power supply

[hellatone]

I would appreciate advice on effect power supplies. This has become an issue because I've recently gotten an Ibanez DL-10 delay pedal, which I think is great, but I understand that delay pedals use up batteries pretty quickly and so a power supply/converter is best. I have a number of other pedals but typically I use only the delay and my TS-9 and rangemaster clone when playing. So I can either get a converter just for the delay, or I can get a Power-All sort of thing to power all my pedals. Are there better brands to get? If I just get a converter for the delay, can I get anything that fits and puts out 9 volts? Most of the converters indicate they're for use only with certain effect brands. Is this so? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!:smokin:

If you have enough pedals to justify it you could always get a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2. It will be the best $170 you'll spend!!!

I've got a dunlop 'dc-brick' that works really well. not as many features as the voodoo labs but $70 cheaper.

+1.

I love my PP2+ to no end. It's not cheap, but it has some great features on it and it's one of the best ways I've found to quiet down your signal chain.

If you only use 3 effects, maybe you should look into just a few AC adaptors?

I would second the DC Brick. I used to use 5 pedals, but I only use 2 now. It's better than using separate adaptors.

Anything is better than seprate adapters IMHO! I am soooo spoiled now!!!

Re: power supply

The Dunlop DC Brick is ok and actually great if you run a few normal pedals...mostly later Boss and Dunlop stuff but if you want to power all kinds of wild stuff (Like I do!) the VooDoo Labs PP2+ is THE way to go...it'll power everything from both kinds of Boss, DOD, Fulltone, line 6, etc, etc...plus it also has a very cool "sag" feature that sounds killer with vintage style fuzztones!

Best money you con sink into a pedal set up next to a board to mount it all on!
