For a panel mount DC power jack, I use this one:

You need a plastic bodied jack to avoid electrical problems
Changing the accessory power outputs will require replacing a component on the main GT circuit board. I'm not certain if there's a drop in compatible part, but it's fairly likely. I can look into it if needed.
If you're using a bidirectional MIDI connection to the Axe-Fx, then you'll need all 6 pins, I wouldn't recommend using a 5-pin XLR. If you don't care about bidirectional MIDI, then you only need to connect pins 5, 6 and the XLR shield to DIN pins 4, 5 and 2 respectively. Pins 1 and 2 on the XLR are for phantom power.
You can relocate the jack to the front of the pedal or use one of these cable ends https://www.redco.com/Squareplug-SP400-Low-Profile-Flat-TS.htmlYeah, I understand. If it's a big problem I can revisit it later, but I've got the GT/16 on my Pedaltrain Novo24, and there's only about 4" on the side to have a volume pedal... Most of the expression pedals I've seen have the jacks on the sides, which won't work for me, I just dont have the space, even with right angle cables
Thanks for your quick response. I would greatly appreciate it if you would look into wether or not I could change the accessory outputs. It would save me having to run ac to the pedal board. Thanks again!! Love the awesome support !!
Thank you again!! I really appreciate your efforts!!I looked again for a part I had considered using because it would fit the existing board and it could handle twice the current. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's available anymore... I'll keep searching...
Thank you!
So this means i may just solder the phantom power out straight through the 7pin xlr socket?
Do i run into any trouble by bridging the midi connection this often??
The polarity of the power pins doesn't matter, but the polarity of the data pins definitely does.
Is this the case when using a 12VDC power supply over MIDI Phantom? Polarity of pins 6 and 7 is a non-issue?
Hello Ron
Sorry if this question or the answer is already covered here.
I have ended up with a phantom power box XLR6(two inputs) for using with my Axe3 and a GT10 only to realise that the GT10 doesn't' accept an XLR input and it needs to be Din7.
I contacted loopersparadise who said to they didn't have any adapter cables in stock and the best thing to do was to buy a ZLR6 plug and solder it myself to a Din7 cable. I am ok with a soldering iron and would be able to do this but i am a bit unsure of the wiring so they said to contact you and ask for wiring diagram or help.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards Danny
