Diasy Chaining

no complaints so far and i've had it for a while. it is quite heavy and takes up space though.

Did I really used through instead of throw?

Word harder Reece.

I use a voodoo lab pedal power II plus. They're not too expensive and they work great.

my experience wasn't as such.
Doog is right, the pedal doesn't supply any more power (in fact it is electronically impossible for it to do so), it just has an output power jack connected to the input power jack.

oh, wasn't saying it was the pedal doing anything but providing the output. for whatever reason, just daisy chaining from a regular ol' pedal years and years ago didn't work. could've been a number of things going there, not the least of which being my n00bness. still begs the question, while build the output into that pedal? why not build it into every pedal? meh.

Why not in every pedal? space issues and cost.

Why build it into a tuner? Adds interest to a boring pedal, it can look neater.

Boss Tuner pedals can power other pedals because Boss know that nobody in their right mind would pay $90 for a shitty tuner.

Would THIS power my daisy chain ok? My power supply won't work with the daisy chain. Not enough current presumably. I think I also fried my delay by seeing if maybe I'd left the polarity switched for my keyboard. I hadn't.

Should have more than enough current. Make sure you set it on 9V DC.

Hopefully it'll be ok but daisy chains can sometimes be noisy. I love my Diago but it is pricey, like.

What Reece said. Can also apply to cheap multi-output power bricks like mine that use a common earth - a bunch of Behringer/Boss pedals is fine but add one Line 6 and you're screwed by unwanted noise. On the other hand, my Line 6 pedals will take a wall wart that hums like hell with an ordinary pedal and not worry about it.
