Is there an official/supported solution for pulling 9v from the MFC Expansion port?
I'm a new owner and in the process of planning my board setup (MFC is in for repair/testing, btw.)
Ideally, it would be cool to pull a minimal draw via the 9v from the expansion port to power something on the board (eg. an led on an expression, a "can't live without fuzz", etc.)
Considering future expansion possibilities via the MFC expansion port to support another MFC, I would assume there is some spare power that is being passed down from the Axe FX II via the ethernet.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I can envision a break-out box being built into a tiny enclosure (perhaps incorporating ethercon at the same time) that pulls/splits power from the expansion/ethernet port for other accessories -- preserving the nice one-cable solution. A very simple DYI, IMO.
Thoughts? Comments?
(Apologies if this was covered - I didn't find anything with a cursory search.)
