Pretty much as the title says.

I'm looking to get a decent power supply for my board since I'm lugging a cheap 9v DC brick and two separate supplies for the Whammy and Timeline around, all hooked up to an extension cable. It's a bit impractical and a drastic downsizing would be good.

I've always been a bit illiterate to powering pedals and really only concentrated on noises, but I think that's my undoing now.

I've been looking at the T Rex fuel tank since it's got a good amount of outputs (room for inevitable pedalboard expansion) and has an AC out which I think will cover the Whammy, but I have no idea if it'll power a Timeline as well.

Really, I'm not looking to break the bank and I'd say this is kinda the upper limit to how much I want to shell out, but if anyone has any suggestions on what'd work, it'd make you rad if you shared.

the timeline is 9vDC center negative, 300mA. so u could power that from your 9vDC brick as well. or something like a onespot w/ an 8 multi cable would work perfectly for that...and then you'd only have 1 extra adapter for your whammy. (not sure what the whammy requirements are, they dont say on their website)

a onespot w/ cable is like $20 USD...waaayyyy cheaper than 129 pounds for the TRex...
i've had 7 pedals and an sp303 hooked up to a onespot all at once w/o any issues, so its gunna have enough mA to power all your peds (minus the whammy)

I literally just got this, it was delivered a few minutes ago. http://electronbluemusic.com/Blue_Power_12.html
.
All isolated, and filtered for the 12 outputs. I have a TimeLine, so I can report back later. This won't fit under a PT board, I don't use one so whatever. It isn't as tall as I feared but it is a bit over 4" tall with the knobs on top. The price seems to jump around. I have been watching it for a bit. I got mine for $99 + 8 shipping. Seems like a ridicously good deal.

i think the whammy needs 9V AC. Im pretty sure the adaptor it comes with is 9VAC 1300 mA which is crazy. Im not sure if it actually consumes that much current but ive never had another 9V AC adaptor to see if it can work with less. That supply looks pretty sweet but it does not seem to have an AC option.

I have a Cioks AC10, and it can power my whammy (9VAC), my Octavius Squeezer (DC, 300 mA or so), DD-20 (200 mA) and 6 other lower-power 9V pedals, although I daisy chained a few of them. It could easily power all of that if you daisy chained a few of the 9VDC pedals together. If you want them ALL isolated, check out the Ciokolate

Cioks probably has something for you...

That fueltank you linked is just a dc brick (a.k.a. overpriced onespot).
The other trex fueltanks are isolated/nicer, though probably won't cover your needs.

I've had my eye on one of those forever! Dem lights Always end up spending the money on something else though...

The price fluctuations are crazy though! A couple weeks ago it was showing up as $180, and then dropped back down.

Man, that Ciokolate isn't messing about! I dread to think what the RRP would be on it though.
The AC-10 seems like a good option, although finding a UK distributor is being a bit of a problem. I'll keep an eye out though.
Although the OneSpot would be cheaper, its not really what I'm after, plus a secure power supply on my board means there's nothing to move about or come loose - it'd just be there to plug in with no faff.
Looking again, that T Rex one doesn't have a hope in hell of powering the Whammy. I have no idea how much mA it actually draws, but if the power supply says 1300, I can't imagine it working on the 500mA the T Rex has to offer.
Thanks for the replies so far!

Maybe this?

No AC, he needs 9vAC for the Whammy.

Ondrak, the AC10 gives 800mA on the AC outlet, and my whammy runs fine. So it definitely does not need 1300.

However, the T-Rex Fuel Tank's AC jack is 12V, you need 9V for the Whammy.

That seems great, I've bookmarked the page so I can watch the price fluctuations too. If it gets down to $99 again I'll probably go for it, I've been wanting a better power supply for a while but I just can't make myself spend a lot of money on one.

I live in the UK and you are right there is no distribution, but I got one from here shippid us to uk:

With the usual UK prices you will ship it, pay taxes and will still be quids in. Cioks stuff is the best.
I think it is cheaper here than buying from europe or at least it was when i got mine...

Yeah, that's who I got it from, I bought it through their eBay store, and it says they ship worldwide:

Watch this guy's Ebay store. I got it for $99 off of EBay while the price was higher on his website...I don't understand this style of pricing but whatever, i did well I think.

I thought the Whammy needed an AC...website says DC.
