1 spot overload?

[dookiedookdook]

hey guys. im thinking of powering up 9 pedals through 1 single 1spot and 2 mc-5 daisy chains. im thinking itll be alot lighter/convenient for me to power it anywhere and of cos, more cost-effective

so powering 9 pedals through a single 1spot, will there be any overload and will this damage my adapter or any of my pedals?

Add up the current requirements of all your pedals. If its below the rated current output of the 1 spot, you're fine.

didnt overload for me,
if im not wrong, the dist drains the most power and the mods and stuff dont really use much, so if ur just using 1 or 2 distortion pedals together with a few mod pedals, it wont really affect much..
unless ur like powering 10 distortion pedals at one time, then that one killer

wrong. mod pedals drain more power than dist pedals do.

Check this site out...useful for finding out info on how much current most pedals draw and such.

A general rule of the thumb is distortion and overdrive pedals draw the least power, followed by delays, modulations and stuff, esp when you got digital delays and DSP effects- real power guzzlers.
