Re: Powersupplies. The million dollar question
Haven't tried one but for the Cioks line they sell voltage doubler flex cables. Not sure if the RCA side is compatible with a Pedal Power either really... But might help you.

Re: Powersupplies. The million dollar question
I was always really confused as to what that even did.

Re: Powersupplies. The million dollar question
I ran a PSM5 for a while
It's an effects loop plus a power supply
never used the power supply
effects loop was pretty good
Had a nice buffer on it
power supply is basically a throughput for whatever 9v you put in, so it's the first line in a daisy chain
Lost mine in a flood a few years back
nice gadget to have
That MXR ISO brick looks nice

Jean,
If you see this. Serious question as you have a shit ton of pedals and I'm assuming some of them have different power requirements. What are you using?
I just want to have the least amount of cords coming out of that fucker as possible. Especially since I may be lugging it across the city every week now.

Re: Powersupplies. The million dollar question
Look into the walrus audio Phoenix. Maybe that plus some creative cabling would do the trick.

Re: Powersupplies. The million dollar question
I saw that. Dunno when it actually hits the market though. Plus 270. Fuck. LOL. I mean it's good. It has one 18v, which is nice. Not enough outs to do my whole board. FUCK.Inconuucl wrote:Look into the walrus audio Phoenix. Maybe that plus some creative cabling would do the trick.
Someone make a supply that has has 20 fucking outs on it for crying out loud. Make them adjustable so you're not stuck with dumb ass things you don't need.

Re: Powersupplies. The million dollar question
Along with things colored orange and red, I don't let anything with strange power requirements on my board. The only weird one is the H9 which is covered by the green cable (for + power) on the Cioks. I have 3 power supplies. I have one plug that I plug into the wall - under the board are two plugs - one goes to a ciokolate the other goes to a Cioks schizophrenic that daisy chains into a Cioks DC-10. Every pedal has it's own isolated jack. I could probably get away with two power supplies and daisy chain fuzzes, but since I use the board for recording I want everything super quiet. The board was designed to allow the middle row to be super flexible and swappable as long as I use pedals that are 125b-sized with top jacks - Iron Ether, Dr. Scientist and Earthquaker favor these so I think I'm in good hands. Hope that covered it.jwar wrote:elevenstrings wrote:Get rid of that booteek shit, then get yourself one of these. Problem solved!

So, from my experience I wouldn't have stuff that had to be 18v on the board. Hate to say it, but with so many great builders out there - I'd prefer to just find stuff that works with my system. Any problematic pedals go bye-bye. (that includes sidejacks lol)

Re: Powersupplies. The million dollar question
The Phoenix is shipping out on the 24th. Tempted to pulled the trigger. I want to upgrade my power supply as well but this might be a bit overkill.jwar wrote:I saw that.

On the other hand its cheaper than a Mondo, same price as a ISO 5 & a PP2+ together, is smaller than either of those options and has more outputs.

Re: Powersupplies. The million dollar question
If it wasn't for the fact that I want a turntable to play some LPs with then I'd get the Phoenix with my tax return. 
If anyone wants to trade a turntable for my ppt2+, hit me up.

Re: Powersupplies. The million dollar question
I bought a third PP+ and some 18v adapters. Said fuck it. The nice thing is you can daisy chain PP+ into the curiosity outlet. Read about it on Voodoo Labs forum or whatever that shit is. Works great.
