Hey Guys, I ordered a diablo drum kit from drum-tec with the 2box module after doing a bunch of research. Unfortunately it shipped with the EU power. I know i need 18vAC 500mA so I ordered one off amazon.
It didn't fit into the module :(
I then bought an adapter to convert the 2box power supply from EU/sweedish to Canadian ... but when I first turn on the module it has a song constantly playing, crackling audio, and the screen is flickering. No way to stop the song and seems like the adapter isn't working.
Not sure what to do now, I can't seem to find anything online. Starting to regret going down this journey, $550 import fee from ordering from drum-tec too. This 2box is turning out to be a bigger money pit than a used car! lol
Ugh! Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks :)

I ordered mine from Long and Mcquade in Canada, nearing 2 years and not had any issues since.

Sucks. Do you have a soldering iron or have a friend who does? Get a correct size barrel connector from somewhere (ebay, digikey) and replace the bad one.
Hey guys thanks for the help! I ended up finding one at my parents house that was old AF , but seems to work great.
LOVING the 2box!! now time to dive into loading in my own kits :)

Be careful. If that PSU has a DC rather than AC output it may appear to work for a while, but then you might end up destroying the regulator inside the module. I've seen reports of that happening on this forum.
