Need a good power supply without spending too much...

[bdhoward27]

I want to be able to get as much out of my chain as possible. Can anyone suggest a good power supply? I was looking at the Joyo JP-02. Looks like it's around $50. Not looking to spend much more than that. Currently, I have 2 Boss A/C adapters powering chain. At work at the moment and they're not in front of me, but I believe they're 9-volt. Chain listed below:

Korg Pitchblack Tuner
Boss LMB-3 Limiter/Enhancer
Boss LS-2 Line Selector
Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive
Joyo Ultimate Drive
Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

I have one of these and I love it.
Plus, it lights up really cool.

If you only need 9V then the best bang for the buck is a 1Spot adapter and a daisychain to connect all pedals.

Or just keep what you have now, a new power supply won't make any difference in terms of "getting the most out of your chain", it will sound the same as it does now.

These seem to work for many.

Thank you for your reply. My thoughts about getting a power supply weren't necessarily directed toward getting more "power" out of my pedals. I should have worded it differently. What I'm worried about is a pedal shorting out, or a battery dying, while I'm playing live. It's happened before and I had to bypass them and go directly into the amp. At the time, it was a real bummer considering I worked hard on a tone that I couldn't access. Believe me, I change the 9-volts before playing a live show now, but that's going to start getting costly in the near future. The reason I would purchase a power supply would be specifically for ease-of-mind so if a pedal happens to short while I'm playing, the whole chain won't be affected. Will a decent power supply give me that so I can focus strictly on the music?

You say you have two adapters at the moment, and I'm guessing either one could power all of your pedals (sum up their total requirements and see how much they need). I don't really see a big difference in your situation if you were to buy either a new wall wart type adapter like a 1Spot, keep what you have now, or buy a bigger power supply. They can all fail. If you worry about this I'd say the best you can do is have batteries in your pedals *and* use a power supply, either your current ones or something new. If the mains powered supply fails, yank all the 9V cables and continue on battery power.

Personally I use a 1Spot to power my board of 15 pedals, and I have a second 1Spot in a bag just in case. I don't expect to ever use the spare though.

@SunnBass - how long are the cables that come with the Joyo power supply? I see that it comes with 10 cables? They would have to at least be 3ft each for me to be comfortable. All of my pedals aside from tuner are 9-volt Boss pedals. Shouldn't have a problem with them, right?

Thanks

3 feet? That's pretty long.
They're about 1 foot which should be plenty long enough to power a pedal board.
There are 10 plugs, but know that 8 of them are 9volt, 1 is 12volt and 1 is 18volt.

Here's a photo of mine in action:

Thanks for your response. Nice setup btw.

I'm assuming it specifies which cables are 9-v, 12-v & 18-v? Really considering buying this so any other info would be very helpful and much appreciated.

Caline CP-05. It's literally the same exact thing as the Joyo with a different name. Goes for $35 on eBay.

I've used mine for about 6 months now without issue, seems to be well above the quality level you would expect from a $35 power supply.

Yes, the 12v and 18v are clearly marked, here's the product page:

This one is the same, @gregmon79 has one and he likes it. Different brand, same product:

Good call Sunn, the Joyo stuff totally slipped my mind. DER!

That's the one I was referencing, $35 on eBay. Didn't even realize you could get them anywhere else. Highly recommended.

www.partsexpress.com has the Caline CP-50 as well. Mine works fine.
