Simple Question: How can I power a pedal board for less than $50, and is it advisable to do so? (Criterion: no added hissing, oscillating, noise, etc. from the power supply.)
For instance, if you go to amazon and search for "pedal board power supply," five out of the first six results are under $50, and they're all rated 4.5/5 stars (though a couple of them don't have as many reviews) - are any of those actually any good? Keeping in mind that I'm on a tight budget and a relatively small pedal board, will they at least suffice?
Now, I like this idea a whole lot less (I think I'd prefer an actual power brick), but it might still be worth something: Right now, I only have 4-5 pedals to power - is a daisy chain OK, or am I more than likely to end up with one made in China, with cheap parts, that adds a lot of noise and doesn't adequately/efficently power all five pedals?
If everybody says I need to spend more money on a power supply, I'll grit my teeth and do it, but if so many as one of you supports my penny-pinching, I'm going that route. Thanks guys!
