what are you guys using for power supplies?

[Ascension]

I'm about to build a new board for church. I grabbed one of the large Fender aluminum boards off Reverb when a guy threw it up for $80. I'm running one of the Voodoo Labs on one board and a pedal power pro on another. The fender is set up to mount their Engine room power supply, so? I need high current, as will likely run a couple Strymon units. What are you guys running?

For multiple higher power pedals on my larger board, I use MXR ISO-brick. For my mini-board I just use a 1-spot.

I have so few pedals on my worship board I use a 1-Spot. Truetone has some good isolated power supplies that would work for you.

I had constant noise problems with two little Voodoo Labs power supplies that the company wasn't interested in fixing. Switched to a trutone CS12, and it has been great - noiseless, plenty of power options (including a battery sag feature on one plug), lots of available current (3000 mA), and works perfectly every time.

One-spot on both my boards.

Thanks for that. I have a True Tone on my small board and really like it. It does seem to be a little quieter than my Voodoo labs. I have had one of the large Fender boards setting in the back room for almost 2 years now. It's still in the plastic and has never been used. I need to build a real board for my Church so will likely put it together this week.

I upgraded my Walrus Audio "Aetos" to this larger Harley Benton unit for my main board: https://www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_powerplant_iso12ac_pro_modular.htm

I also added one of these for a smaller daughter board: https://www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_2ac_pro_modular.htm

Really exceptional units for the price and shipping to U.S. was quite reasonable

Strymon Zuma. There's a couple of ports that allow you to choose between 9 12 and 18 volts. You can also expand it by adding the Ojai. It's a great power supply. Well built.

The larger Harley Benton unit I linked to above has 4 ports that are selectable between 9/12/18 volts and all are 500ma.

You could buy TWO for the price of a smaller Zuma!

I've watched tear-down videos of the HB stuff and read tons of reviews from users before pulling the trigger myself. They are well made units that punch way above their price point!

An completely other aspect: I am tinkering my own pedals and adjust some points to 1/10 of a volt.
In another forum one gup complained about his power supply delivering 10.3 volts on the 9 volt setting. So I broke my multimeter out: My two supplies give 8.7 and 8.9 volt.
Friday evening I went to friend and readjusted the pedal I sold him. His power supply gives 9.7v

+1 for the MXR Iso-Brick. I got one a few years ago and haven't even thought about getting a different one. It just works.

It also made my chain DEAD quiet, which was a happy side benefit that I wasn't quite expecting. You don't realize how noisy your gear is till you get an isolated power supply.

Honestly I've been using the same 1 Spot adapter since 2004. And i have a Hum X plug i plug it into.All my board is is, a modded Vox V847 run on battery. Into korg tuner, boss sd1 eh memory toy into mxr phase 90. If I run into noise problems in a club. I just unhook the other crap and run sd1 and tuner off 1 spot and the vox. If it's real bad I throw a 9v in the sd1 and just use that.
I'm not a big pedal guy so for the few songs each one gets used I really only depend on the sd1 and tuner
board itself is one a freind made for me outta pine with oak sides

I went to more sophisticated multi-effects instead of pricey power supplies for a lot of pedals. If it is just a few pedals, I use a 1 spot. I can do a gig with probably 3 pedals if I have to. But my use of multis is more about what can and will go wrong with the pedalboard at the gig (it is always at the gig). Many pedals with many patch cables and many low voltage cables is too much stuff that will break and that I have to maintain.

big board has an old voodoo lab pp2. last night i had five pedals, silver foxx->paraeq->timmy->vapor trail->shape shifter and a one spot worked just fine. i always keep a one spot and boss psa120s in my bag, i dont use any really high drain devices so those will cover my needs should the main supply crap out for whatever reason

 

[weepingminotaur]

Joyo JP-02. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

Truetone isolated supplies get my vote if digital pedals are involved otherwise 1spot does the trick just fine.
