| | | | Visual Sound 1 Spot Combo Pack or Dunlop DC-Brick Power Supply? I plan to get one of these to power the following:
Korg Pitchblack +
Boss RV-3
Line 6 DL-4
MXR M80 Bass D.I.
The advantage of the Visual Sound Combo is that it comes with the adapter for Line 6 pedals. But the Dunlop Brick Power appears more portable and less messy.
So, anyone that has used any of the power supplies, which one do you recommend? |

| | | | Yes, I do, but it only can power up to 200MA. Which, considering the DL4, is quite pointless. |

It's much, much easier for a guy like me. Oh, and you don't have to worry about pedals with odd voltages. I like the Voodoo Labs.  |

Basically if you are going to use a DC supply, it needs to be higher than 9V; and the 1Spot and Powerall are just 9V. Godlyke does make an adapter to juice the output up to 12 or 18V, but I couldn't promise that it would work, adapters are finicky things. |
