Pedal Power Adaptor

[benbenben]

Hey guys,
Wondering what is good for a multi pedal power adaptor. Is the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power any good?
Daisy Chaining isn't as good cause it causes hissing? Is that correct?
At the moment i have a Fulltone Wah, a Keeley Ts9 and a DD6, i need to power them up with an adaptor, and room to supply more pedals in the future.
Any suggestions?

Re: Pedal Power Adaptor

Daisy chaining is fine as long as you have a good power supply and quiet pedals. I can chain together 6-7 boss pedals from a single boss power supply pedal without any problems. The cheaper power supplies are the ones you have to watch out for, they will usually cause noticible noise, especially in distortion pedals I've found.

Voodoo Labs is a good product

If you've got the room for it, you can't beat a Pedal Power. The power is clean and quiet. I did A/B comparisons recently with the Pedal Power 2+ and the 1Spot.



Anybody wanna buy a slightly used 1Spot? I didn't think so....

Re: Pedal Power Adaptor

I use a Diago Powerstation (http://www.diago.co.uk/) to power my pedalboard.

It has a large current output if necessary, but is also tightly regulated so that it can power upto around 20 - 30 pedals I believe

It's not too expensive either!

I thoroughly recommend it

True, with the caveat that it can occasionally cause ground loop hum.

I've got a Godlyke and it does the job with no hum or hiss.

I was going to say this... but he beat me to it... so I won't... well. maybe...

Yeah, I love my Godlyke - works great for me. And they give you a bunch of different adapters which I used for reverse polarity and such

Also true Hey, how's that magic stomp? I've heard a lot of good stuff about them . . .

Still diggin' it...

...but the 12V wall wart is the biggest downside to the thing IMO.

Re: Pedal Power Adaptor

I use a one spot with both of my pedalboards. I don't use a lot of effects, but this works well. I had to replace one because it started to hiss, but they covered it under warantee.

+1 to the onespot...this thing rocks. I power 5 pedals (including a huge Line6 DL4) and for about $35, it is awesome, and no wall wart.

Re: Pedal Power Adaptor

+1 for Godlyke if you're on a budget. No niose and it works with just about any pedal. Different adapters included. Same power suply used in rack gear = very quiet. Or if you can spend more then look at VoodooLabs or other highend solution.

Re: Pedal Power Adaptor

Ok, two questions, so ultimate tone preservation 9volt batteries are still the best? and will godlyke and spot one work for TS9 reissue and Bad Hoarsie I wah
by Morley?

Re: Pedal Power Adaptor

the MKS pedalpad is also an option, I'm gonna get me one.

Re: Pedal Power Adaptor

I'm happy with my Carl Martin Big John. No hum or hizz.
Exception: Line6 ToneCore Echo Park + any other pedal.
Does anybody experience a similar problem with other power supplies? Does the Voodoo Lab work quietly with Line6 ToneCore series?

Re: Pedal Power Adaptor

Either 1 of the VisualSound 1 Spot adapter or the Godlyke adapter will do the job. As long as you buy the Daisy chain with them.

I use the 1spot and I powerup:
- Dunlop Wah
- Korg DT-10 Tuner
- Boss NS-2
- MXR Microamp

and I never had any hiss or hum problems. As long as your not powering something up that has a different current type (AC instead of DC) and as long as your not trying to power pedals that will suck more juice than the adapter can provide, you should be fine.
