Current Affairs - Power

I'm rather new to pedalboard pleasure, but this is what I've accumulated within the last 6 months.
Reduced 97%

3264 x 2448 (1.1MB)

Centre +ve 24v DC 30mA EHX Microsynth
Centre -ve 12v DC 500mA Markbass Compressore
Centre -ve 12v DC 600mA Markbass Distorsore
Centre -ve 09v DC 50mA Chunk Systems Agent Funk MKII (in the post)
Centre -ve 09v DC 200mA Boss OC-2
Centre -ve 09v DC 180mA Pog2
Centre -ve 09v DC 10mA EBS Micorbass II
Centre -ve 09v DC 015mA EBS Unichorus
Centre -ve 09v DC 600mA Korg Pitchblack (the manual says "at least 600mA", surely this can't be right).
I'm fed up with the adapters and cables, and the room they take up in the pedalboard.I can't seem to find power-brick type solution.
Would this work?
T-Rex Juicy Luicy; 5 x isolated 12v DC 300mA, Combine 2 of these for Markbass Distorsore (Juicy Lucy comes with 1 x current doubler cable).
Combine 2 more for the Markbass Compressore. (will have to orde another current doubler).

Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 Plus; 4 x 9/12v DC 100mA isolated, Combine 2 for EHX Microsynth (and use a polarity reversing plug for the centre +ve). The other 6 can be powered from the Voodoo.

WILL IT WORK ?

Haha! I get it! CURRENT affairs!

Sounds a bit complicated, but it should work. I'd probably go with something simpler (and cheaper), but, I'm cheap.

hey...just purely out of curiosity (and really dont mean to totally hijack this thread so i apologize) but what kinda band do you play with that lets you use all that neat stuff? I get excited if my group plays a tune that I could use an octaver on ...

I think you can take care of all of these with just a BBE SupaCharger and a separate power supply for the EHX.

A cover band, pop/rock with a bit of Jamiroquai/Muse.
To be honest the compressore distorsore and microbass get used frequently, the rest keeps me happy noodling at home.

6 months ago I didn't have any effects. There should be a government health warning. This addiction can't kill, but it'll hurt ya wallet.

The Supacharger doesn't put out enough mA 600/500 respectively for the Distorsore and Compressore.

I bought the DiagoPowerstation 85Euro's.
I powers these without any noise whatsoever;
Centre -ve 12v DC 500mA Markbass Compressore
Centre -ve 09v DC 50mA Chunk Systems Agent Funk MKII (in the post)
Centre -ve 09v DC 200mA Boss OC-2
Centre -ve 09v DC 180mA Pog2
Centre -ve 09v DC 10mA EBS Micorbass II
Centre -ve 09v DC 015mA EBS Unichorus
Centre -ve 09v DC 600mA Korg Pitchblack (the manual says "at least 600mA", surely this can't be right)

The Diago is a fantastic little unit! We should praise it more!
So I still need to power;
Centre -ve 12v DC 600mA Markbass Distorsore
Centre +ve 24v DC 20mA EHX Microsynth.
