Members niemasensu Posted March 12, 2018 Members Share Posted March 12, 2018 Looking for some advice/recommendations on a new isolated power supply for my pedal board. I'm looking at Walrus Audio Phoenix, MXR CAE MC403, and possibly, Voodoo Lab Mondo, or a couple of MXR Iso Brick. Heres a list of what's on my board: (picture attached) Ernie Ball Vol jr Dunlop CAE Wah Boss BF2 Blackout Effectors Musket Fuzz JHS Morning Glory Walrus Audio Mayflower TC Electronic Viscous Vibe MXR Phase 95 Boss TU2 MXR Classic Fuzz MXR Micro Amp Boss DM2 Malekko Ekko 616 Boss DD3 Boss RV3 Stone Deaf Tremotron EHX Small Clone Line6 M9 (powered with its wallwart) Thanks in advance for the help!!

Phil O'Keefe Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 What are you using to power everything now, and what issues (if any) are you having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dweebking Posted March 13, 2018 Members Share Posted March 13, 2018 looks like a couple poweralls etc. your problem isn't power draw but number of pedals/connections. the Walrus Phoenix is the only one with enough taps and looks good for your current pedal line up. it has 12v & 18v taps if you need them in the future, but none of its taps are rated higher than 300ma which could be a problem if you add a big box digital in the future. MXR CAE MC403 has 16 outs, but 4 are 18v, and 2 9vAC, you'll be short a few taps unless you daisy chain somewhere. it has 18v, 2 adjustable, & 9vAC, but it's also limited to 2 200ma taps. Voodoo Lab Mondo isn't in the same league as the others. it's even shorter on taps, and total current supply. you don't need it atm, but it has no 18v and none of the taps is rated higher than 400ma. I'd go with the Phoenix, and you might be able to use a current doubler if you get a big box. otoh, a strymon zuma has 9 500ma taps, so you'll need an Ojai extender or daisy a few, but it'll handle the big box digitals. you might look into the gigrig power distribution system too, but thats 'more assembly' required ps. that's if your still going to use your wallwart for the M9. otherwise, the CAE is the only one that'll handle the M9.

Members niemasensu Posted March 15, 2018 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2018 Just using godlyke poweralls right now. Dweebking- thanks!!! I was leaning towards the walrus...Didn't even know about the overkill!! Looked into the gigrig system before... I was unsure if it really made as much sense and was truly low-noise. Really appreciate all the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
