.com/product.php/14934/0/9V_Boss_SP-303_Sampler_USB_power_supply <-- 9v usb power cable

(xiaomi powerbanks are pretty good in price/value)

ps sorry for the huge pic :mrgreen:

That's a killer deal at $13.99. I spent around $40 for rechargeable AA batteries for my 404sx.

Wow I never thought of that, and thanks for your idea! Simple, and practical.

oh yeah and the headphone socket for the SP 303 is a quarter inch?

I assume you found one, if not they have them for a few dollars on eBay. Now grab a pt01 skratch and go tear it down on the block. Just bring some friends, cause fools be that jack move.

I did not, no clue about that stuff. A link would be most appreciated. And for the pt01, been observing a few on eBay. That just looks like too much fun.

Here you go
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-DC-5V-to-DC-9V-Step-up-Module-Converter-2-1x5-5mm-Male-Connector-Plus-MF-/222483222510?hash=item33cd088fee:g:-h4AAOSw3ZRY-eIx

and a powerbank is needed, something like this
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Chargers-RAVPower-16750mAh-External/dp/B00MQSMEEE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501146782&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=battery+bank+usb&psc=1

I've been using the vestax handytrax I bought back in the day to scratch 7inch, but I would recommend the pt01 scratch with a mini innofader and shure m44 cartridge/tone arm upgrade if you're looking for a portable set-up.

OK.

This was actually a little bit unclear, So I try to clear it up, because I just get it working...

1. you will need a powerbank that have 2,1A output

2. you will need step up convertor to boost 5V to 9V
I ordered something like this
Image
but it doesn't work
It just doesn't output enough power (Ampers)
Now I figured out, that you will need step up convertor that can output to 2A of juice
Ordered differnt one:
Image
This one can be opened and you can resolder the cable, swap positive and negative output, that Boss needs (Negative in center, Positive around)

And that's it
it works

I tried 2 powerbanks
with one I have to plug the powerplug into SP303, turn the SP303 on, than turn on powerbank with it's power switch.

with the second one, I have to plug the powerplug to SP303, turn the powerbank on with it's power switch, than turn SP303 on. It takes a second to SP303 turn on and powerbank resets, but than everything works together...

I didn't notice any hum in SP303's output

Hope this is clear(er)

Cheers

Hopefully it still relevant, to make the SP 303, all we need is a usb powerbank and this cable: http://myvolts.com/product/16427/Power_ ... 03_Sampler

Hope it helps. Thanks

Yes, but this one is about half the price...
https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Step- ... 43&sr=8-30
But Shure, you can use Ripcord. It shoult be better quality..

It's just seemed easier to get something from Amazon here in Europe...
