9V along TRS cable to power pedal board

This schematic allows you to build a breakout box to send 9v dc to your pedal board along the same cable that is bringing audio back to your amp.

This can be used with pedal boards and with guitars that require batteries where the TRS jack on the guitar uses the ring for the battery power.

Here is the schematic:

I think this would be a simple Vero circuit. You need a "1-Spot" power supply to power it, and some kind of DC breakout box at the other end that receives the TRS cable, distributes the +9, and has "last pedal in" to carry the audio signal from the last pedal along the tip of the TRS cable back to the amp.

Fuchs already has a similar system knows as "Plus Power Station"
