Pedal board Power supplies

Hi guys,
Now that I've sorted out how I'm gonna run my effects loop, I'm wondering about power supply units.
Is there one power supply I can use that will power my Boss Tu-2 tuner, Fender Sublime bass fuzz, Tech21 VT Bass Deluxe (all 9v, though VT Bass Deluxe manual says 100mA minimum) and my Markbass Super Synth which i think is 12v?

For example, would [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARTEC-CPB-12-GUITAR-PEDAL-MULTI-POWER-SUPPLY-9V-/360351014570?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item53e6981eaa"]this[/url] be suitable, considering I'm on a budget at the mo

Not sure about mA, voltages etc etc

Any help appreciated. If anyone has one that'll do the job they want to sell me, I'd be happy to chat
Cheers,
Col

Good luck finding a power supply that puts out both 9V and 12V at a high enough rating - I have a Super Synth and I run that off it's own 12V supply, and power the rest with one 9V. The Super Synth requires 450mA IIRC which is a hell of a lot from a single power supply output.

For everything else 9V, there's this:

+1. you can put as much current (mA) through a pedal as you like - the stuff that isn't used gets sent back out to the mains. What you can't do is to exceed the voltage rating.

I'm in a similar predicament myself - loads of 9v stuff, a 12 V 1.5A valve overdrive unit and an old 24v EHX bass microsynth. 3 plug for the board, and one each for the pre and power amps. 5 plugs for a bass rig? sounds good though.

I power my supersynth, 5 pedals requiring isolated supples, one 18v and lots of reverse polarity all off a GigRig generator. It's a damn powerful beast! Some adapters to up power consumption are expensive but the system is great. I did have a small problem with my Super Synth, due to the draw, but Dan at GigRig, modded an adapter for me free of charge to get the pedal working fine.

As I'm selling my SuperSynth, if you dingo down that route, I'll sell you my adapter for the MB.
