OK, I'm convinced...I need a real power supply

Jimmy, though I can't confirm the fit in your application, I swear by the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. It's pretty small. I bet it will fit.

I have an ISO-5 - love the thing, but sometimes I wish I got a higher-end Voodoo Labs model to accommodate more pedals. Then I realize I really only use about 3 pedals and I get over it!

I've been using two of the older Dunlop DC Power bricks for years. I did a search and apparently MXR makes them now (?). If it's the same unit (aesthetically looks different but functionally looks pretty similar), then I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

I ran seven pedals daisy chained off the 1 spot and had no problems. I used separate 15v's for my wah and ocd. I finally broke down and bought a BBB Supa Charger. After I bought it I had buyers remorse and wished I had bought a Voodoo Labs PP2 but now that I have it I am happy. It works great. I have only had 1 gig since I got it and it was low key so I only took a minimum of pedals. In practice it works great, time will tell.

I was running 2 one spots, and my Compressore and my Mooger Fooger each had their own individual powersupplies before I finally said "screw it" and hunted down my power brick. It's actually kind of surprising how much time 4 separate power supplies can eat up... tangles and all. (Idc how carefully I rolled those cords up.. they still found a way to tangle.) That being said don't break your bank on my word. If you're fine with your setup you're fine with it.

I used to use 3, one was for backup/my 105q wah and I just braided them like a pony tail and they never tangled. Now I just use 2 and they are still kinda stuck in that braid but I would love a one cable solution. I love the ease and low price of OneSpots though.

Actually, Dunlop completely changed the design for the better. Everything is now individually isolated instead of being a daisy chain.

Jimmy, I have a Jr. and the PP2+ is the ' shitz' . Easy install and clean reliable power. :) Marc

The Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 Plus is a great supply. It has 8 isolated outputs. 4 of them are switchable between 9v and 12v. Two of them are high current (250 mA each), and it has two outputs with voltage sag. You can also use voltage doubler cables to get 18 or 24v. I currently have one mounted under my PT Jr.

Thanks for doing all that typing! Now all I have to say is "ditto."

They don't make it easy to find the info in the manual but apparently by blowing up the picture and adding up the individual outputs, and if everything can be used at once, the C12 can supply 3.5A (3500mA). Why don't they just say that instead of saying "3x the power". Having to work that hard for the info makes me inclined to walk. (done rant)
