Board only half completed, need more power.

So I'm using a BBE Supa Charger to power the 7 pedals on my board and I've got one more adapter left and 4 more pedals that I plan on getting. What would be a good way to power the remaining three that doesn't have a significant effect on my clean tone? Another Supa Charger seems like overkill and I don't know where I'd put it (Pedaltrain PT-2). I've heard One-Spots can mess with your sound. How much truth is there to that? I could pick up 3 power adapters and that would work perfectly but it'd be nice not to have to plug in a bunch of stuff if at all possible.

Does it not fit under the board?

It'll fit but I would need another hole in the back of the board to plug in the power cable.

you should be able to use the 200ma outputs to run more than one pedal using a daisy chain adapter

Yea, I was thinking of doing that. Could I just buy one spot cables for that?

yeah, I think you can use this

Im not familiar with the BBE unit (currently running 7 pedals off a one spot), so I dont know if it uses the same connector, but the one spot daisy chains use the same boss standard barrel at both ends.

you can also check out the power list to see what kind of power draw your pedals have and figure out how many you can put on one daisy chain
