Power supply for pedal board

Posted on

Member Since: Jun 02, 2008

Hey all, I've just built myself a pedal board and it's looking very expensive to buy adaptors for all the pedals I have. Been looking at various ones like the DC Brick from Dunlop but they all say something along the lines of "Can power ten pedals...so long as they dont suck more than 200mA each" or something along those lines.

whilst I have a few small 200mA 9V DC pedals, the main ones i use are the Line 6 DL4 and the Digitech Harmony Man which use 1200mA and 1300mA 9V AC respectively.

The pedals on the board are (in no particular order):

- Dunlop Crybaby 535Q
- Boss Tremolo TR2
- Boss Digital Delay DD6
- Line 6 Delay DL4
- Digitech Harmony Man
- Boss Graphic EQ GE7

Does anyone know of a multi power supply that can supply enough power of both types to juice up all my pedals?

Is it even possible to have a PSU that outputs both AC and DC down different lines?

and finally, does anyone know how much 9V DC power the Crybaby 535Q needs? I know theres a power supply for it but I was wondering what it needs so I know what power requirements my board will have overall. I had a look on the pedal but there wasnt really much information other than "adapters over 20mA will work". I have a 300mA adapter for a Morley Wah I had a bit ago, would that be ok with it?

Bear in mind these pedals are for use on UK power supplies, 240v etc

cheers

Voodoo Labs Plus or Delux. Something like that. But, it's great power supply and can handle the Line 6 stuff along with the Boss.

How about the One-Spot? People rave about it, its cheap, and its versatile:

I made my own back in the day (like 15 years ago), daisy chained some power plugs, velcro on the pedals, it was cheap, and awesomely cool...velcro is the most expensive part...

cheers cynic, ive been looking at the voodoo labs power supply and they look by far and away the most versatile and well built. Its good to know it can handle the DL4 as well as the boss/crybaby, dont spose u know if it can handle the digitech in my setup as well?

The local VFW or Legion should be good for that.

I use OneSpot. I like it a lot, it comes with a few handy adapters. I use the Malmsteen signature overdrive pedal and it has an 1/8th inch power input instead of the standard 9v adapter head, OneSpot even comes with one of those.
