Power supply options for FX

lento

Just trying to find a way of powering some 12v 500ma FX rather than using their separate adaptors. Had a look at the Fuel Tank options and found I'd have to spend over £200 on a pair of them !!

There surely must be another way .......

I have an IEC power conditioner that feeds my other units and ideally need something that could be plumbed into that.

There's a useful power supply comparison list here. Hopefully you'll find something that'll do the job.

My advise is to spend as much as possible on a dedicated (eg Cioks, Voodoo Lab) power supply...

It ensures safe and silent use for years !

My decibel 11 hot stone deluxe has a couple of 12v outs

What pedals are they ? They may not necessarilly take 500mA.

Agreed.  I've been running a Line 6 M5 off a 400mA output on my Hot Stone Deluxe with no problems, and that is officially 500mA. 

I've been looking at the Zoom MS70CDR and the nominal 500mA was putting me off, but it actually draws a lot less than that - possibly in the 150mA region from what I can find on the web.

Thanks for that exhaustive list 

But, unfortunately only 2 or 3 would do the job, because it's 12v AC that I need - and I'd need 2 of them as well.

They are Rockman rack units. I haven't tried a lower mA as I don't have one, but have read that it's always better to overspecify them rather than under. In fact, the adaptors are rated at 750mA

However, I'm thinking it may make more sense to convert them using small 240v transformers. That way I can get them IEC powered and not lose rack space etc.

The Cioks AC 8 or 10 should do the job.

I need one for my Tube Factor-based set up, but even thinking of parting with the cash for a glorified plug is disturbing.

GigRig generator. Everything up to 24v. and 5000mA (total) Never going to run out of amps, never going to run out of sockets. Very versatile. Wont do Ac though.
