The majority of guitar pedals on the market require center-pin negative, and therefore the result is that the majority of power supplies output center-pin negative polarity (BOSS, Voodoo Lab®, Cioks®, Truetone®, Walrus®, etc..).

One may also ask, how do I know if my pedals are reverse polarity?
Most pedals use a polarity-based design in which the input jack is “center pin negative”. When you look inside the input jack of a pedal, you can see the small pin in the center. That is one of the connectors for the pedal. That little pin is usually carrying the negative polarity.
Is the Boss PSA adapter Center negative?

What happens if you use the wrong polarity on a guitar pedal?
If you plug in an adapter with the wrong polarity, your effect will not work. If your effect is older, with no polarity protection circuitry, this may damage the effect. The adapter will usually have the rated output voltage, current, and polarity printed on the label.
What is a center negative power supply?
A center-negative plug will have the negative voltage on the center conductor and the positive voltage on the sleeve (outside) conductor. A 9V DC center-negative power supply is the de facto standard for pedals.
What is polarity in power supply?
The polarity symbol on the rating plate of an AC to DC power supply indicates if the centre (or tip) of the output plug is positive (+) or negative (-). It is important to use a power supply having the correct polarity for the host device. Reverse polarity may result in malfunctioning or damaged equipment.

Why are guitar pedals center negative?
Some guitar pedals have center negative polarity because they work with both a battery and wall power. In these pedals, the battery needs to be bypassed when plugged into a power source. This is achieved in the circuit by attaching the battery’s negative terminal to the sleeve of the power jack.
