Dumb question about powering effects...

[BigOldHarry]

I currently have a small mix of Boss and EBS pedals. I have been using batteries to this point, but it's time to set this up on a proper pedalboard with AC...

Research has shown that EBS pedals require 9 volts, 10 MA; Boss requires 9v and 9ma... So I think I'm safe using one PS for both. The question now is how many pedals can one wall-wart support?

Additional question: Where does one go to get a wall-wart daisy-chain cable?

thanks

I went through a bit of this myself in this thread a couple weeks ago....

The end result is that my 20 pedals had a total draw of about 500ma, and a OneSpot is rated at 1700ma. I have two OneSpots because I like redundancy

[BigOldHarry]

I expect I'll be running a total of maybe 50 or 60ma worth of pedals - and I know I've seen one Boss power supply drive 4 pedals...

I actually own 2 boss power supplies - Provided it will drive the EBS pedals, I just need a couple of daisy-chain cables - which I can't find!

Depending on the current capability of the wall wart and the demands of the particular pedals, anywhere between 5 and a couple of dozen!

Where have you looked? I get mine from any one of my local music stores.

yeah, I suppose I *could* actually drive down to guitar trader and see if they have a daisy chain for me, if no one has one on-line...
