Members BigED Posted October 9, 2010 Members Share Posted October 9, 2010 I have a Pedal Power 2 Plus, which powers 8 pedals, but I have 10. I'm not going to buy a second PP for 2 pedals, so what is my best option as far as maximizing sound quality and minimizing hum? Is it better to daisy chain a few pedals off of one of the PP outputs? Or is it better to just power the 2 extra pedals off of traditional wall warts? (I have a few.) I'm trying to figure out if the PP is good simply because it is supplying isolated power, or is it supplying cleaner power than a traditional wall wart. If isolation is the main benefit, maybe I'm better off putting the extra pedals on wall warts to keep every single pedal isolated. If cleaner power is the benefit, maybe daisy chaining a few pedals (not the power hungry ones obviously) off of one of the 9V outputs of the PP would be better instead of introducing any wall warts back in. If I go with the wall wart option, is it better to power them off of the 120V pass through on the PP? i.e. is the PP doing any kind of powering filtering on the passthrough, or is it equivalent to just plugging them directly into the wall?

Members conky Posted October 9, 2010 Members Share Posted October 9, 2010 Daisy chain will work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mind_Riot89 Posted October 9, 2010 Members Share Posted October 9, 2010 Yeah, I daisy chain 5 pedals from one PP2 output with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shredder1 Posted October 9, 2010 Members Share Posted October 9, 2010 daisy chains will work of course, but you arte far better having each pedal isolated, I have two PP2s powering 16 pedals on my board, works fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ben_allison Posted October 9, 2010 Members Share Posted October 9, 2010 OD's and distortions take, on average, 10ma each. Each output on the PP2 is what, 100? 250? Daisy chain to your heart's content! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
