How would you get +9V from phantom power feed?

[cylens]

I've always wondered what would be the best way to power a pedal from a Phantom Power feed.

7809 regulators are rated for 35V, so... Zener + regulator?

thanks in advance

I don't know, but I like the way you are thinking.

I used to use a 9v power system that was powered at the amp (made by boutique amp maker Fuchs) that sent the 9v current down a TRS cable to a breakout distributor at the pedal board. The SAME CABLE brought the audio signal to the amp from the pedal board - just like Phantom power.

So - my answer is that you can design a 9v system based on the principle of phantom power - just a different voltage.

If you want to get 9v from 48 phantom power, I think that would be fairly easy - as you said with regulators/diodes, etc.
