Some pedals are positive polarity some are negative.
I have adapter with 5 plugs for pedals and I think it's positive polarity. I can connect 3 positive and 2 negative and all will work.
Can it damage pedals?

And can polarity change cables damage pedals?

Please tell me more about polarity on adapters / pedals.

Yeah you wanna get that the right way round. Many circuits have something to protect them if it's wrong but NOT all.
