Making a Power supply?

[BruceBass3901]

I am looking to build a powe rsupply for roughly 10 pedals (lets say all 9V for now) and I would like to know if anybody here has attempted to make / made one?

I know that many of you out there are electronics bods, so how would I go about making each outlet isolated?

Any help will be appreciated

You should first realize that building a power supply means working with 220 volts AC (since you're in the UK). This can cause you to

a) die
b) burn your house down
c) burn down any club where you might be using this supply,

if you don't know what you're doing.

The isolation part is much easier than doing safe mains wiring. Read up on that and decide if you think it's worth the trouble and risk to save a few bucks, then we can help from there. Personally, I wouldn't bother. If you want to save money by building electronics yourself, I would start by building clones of all of your pedals first and selling the ones you have. The absolute last place where you should DIY is the power supply, IMO.

+1, messing with electricity can get ugly.
blowing a fuse at a club and all lights and music being out for the rest of the night wouldn't be fun, i know thats extreme but still.

unless you actuly know what you are doing thi isn't something to try.
JUST BUY ONE! IT ISN'T WORTH IT!

Also building your own (quality)powersuply would probably be (a lot) more expensive than buying a decent one readymade...

+1, messing with electricity can get really bad if you don't know what your doing.
I made one using an old laptop PC's PSU...

I think Conical Johnson summarised very well pros and cons.

Unless you are 100% certain you know what you are doing, it is much easier/cheaper/safer buy one.
