Powering Multiple Pedals: Advice

JamesSmann · Post by **JamesSmann** » Thu Oct 30, 2008 2:50 am

Hey gang,

When my Fuzztone With Aggressively Offensive Decals made by Salty Mike Enterprises arrives, I'll have that and a Dwarfcraft Plant Ticket and a couple of mini Dano pedals that I want to power. Here are my options:

1. buy a power brick type thing
2. buy a daisy chain thing
3. see if dots was serious about selling me his powered pedal board.

i prefer #3 of course because it gets jason caysh towards his new pedal board. and it makes powering the shizz ten times easier.

but if that becomes a non-opton for whatever reason, what do i do? give me your arguments, yo.

Insert Penis...Turn Crank. Rawk out.

That, or get a Boss tuner and use it to daisy chain all of the pedals.

I use a onespot and a Godlyke daisy chain. No issues, except when powering whacky moog shit, which is not in your list. The boss tuner/diasy chain option has a pretty low MA count, so depending on the draw of your pedalboard, you might start running out of power. Both the godlyke and onespot have huge amounts of MA on tap.

Any of those options should be fine, depends what you prefer, with the board you get the board aswell obviously which is a bonus.

dots has a really cool little board that i'm hoping he sells me. it's powered and plenty big for my purposes (something tells me i'll be a pedal rotator so having a HUGE amount of space with like ten or fifteen pedals i rarely use won't be an issue with me). as always the science flows freely on this board!

I use a JD Power Brick, only because it has 3 18V outputs available as well as the 7 9Vs; relevant for me as a couple of my pedals use weird voltages. Worth bearing in mind if you're planning on powering anything a bit 'exotic'.

DID SOMEONE SAY EXOTIC?

I use a combo of Voodoo Labs Pee-Pee II and One spot on the bigboard, with always-present 9V/12V needs and center positive DC deals all taken care of in the process. Any of the above should do just fine.

I hope my random photoshopping (was made way before reading the thread) didn't infer some kind of sudden ridicule of ss.org handiwork...Reading the whole post it seems like I might have given that impression, but it's quite far from the truth. I've bought 2 plane ticket boosts from Aen and would have already requested Mike build a Timmy or Klonk by now if my Paypal basic account still had funds in it (Gonna wait and see how things go later). Just decided to simply do a 'tarded play on the word "exotic", and might as well have posted a Hawaiian Tiki Girl.
