Powering a Zoom B3

Hi guys,

Asking around for experiences of Zoom B3 user, what are u guys using to power it?
I just striped down my pedal board to a B3 and an EBS microbass. Daisy chaining gives me a big hissing sound. So is considering either a DC brick or a Fuel Tank Jr.
Wouldn't be considering the others as I'm using in on a PT nano.

Thanks guys.

Thanks

If you're getting hissing from a daisy chain, a DC Brick won't help you, cause its basically a daisy chain in a metal box. You'll need an isolated power supply of some sort.

I also have similar inquiries. I have a Harley Benton Power Plant (Fuel Tank Classic clone as far as I know). it states that it haves 8 9V outputs @ 500mA. It also has one 12V 250ma AC output and a DC equivalent. The B3 is rated @ exactly 500ma, since I have 4 other analog (two EHX, a BBS and a Korg Pitcblack) stompboxes I want to make sure I won't run into any problems by feeding them all with "just" 500mA

I've been running mine of a 250ma 9V drop from my Voodoo Pedal Power Plus without any apparent issues.
