I'm rather new to pedalboard pleasure, but this is what I've accumulated within the last 6 months.
[attachment=66097:pedalboard.JPG]
Centre +ve 24v DC 30mA EHX Microsynth
Centre -ve 12v DC 500mA Markbass Compressore
Centre -ve 12v DC 600mA Markbass Distorsore
Centre -ve 09v DC 50mA Chunk Systems Agent Funk MKII (in the post)
Centre -ve 09v DC 200mA Boss OC-2
Centre -ve 09v DC 180mA Pog2
Centre -ve 09v DC 10mA EBS Micorbass II
Centre -ve 09v DC 015mA EBS Unichorus
Centre -ve 09v DC 600mA Korg Pitchblack (the manual says "at least 600mA", surely this can't be right).
I'm fed up with the adapters and cables, and the room they take up in the pedalboard.I can't seem to find power-brick type solution.
Would this work?
T-Rex Juicy Luicy; 5 x isolated 12v DC 300mA, Combine 2 of these for Markbass Distorsore (Juicy Lucy comes with 1 x current doubler cable).
Combine 2 more for the Markbass Compressore. (will have to orde another current doubler).

Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 Plus; 4 x 9/12v DC 100mA isolated, Combine 2 for EHX Microsynth (and use a polarity reversing plug for the centre +ve). The other 6 can be powered from the Voodoo.

WILL IT WORK ?

i use up to 9 x 9v pedals and my mb comp & 18v mxr blowtorch (special daisychain adaptor required) on two daisy chains. if i had more pedals i'd plug them in too !

they're tiny, but great units and there's no reason that you couldn't have more than one 12v pedal inline that i know of...

they have no 24v compatability, so the bms would need it's own supply, but still, a lot less bulk.

That's great to hear Philistein, I'm off to the shop to try it out. I'll let you know how it goes.

Don't buy the Diago one, buy this instead:

It's identical and a fraction of the price. I've compared both and they really are the same, they must both buy them from the same manufacturer.
I know the Diago one says it's 3A and the Johnny Shredfreak one says 1500ma but the manual for the Johnny Shredfreak one says it can go up to 3A.
I have two (total overkill) and they've been great.

nice one for the info. i'll probably get one as a back-up !

there probably should be a power supply thread pinned.
