Running a wireless system and pedals from one power supply.

nick79

Up to now i've been using a cheap Caline power supply to run my pedals, but just lately i've been having problems with unwanted noise and i also think it's about to die on me.... So i'm looking at getting a decent isolated power brick, probably a Voodoo lab.
My question is...... I also use a wireless system, obviously providing i choose a power supply that has the relevant output (12v, 500ma) can i realistically expect to power my pedals and the the wireless unit without any interference/unwanted noise? 

I notice that the higher end supplies all say you can run analogue and digital pedals fine but is that always the case? If so it will be great because then i will just have one mains plug to power my board and less wires/faffing about. 
Thanks

Shouldn’t be a problem if you have isolated outputs and enough current.  
Needing a 12v output limits the choice a little so I’d double check you can’t get away with 9v as that might allow a cheaper supply.

I used to run wireless system and around 8 pedals from a daisy-chained one spot and had no issues whatsoever, so you should be fine if using an isolated PSU

Cheers guys. Yes it's definitely 12v i need for the wireless system, shame really as it's limiting me to very expensive psu's like the Voodoo Lab 4x4..... Might just try and find a standalone 12v adapter to power it (if i can find a 12v regulated with centre positive...)

Right now I'm powering all this with a 1Spot with zero problems!
(Notice the Line6 G30 wireless receiver under the board)

I powered my Shure wireless glx16 system powered by the voodoolab 4x4 and the pedals with no problem at all

Like this, you mean?

Decibel 11 Hot Stone Deluxe has some outputs that can be 9 or 12V.  Might be limited to 300mA at 12V though.  Do you know the actual current draw of your wireless unit.  Just because it has a 500mA supply doesn't mean it actually uses 500mA.
