power supplies for pedal board?

[erik281]

i saw that godlyke pedal supply, the price is right maybe to right? i could buy 2 with pedal money left over though

opinions on power supplies plz

There is the Gator GBUS.

Or you could get a 1-spot and daisy chain, though I havent tried that personally.

There's TONS of options!
1-Spot
Gator G-Bus
Godlyke Powerall
Dunlop DC Brick
Voodoo Labs Pedal Power series
TRex Fuel Tank series
Diago Powerstation
Burkey Flatliner series
just to name a few...

What are your power requirements? (9/12/18/24v DC or even AC) How many pedals? Do you need adapters other than the standard boss type such as for Line 6, battery snaps, reverse polarity, or older DOD/EHX pedals?

I use a Dunlop DC brick and it is great.

It has 3 cables that are in the shape of those stupid EHX powers.

so far the pedals i use are

pearl octave pedal
boss odb-3
keeley proco rat
EH pog
boss blues driver

its hard tellin what else i am going to add, maybe go more boutique on my distortion, add a bass muff, maybe 8-9 pedals max

i am not to terribly concerned with a little electrical noise, i just want something relatively cheap to medium priced that'll support the juice given

I thought I'd add to this question. Are there any that will supply all the STUPID STUPID STUPID various different EHX voltages?

[robgo]

Diago is definately one of the best. Small, cheap, unlimited power, and their customer service has patiently replied to about 20 different questions of mine about powering my random pedals, even offering to make custom patch leads. Big reccommend from me!!

Most of the EHX stuff can be powered from a Pedal Power if you just get the right cables. The most powerful/diverse supply I've seen is the Burkey Flatliner, which can allow for combining outputs for up to 400mA, which I think can power a HOG. All the outputs are 200mA to begin with, which is good for pedals like the Micro POG that require more power (I always put mine in the 250mA slots on my Pedal Power). It also has a 9/12v AC output for tube stuff like the English Muff'n. Problem is that it's twice the price of a Pedal Power and a good deal larger.

1 Spot works well. I have two of these running 14 pedals and never had issues.
