I must not touch that button ...
Yup, same boat. IsoBrick would solve my power woes.
Well, it looks like you probably got the last of their stock. Not a moment after I listed my Chameleon for sale and had a potential buyer did I go to Prymaxe and see they're now out of stock of the IsoBrick... And so is everyone else that's offering a good sale.
Not sure if this has been asked'n answererd, but here goes.
Since I got the Brick, I've been using it with the angled ends plugged into the pedals and the straight ends plugged into the Brick.
Can I invert the cables and use the angled ends to plug into the Brick and the straights into the pedals ? Can't see anything specifically about this in the user manual, but from the looks of the barrels, I'm thinking why not... anybody tried this ?

Thought so. Was sorta hoping you would be on the job, I know you're quite familiar with this unit
.You finally got all 4 of'em ?

Still waiting for my first three, but the plugs have been discussed quite a bit in the breeder thread. I am going to order 2 more I think. I think I need 5 after all.
These little gadgets sure know how to make themselves desired.... Mine is the only I saw "in person".
There's one at a local shop here in CA. It might take a while to get to you but I think you can order it from his website, norcalguitarsupply.comAll I want is 1.
Glad I only needed one and I got it already 
Been running it for a month and a half using 10 pedals and two wirelesses, and it's been totally solid and problem-free for me on probably 15 gigs now. I got to test its isolation abilities with my EHX Pitch Fork, which buzzed when I tried to put it on a daisy chain with 3 other effects and stopped buzzing when I gave it its own power output. So now I can confirm that it does isolate And having the wall wart really hasn't been an issue. I can usually find an outlet nearby within the length of the wall wart's cable, and when I can't, I just attach an extension cord to it and velcro the wall wart under the board next to the Iso Brick. I don't find it any less convenient than a hookup like the PP2.
So now my board is super light, all the big pedals are gone, almost half are 1590a's, and the only "heavy" pedal left is the OC-2. Nice!

Et tu, Brute? Would love one, but the exchange rate is murder and I already have the OC-2You need a Cog Effects T-16 octaver then.
We're always here and ready to help spend your money.

If you now have more room, maybe you should get a Broughton PowerStage and get an actual power tube sound
Gee, where would I find real power tube sound otherwise...sure wish I had some power tubes...If you now have more room, maybe you should get a Broughton PowerStage and get an actual power tube sound

You traditionalists with your functional amps and stuff.
Well, ordered two more from Welcome to Bass Strings Online - Your Custom Bass String Shop...
When prymaxe finally ships the ones I ordered there, I'll have 5. Hopefully that should be enough coupled with the 5 Decibel 11 units.
