[alnino]

Hi guys, juz wanna get expertise advise from u guys. I wanna get a main power supply for my effect pedals. Which 1 do u guys recommend and what are the tings i got to look out for? Thanks in advance...

Check that there are sufficient and suitable outputs for all your pedals. If your pedals are all 9VDC I recommend getting the Visual Sound 1Spot, or if you're willing to spend, the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+ is highly recommended as well, although it costs a lot more.

oh okies thanks bro,k den 9V is 1 thing den how about those mA also stated at the pedals, do i have to worry about it 2 to find the right supply??

nah. thats just the power consumption

onespot has a total of 1700ma to spare for your entire chain

If you go the 1Spot route, be aware that some pedals may not co-exist happily on the same 1Spot daisy chain i.e. there will be some noise. You will need to put one or more pedal on a different chain. Else if you can afford it, go and get PedalPower, Fuel Tank, or PowerPad (note they are more expensive).

Do a search in soft - pedal power. Lots of info you can use.

u can try the biyang adaptor from standard value. comes with its own daisy chain but the ampere is less than onespot. its supposedly regulated too.

the 1spot will cost you about 50ish for the adaptor + a 8-plug daisy chain. pedal powers cost around 300 or more
