Isolated power supply suggestion

[vivaknoxvegas]

Is there anything comparable to the VooDoo PP2+ size wise (or smaller) and number of outputs that would be cheaper than the PP2+? What are you all using that you like currently for iso power?

Also, If I run two power supplies, is there an adapter to join both power supplies into one power cable out? Or is this not a good idea?

I'm using a 1Spot Pro CS7 and like it very much. Nice price too. Not sure about joining power supplies into a single power cable. Not something I would want to do.

I like the Carl Martin Pro Power V2.

MXR Iso Brick. I have nothing but good things to say about this isolated power brick.

Cioks has a system that allows you to chain multiple power supplies. Invalid Link Removed

I'm using it, too, and I also have a PP2 that works well but adds a lot of weight to the board so I don't really use it except at home once in a great while and I keep it as a backup. The MXR does have a wall wart, but it's very light, has a ton of available power (which I need for some high-draw pedals I use like my wireless), and the wall wart is easier to deal with than adding more weight to an already heavy board.

This for me as well.

Yup, plenty of power for my pedals and the often overlooked variable power ports make it a win for me.

This one is a great piece of kit, and has served me well for a few years already. Link Removed

I use the Donner DP-1. It is very reasonably priced, does not add any noise and has LEDs to light the pedal board. I power my wireless, pedals and DI with this unit. Has been rock solid, in service since June of this year.

Can't believe how cheap that one is.

Because it's not truly isolated.

You can stack two isolated 9V into a single 18V (series connected) with a cable made by Voodoo Labs, can order on Sweetwater for sure. However, paralleling two 9V to increase current capacity not a good idea; they will fight each other and not split current equally over any voltage difference between them.

As for joining two power cords, that's fairly easy. It's just 120V power. A small junction box, two cables in using strain relief connectors. I prefer butt splice connectors to wire nuts. Cut both cords fairly short. Save one male end for the outgoing cord. Splice everything together. Black to black to black. White to white to white. Green to green to green. One male cord out. We're not talking high enough current levels for a ton of heat to build up here.

There's also adapters like this if your power supplied use a universal receptacle.

Guess I misunderstood you here; thought you meant power supply outs, not AC in.

Oh.

I use this as well. I'm generally very happy with it.

I'm a big fan of the Srrymon Zuma. It's one of the highest current supplying units out there, and its easily expandable with the Ojai units. It's a spendy unit, but well worth the investment, IMO.

Well. That's the last time I take an item description at face value.

FWIW the unit has been working well for me so far.

Yeah it probably works fine, just not isolated. Notice that main bank all share 100ma, so just don't exceed that.
