Enquires about effects power supplies

[holyking]

Can somebody give me song suggestion on which effect power supply is good? I have 6 9v effects to be powered.

There are better ones from brands such as T-rex and Voodoo labs but for me now I'm using a cheaper alternative, the Belcat Power Station ($69).

Can power up to 8 9v + 2 selectable 6/9/12v outputs. Non isolated but I've got no problems with humming. I use it to power 5 pedals on my pedal board and everything works just fine.

1spot

I'm using a 1spot to power up 7 pedals. Some people have posted regarding some issues about a humming sound when used to power too many pedals - of which I have yet to experience.

Bang for the buck too!

I've been using the same VS 1-spot for almost 3 years now. No problems, worth checking out.

I've recently run into a little problem with pedal power supplies as well, hope that someone can chime in here.

Is there any pedal power supply that can do 9V DC as well as a 9V AC?

Reason I need this is because I'm running a Digitech EX-7 (9V AC). It would be cool if it had 12-18V DC as well.

Am I asking for too much?

Where can I find Belcat Power Station? Is it quite good & cheap power supply? I have been looking at DC brick. What do u suggest?

And what is VS 1 spot?

VS 1 spot is a power adapter. It can be used with a daisy chain (preferably a VS 1 spot daisy chain) to power 5 or 8 pedals at a time. It is spotted at Blackwood.

I use it too, powering my wah, overdrive and synthesizer. Not too bad

Can get the Belcat from Zen Guitarwerkz.

zenworks.. from what i heard, the dc brick is the same as a 1-spot, read somewhere that its a 'glorified' 1 spot..

well the belcat PS works for me just fine..

I know Joe Satriani is using D.C brick. Hmm.. How much does Belcat cost? I have never heard of Belcat before...
