Hi all,
Since selling my Noble, which powered the other 6 pedals on my main board….I’m left requiring a power solution.
Here’s the board as it stands, including the space left by the Noble:
I’m going to fill some of the space with a Barber Linden EQ, and, if I can swing it, my Schu-Tone FJBOD, something along the lines of this:
Which leaves me a rather specific area to squeeze some power in.
I have some Cioks power systems being used on other boards, but here, I do have a spare Diago PS01, 3amps of power, typically into a daisy-chain.
However, while the Noble power sockets weren’t isolated, I’d like to try and create an isolated setup here.
My initial idea was to just velcro two Gigrig Isolators on top of the PS01 and connect them via a power splitter (because the PS01 only has 1 output), so something like….
(black block under the 1st isolator being a placeholder for the PS01).
However, turns out that the Isolators need fairly specific and clean powering, either from a Gigrig Distributor (no space, overkill for my use here), or a parallel 9v splitter cable. The latter unfortunately doesn’t seem to exist with the correct connections (female in and two male outs) off-the-shelf.
The other option, which is way less elegant, is to get something like a Cioks DC7, and place pedals on top of it, such as:
But this setup doesn’t fill me with too much joy if I’m honest.
3rd option is to try and squeeze in an MXR Brick:
This is a fairly smart solution, although the thought of using a wall-wart, probably one with quite a short cable (at a guess), really grates with me.
So, thoughts? Opinions?
- Can I get a parallel 9v splitter cable made for me? Who’s best to do that (and it be proper/solid).
- Would I likely hear any additional noise place pedals on top of a power supply if I went that route?
- Anyone using the MXR Brick? Any good, is the wallwart and cable length manageable?
Additional info:
- The board has to be this size to fit in my flight case, where it lives.
- I can’t afford anymore height, for the above reason, otherwise I’d be getting a Goodwood Audio Lift and solve all my issues immediately haha.
Cheers
