power supplying pedals

I don't see the big WHOOP about daisychaining from the TU-2, it's not like it does anything a better tuner and 5 buck daisychain won't do.

Saves space?

YARRZ.

The Blackout looks like a fantastic little guy, I'd jump at that one first.

A little word 'bout the TU-2: With your present setup things should be quite dandy, but I heard somewhere that the TU-2 won't supply beyond 200mA of 9V juice from its DC output, so check for blinking lights and exciting amp pops if it ends up underpowering the rest in the signal chain under a heavier load.

And I'll throw out a random word of caution while bringing up the OneSpot...From running it with a number of pedal combos over the past 2 months I have found that it does not like the New Dano Cool Cat Vibe pedal and occasionally my Micro POG, even with just 3 other mildly power sucking boss pedals in the daisy-chained lineup. Not sure what to make of it, really, it hasn't been the best backup for my dependable Voodoo Labs Pee-Pee-Too when the above pedals are back on the ultra chain gang, although just fine with all of my dirt pedals/comps/Boss pedals themselves.

I use the JD DC Brick, it just uh works. Comes with 7x9v and 3x18v and a total o/p of 1000 milliamps. The 3x18v are the main reason i bought it above any other as, for instance, one of my pedals requires a 12v supply. Picture below for size guide (for some reason, i imagined it to be huge before i bought it), excuse the mess.

i've used a 1 spot and it's powered everything w/out noise and it doesn't take up any space hardly

Is your tubescreamer suffering from Hypothermia?

I believe Tim has one also.

I just watched a youtube demo. Sounds pretty good. I think these sounds like a modern version of 60's Pink Floyd mixed with 80's U2....

You're pretty near me, I could sling it your way for one of your infamous demos I suppose.

Sure, just keep that Tubescreamer away from me.

Ok so I opted for the Maplin gizmo sure enough - it's smaller than I thought, and powers up me three pedals just fine thankyew.

Excellent advice, thanks again Mike.

Next I'm gonna build a board - there's probably like 42 major threads about that right here. Can anyone point me rightways or throw me a few vital tips?

Thanks - I'm fcuking knackered - just back from holiday en famille (two kids under five).

Glad it worked out for you, ProgRockAbuse just made a great board himself, he posted it in the pictures thread in this forum. Have a flick through and pm him.
