So the dog my kids got for Christmas chewed through my chord..the one that goes out from the 404 into the box thing... I plugged it up to a regular 9v chord and it worked fine.so if a regular old chord works why does the 404 come w 2 chords connected in the middle my the box thingy? Just wondering if these something I need to know so nothing gets ducked up.thanks

yo the box thingy is just an adapter. Your 3rd party cord is prob got a fat plug in box converting the power. same thing just not split up.

but watch out those things can fuck shit up, had one blow on me and lost an amp :(

Damn,typo much? Alright,cool thanks
