Powersupplies. The million dollar question

Post by Jwar »

GUYS! GUYS! GUYS! So this has been covered so much it's sickening, but I don't care! I must ask anyway.

I have 4 18v pedals and like and the rest are 9v. I think I have like 20 pedals total on board. Is there a supply I can buy that can do all this or am I doomed to do it the hard way?

You could do it with a ciokolate and some jumper cables. How easy it is depends whether your 18v pedals can be daisy chained or not.
My ciokolate shit itself and died though so i really can't recommend that one anymore considering how fucking expensive it is.
The MXR/dunlop DC brick has two 18v outs so you could run like two of those or one plus another isolated PSU and it wouldn't take up much space, they're very small.

I've had cioks for 10 years now and never had a problem. Dude Backwards, get in touch with them and fix that shit.

Hear, how many mA are the pedals you want to run, and what are they?

I have a cheap power bank power supply. That has 6x 9v outlets rated at 100ma each and 4x 18v outlets rated at 200ma each. Might be a good cheap solution.

I bought a DOD Death Metal from Donny and was surprised the battery door was intact. I opened it up and found one of these inside and laughed to myself for a couple minutes at the juxtaposition of Mathews and DEATH METAL.

So I'm powering 3 Toneczar pedals which need 18v 110-120v (DC obviously) and the Skeleton Prince In Limbo which is 18v 100 ma. Not sure of the ma conversion on the Toneczar pedals?

Anyway, Toneczar will mod a Pedal Power Plus to all 18v outs, but I don't know how long that takes and it cost a 100 bucks, which would make my supply like 300 dollars. So that's why I'm wondering if there's a simpler solution.

What was that weird inexpensive power supply you had up in b/s/t a while back? That was you, right? Was there any particular problem with that (other than it not having the right number of outs / voltages)? Maybe they've added some products to their line, or will do custom work?

Wait you mean that huge blue stupid thing? Those aren't isolated, so it's basically a huge daisy chain. Plus huge as shit. hahaha.

I'm not sure what their company is even called?

Bah! Crap.

Alas, that was my one idea.

Isolated and you can hook many of them up as you like.
