Pedalboard power help.


Recommended Posts

Hi (yeah i'm new) I'd just like to know what the most efficent way of connecting power to each of my pedals. I dont like using individual adaptors, so i have a boss power chain thing. I have 2 line 6 modellers, a digitech whammy and 4 boss stomb boxes. I'm a bit of a noob with this, so i'd like to know what the best thing to get would be. I've seen those cool ACbox things where you can put all the power leads into them or something. It's a real headache connecting them with individual power supplies and I've blown my whammy adaptor a few times becuase ive been putting it in power boards and I cant work out a way to make it safe.. ugh. Also, i like it being nice and tidy without my stupid chords going everywhere:mad:

 

Sorry for being so vague but it's the best i can get my head around. Here are my pedals so far. (Getting a lot more this and next week, finally)

 

Boss MD-2 Mega Dist.

Boss MT-2 Metal Zone

Boss TR-2 Tremolo

Boss PH-2 Super Phaser

Line 6 DL-4 Delay Modeler

Line 6 DM-4 Distortion Modeler

Digitech Whammy 4 Reissue

I was hoping there'd be something out there which enabled you to put all your pedals into one single Unit.. which then goes to one powerplug which you can just plug in and thats it. I assume it's never that easy?

 

For most applications, a voodoo labs PP2 or a godlyke/onespot will do what you're saying. However, there are a handful of pedals that require unique voltages, or run off AC, which precludes an all-in-one solution. The whammy is going to be your Moriarty. Unless it runs on 9V (and I'm certain it doesn't), your best bet will be to get a PP2. You can run all the boss pedals and the 2 Line6 modelers off that, and then plug the Whammy adapter into the outlet on the back. That is what I have to do with both of my boards. Stupid Electro-Harmonix....the PolyChorus and Wiggler are always causing me power problems.
