Pedal power! (what supply do you use)

Post by grindonomicon »

I've been putting off getting a power supply for pedals... Can't do it any longer. Putting together a plywood pedal board is next. What power supply do you use?

Looking at the Dunlop DC Brick, mostly because I could run the EQD Monarch at 18v and seven more adapter-only pedals, giving me @ 10 pedals. Does anyone else use one?

I use PP2+

DC Brick doesn't have isolated outputs.

The dc brick is an overpriced onespot

I use the pp2 but there are a buncho different options out there now like the cioks dc10 or the cae/mxr one.

I use a PP2+ and CIOKS DC10. Both are super high quality with little to no noise. The CIOKS is definitely more versatile with high current options unmatched by similar supplies.

Hear goods things about the Fuel Tank line.

Also, McSpunckle is currently developing the Team Tesla which looks badass.

Me too, for people on a budget it's awesome. It powers 8 pedals. I'd like to uprade to something nice.

The same guy who sells Joyo pedals also has a DC brick for really cheap, here's a link to his ebay store.

Hot damn, thanks a lot man :hug:
It's not that I don't want an isolated power supply or anything, I really do, its just that a new pedal i'm gassing for always gets in the way :picard:

I have always used a onespot. Then I have 3 other random single supplies (that I might be able to daisy :idea: ). Two of them are in my room, but that's not enough pedals! Think I need a onespot for the bedroom.

I've tried using daisy chains with standard 9 volt adapters, and it's super noisy, way to much hum for actually play, in my opinion. One of my friends has teh Dunlop Brick, and it works really well. I'm also really curous about the McSpunkle power supply, I'd probably but two or three of those things.

The ones I have are made for pedals, and two of them for daisy if I'm not mistaken...have to check the ma's available.

The one spot has 1700 Ma, so for daisy chaining purposes you'd probably want atleast 1000-1500 for more than 5 pedals, but the only way to know is to try.

Cioks DC-10 FTW!!! Isolated goodness. RCA connectors rather than shitty 2.1mm plugs that come loose
