please help them, actually.


budget not an issue, i remember running across a pedal power distributor that lets you choke the voltage. that is pretty cool, assuming i wont risk damaging my stupid overpriced boutique crap.

Godlyke power supplies are an equally good option...and a daisy chain. I use a one spot with a godlyke daisy chain!

If it takes a normal 9v plug in, you'll probably be fine. I run 10 pedals off of one now. No noise problems or anything.

I love my one spot, I run two, one for each row. I have no more noise than plugging straight into the amp. at least when all the effects are off.

Some digital pedals may introduce noise when daisy chained, some people say the RRR has noise issues when daisy chained, but I haven't noticed any (unless I have my space heater on) but my Muza FD900 does have a little extra noise now that I no longer have an adapter just for it, but nothing that turning up my Super Reverb doesn't hide. I currently have 8 pedals all running off my one spot and everything is great in life.

One Spot was alright when I used one years ago but I eventually got so many pedals things started hissing and it just wasn't providing the power or voltage variety my shit was requiring. If you run a small board with nothing high draw or odd voltage, it should be just fine.

If you wanna bypass that option and go straight to the best, I'd recommend CIOKS, hands down. I use a few DC10s and they're superb, replaced my PP2+s a couple years back. Smaller than the Voodoo Labs stuff with far more available current and voltage options. I've never had any reliability issues and they power everything I have on two boards quietly, no hiss to speak of, and that board includes tons of high gain stuff and noisemakers but nothing acts up. If you run anything like Strymon or Eventide, that's the one to get. Also sports a nice LED status system to indicate all outs are operational clarify voltage settings with just a glance.

Otherwise, the PP2+ is probably what I'd use. Equally reliable and quite but less expensive. Where it falls short is available power, the most current you can get from a single out is 250mA. You gotta start combining outs to get any higher so it's a little limited in that respect. They have the "Digital Power" too but again, neither is as versatile as one CIOKS. Oh, the Aux AC adapter on the back is nice too, used to chain my supplies together using those or run the random oddball pedal it couldn't support.

You can also daisy chain off any out you choose but you'll lose isolation in that particular out and possibly introduce noise, all depends.

If you

CIOKS is your best bet if you decide to go with an isolated multi suppy.

The DC10 or AC10 depending on your needs. The CIOKOLATE if you never wanna buy another supply again and plan on a monster board like me. ;)
