BIG MULTIPLE POWER SUPPLIES?

JohnPerry

Can anyone recommend a really good power supply for lots and lots and lots of pedals of differing sorts . . . analog, digital, 9v DC, 12v DC, 12v AC even (only one of those). I cannot emphasise enough the word lots. 

Currently running off two Diago Powerstations and various other PSUs, from about 12 mains sockets. Want to consolidate the lot and cut down on the noise. Cost not a problem within reason

This one seems to be the ultimate but you will pay:

This one would cover most things at a lot less cost:

You could probably Daisy chain some stuff together (e.g. analogue drive pedals) on one output if you need more than 10 pedals powered.

The Cioks ones look good: http://cioks.com/index.php.

On the 12v AC thing, I have that issue too :-) I'd love to be able to power my EHZ English Muff'n from a multiple power supply, but according to EHZ (http://www.ehx.com/products/english-muff-n) it needs a 1 amp rating, which none of the multiple supplies seem to go up too. So I have to use the clunky EHZ adapter, which is a bit of a pain. 

(Amp/FX gurus: do you think that an English Mufn *really* needs 1 amp at 12VAC?? (it uses 2 x ECC83s) - do you think it would be safe to run it with, say, a 500mA supply??)

the cioks ac10 will give you the 12vac plus a bunch of dc and various converter cables.
the ciokolate will cover eveything but is maybe a big too huge and heavy

JohnPerry

I've got a Hot Stone Deluxe. Pretty sweet.

Stick your 9v drives in a daisy chain .
How much power does your 12v ac pedal need?

JohnPerry

1000ma

Sounds like a v-twin. Chamelean won't work the . I have the same problem.

How much???  Not cheap is an understatement.

I lhad ooked at using a Gigrig PSU to do my board and it came to £523 (and still wouldn't run my Kingsley). The Mark L stuff looks bulletproof, and @JohnPerry said cost's not a problem, within reason… guess we'll find out shortly where 'reason' is ;-)

JohnPerry

Holy moly. "Reason" is about half way to that, i think. Thanks for the suggestion though.

@JohnPerry - I did wonder :-)

The Cioks Ciokolate is likely the one then. I'm going to use a Voodoo Lab PP2+ and a Cioks Eventide supply most likely. About £360 all in.
