Samesies except I use a BBE Supa Charger instead of a PP2.

I've been using the BBE charger for the past 3 years. It was great until recently. Shit out on me a few times in the past couple of months during critical moments. I'm going with the Voodoo Labs charger soon.

I use One Spot, but since i got my self a germ-fuzz i would need another one since its positive ground.
Could i use a T-rex Fuel Tank JR for both positive and negative ground pedals?

If you have isolated power output, like the PP+ or the Artec, will the grounding of the pedal matter? Won't it be just like plugging it into a single boss adapter?

That Artec is giving me the sexy eyeballs with it's low low price. Then I might be able to swing a Joyo Ultimate Ocatve fuzz too. :drool:

The arctec is the same as the dunlop brick, not isolated.

Negative/positive ground just means you can't mix and match off the same output/daisy chain.
Something with isolated outs like the fuel tank jr would work fine.

I'm tellin you dudes...don't skimp on your power supplies. I used to be the same way..."why spend $$$ on power when you can buy more fuzz?"
...then shit started breaking, a few nice pedals fried...I'm totally OCD about clean/isolated power now.
There are some that call me...morningstaru?

This was my experience with a OneSpot. Eventually, something gets fucked up from those high current daisy chains. Hopefully something inexpensive and easily replaceable.

These claims of pedals getting fucked up on onespots...how many boxes were in the chain? Were you using it with just one?

I can actually daisy-chain up to 5 pedals using a hamster running on a wheel as my source of power.

I was powering 5. The OneSpot actually fried somehow, taking the first two fuzz pedals in line with it. Everything analog and low current draw, not sure what went wrong with it. That's the last time I used a OneSpot or any daisy chain equivalent.

I know several people who use 'em though, trouble and noise free.

PP2+, Iso-5, Fuel Tank Jr., and a Sanyo Eneloop. All great for different uses.
Maybe partying will help.

Both of the Artec power supplies are listed as individually isolated power supply. It's the 'Joyo Power Supply' that's a copy of the dunlop brick. Or is the description wrong?
