Power supply on or off the pedalboard?

That DC7 is tempting

There’s more to it than that; you have to add up all the mA(milliamp)draw values; if the total is under what the wall wart in a daisy chain delivers, lucky you, but you may still have some of the other issues already discussed(i.e., isolated grounding).

Well yeah, obviously you have to make sure you have an appropriately sized power supply.

Yet another mod for raising a board is to use rubber cane tips; make sure the opening matches the standard rubber feet width. Twist them on at the gig, take them off for transport.

This is what I'm currently doing. I'd rather not have to worry about it if I have to slide the board or something, but I don't see another great solution for myself.

You’d be surprised how many don’t know that, thinking it’s the equivalent of a plug strip, or otherwise use just any old wall wart. Then there’s problem child fx boxes that have to be powered separately. I’ve had to help three different guitarists sort out their messes.

Hello,
I bought a few pedals recently and I also have a power supply too. I was wondering if it is worth getting a bigger pedalboard for the sake of the power supply being attached on it eg. pedaltrain classic jr, or is it too annoying to have like a nano+ and have the power supply on the ground next to the pedalboard? Thanks

Much better to have the power supply mounted. Easier to move, less likely that cables get damaged. Pick a board based on how many pedals you plan to have and how the power supply your already have will fit for example I have a pedal train mini which is a flat board like the nano. Only a few power supplies fit under it. So if the power supply doesn’t fit you might want to look at a board like the temple audio solo 18
