Pedal Power Supply

Post by dallasisacowboy »

I need a power supply that will support everything running on my board currently, I'm running two separate power supplies and one of 'em is on its last leg. I think I'd rather consolidate and just have one supply for everything besides the few preamp pedals I have that require their own supply. With that being said, I have 7 9VDC pedals on the board that have relatively low mA draws and another two that require at least 400mA. I have one 12VDC pedal on the board and then one 18VDC pedal on the board. That's it. I've had good luck with Voodoo Labs in the past but I'm down to try whatever y'all recommend. Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you could do everything you need on a Strymon Zuma. The only catch with the Zuma is its ramping element, which means it won't power the EHX 9 series, the Geiger Pro, and a couple other select digital pedals.

port 1 (shared port): you can daisy chain low-current analog pedals up to 500ma combined
ports 2-5 (isolated digital pedals or overflow from other 7 pedals)
port 6 (400ma pedal isolated)
port 7 (400ma pedal isolated)
port 8 (12v)
port 9 (18v)

Some of the Yankee supplies would also work.

Truetone 1 Spot Pro CS12 almost covers everything... short one 9V pedal if you use the 12V out if I'm doing my pedal math correctly. The Walrus Phoenix only goes up to 300mA.

This doesn't power all 11 pedals unless I am missing something? Y'all daisy chaining off one of the outputs?

Each isolated output has 850 ma at 9v. I would just Daisy chain some pedals off different outputs that don't make noise together. Any output can be 12 or 18 v. It also has USB power and a 24 v chain output for a second isolated box. I just think the flexibility can't be beat and it's been noiseless in every situation I've used it (so has the voodoo labs, but the outputs are restricting with ma when using high draw pedals).

Yup! I power an OCD at 18v and a Strymon El Capistan plus four other pedals with just my DC5 and the use of Cioks' special split flex cables.
