Adding a HX Stomp to my board and researching it needs 3A or so to power, and getting power can be tricky

Currently use a One Spot Pro(one of the outputs doesn't work anymore) so needs replacing.

I need to run a tone hammer, a keeley bassist, HX Stomp, polytune noir, sennheiser xsw wireless(12V), and would like at least an extra 9v output or two for future expansion.

Also definitely want it to mount under board and not on top

Any reccomendations?

If the question is power, my answer is almost always Cioks these days! DC7 speciffically and expansions if you need more isolated outputs.

For HX Stomp, the following is from the Cioks website on how to get it done:
How do you power a Line6 HX STOMP/FX/XL?

The Line6 Stomp requires 900ma for full operation and the HX Effects requires 1A. You will need to use a parallel flex adapter (#8800) and the yellow flex cable (#3050) to power it via two outlets from the DC7 set at 9V. Alternatively you can also use the CIOKS CRUX to power the Line6 devices from the 24V outlet on DC7. This solution would free up two outlets on DC7.

+1 for Cioks

I own Cioks, Voodoo Labs, T-Rex supplies and Cioks ones are by far my favorite. Solid current output available on each output, expandable, switchable voltage.

The only thing I do not like about Cioks is that I cannot use my EBS flat pedal power cables with them. Small tradeoff given the benefits though.

They have the Crux expansion for the DC7 that will do that now if needed, so shouldn't be any reason to go back to the DC10 anymore

Ah. That looks slick. Modular seems to be the way for, well, all things nowadays.

I don't know why they stopped making the DC10Link, but that has a power jack that'll do 1A at 9V (less at other voltages). A used one isn't a bad idea. But, ya, Cioks.

EDIT: Turns out a used DC10Link is, in fact, a bad idea.

buy once,cry once. and then enjoy the fact that you never need to worry about your power supply again. the cioks stuff is fantastic, easy to use and with its durability, cheap in the long run. the fact they make them so adaptable to anything you need them to power is just fantastic. no one else does this to the same degree in my experience.

I now have 4 DC7s, 2 8 Expanders, and a 4 Expander. They are great supplies, never had an issue with any of them. Was previously using GigRig power and I kept getting noise issues with more complex setups. Cioks just makes it easy since every output port is the same and is very flexible.

Cioks DC7 was a total game changer for me. I use mine to run 9V, 12V, 18V, and 24V pedals all on the same board, all from one box. (The 24V link output can also be used to power pedals, using an adapter cable they sell.)

I use a CIOKS DC7 with a doubler cable for my HX Stomp.
The great thing about that PSU is that all of the outputs are the same (with 4 switchable options), so you can mix & match as you choose.

My DC7 is by far the longest standing item on my board. I found a B stock unit in 2020 and haven't given a second thought to power since, and that includes running pedals at 9, 12, and 18v, running digital pedals with a high draw, and running tube pedals with really high draw. It just works and I love not having to pay attention to power requirements when looking at pedals.

Sounds like my rechargeable Solutek does all of this at 1/3 the price

The problem with the line6 stuff is they need a 2.5mm plug vs the standard 2.1mm that literally every other pedal in the world uses. SO annoying. the stomp should run on about 1A IIRC.
