How do you power your pedalboard?

is there a single EHX adapter for the onespot? Ive got a bassballs i need to run off it and I was thinking you had to get a Positive tip adapter then a different size barrell adapter? where can i get these EHX adapters
Before I understood the concept of ground loops, I made a power regulator/splitter with 2-foot cables. Hum out the bum
. But frankly, I just didn't want to plug in 4 adapters. When I got the PP2, my rig gained this noiselessness that I truly treasure. It's like being in space.For everything:
2x Godlyke PA-9
3x Boss PSA 240
1x Maplin 300ma
2x EHX
1x Moog
1x Whammy
For band practices and gigs I tend to use:
2x Godlyke
2x Boss
I am however now going to look at a Diago Power Brick more closely though, looks exactly like what I'm after.

I have a power strip with a muff'n adapter, my silver dragon adapter, and a 1-spot for everything else.
Used to use a Dunlop Brick and Godlyke with 2 daisy chains, now use Dunlop Brick powering 7 9v and one 18v pedals, then the Godlyke with only one daisy chain.
I've bought another brick though, and once I get the right plug and some more leads for it, I'll be using 2 bricks and no Godlyke.
Plus the EHX adapter for my Micro Synth.

I recently picked up a 1Spot--now I can finally power my DOD delay and my Rat (both have wierd connectors) along with the rest of my pedalboard!
Well it still can't power my DigiTech WHammy of Talker, but at least I don't have a billion other wallwarts looking for a place to plugin

I'm confused by your question, but anyhow...
the older-style EHX pedals (like the Bassballs, Small Clone, etc.) use that positive-tip plug that looks like a headphone jack. Any store that sells One Spot adapters also sells those special positive-tip adapters. All you do is stick the adapter onto an existing plug on the daisy chain, and it's good to go.
My pedal board has all the 9v connectors, and some pedals just need to be plugged in to a 120VAC.
How do you like the Gator PS? Looks like an affordable alternative to a VooDoo, but often affordable=cheap...
i was looking into the one spot for my pedals. what adapter do you need for moog pedals?
also i have a boss line selector ls-2 and i know it can power some pedals but does it do the same thing as the one spot and can you get the right adapters for pedals other than regular 9v? im not sure if the ones for the one spot can be used with the boss

I've got two alternatives of power supply for my four pedals:
1) Unregulated 9V 1A wall wart originating from an ooooold Commodore inkjet printer. Works, but causes 50-cycle hum when an effect is activated.
2) Battery-based power supply. A 6 x AA battery holder loaded with rechargeables connected to a 2.1 mm power plug. No hum, no power socket required on stage, but a bit unreliable due to contact problems sometimes.
