Yes - this is exactly what you want. I have one of these and a Diago and I can't tell any difference.
+1000000 - I bought one of these instead, and it's brilliant.

I use the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 mounted under my pedaltrain pro. It works great for me, I am powering different voltage pedals like a DL4, Polychorus, Worm in addition to various 9 volt pedals.

I am sure any similar power brick will work as long as it powers all your pedals without noise.
I am powering: Behringer Ultra octave, EHX Big Muff w/ tone wicker, Homemade fuzz face with dc power input (well soon anyway), Boss DD-6 and sometimes a boss super overdrive...

Hope this helps :)

So you guys think I should get one of these? They look very tempting...

I'll go so far as to offer you a Victor Kiam-style moneyback guarantee.

I think I'll get one, whats the maximum amount of pedals do you think you could run off it without any problems? Just out of curiosity...

You could probably run 150 dirt pedals with that thing :lol:

Yeah, although I think this might just be his rack mounted stuff, there are plenty of forums that have pics of his whole set-up. The scale of it all is just insane...

I have a Diago Powerstation and have gigged with it for 2 years and it has never let me down, I run about 15 pedals from it, some at 18v with an adapter made by Diago too and I have no noise at all.

I managed to split the short bit of cable from the power unit to the daisy chain (my fault not a manufacturing fault) and I contacted James at Diago and he offered to fix it for nothing despite me having had it for over a year and the damage being my fault.

Buy the one I linked to.

I've had one for a few years and not a single problem. It's the biggest guitar related bargain I know of.

does anyone know of any quality cheap power supplys like that available in america?

I run 2 one spots on my board, so i can have my delays on different ones. they worked fine with just 1 1spot but now with 2 I get even more headroom with them. I love the 1spot! best power supply of all time.

my main reason for wanting to get a powersupply is reducing noise. I've heard the one spot's can be noisy (from UK folks however, maybe it works different with their power over there?).

what are the main features I need to look for to make sure it's quiet?

I'm currently daisy chaining off a 9.5v 300mA DigiTech wallwart.

the 1spot is 1200MA I have never had a single problem with it, neither has my bass player or anyone else I know. I dont understand all the hate for it, it works absolutely perfect, there is nothing wrong with it and it is cheap as hell! I was daisy chaining 10 pedals on one of them for a bit and had no problems, a few of those pedals were a very power hungry DL4, memory toy, and a small clone.

They are absolutely perfect.

yeah, I understand they're rated with amperage high enough to run many pedals but I've maxed out my 7 connection daisy chain on that digitech PS and never had a problem either. the only issue is noise floor. I don't see how the one spot would do anything to address this. I'm starting to think that there's really no better options than what I have unless I want step up to voodoo labs level PS with isolated outputs.

This - same as the Diago but a different sticker, that's all. Just buy it.
