Power supply- option on a pedal board

[fumps]

Right guys without going into too many boring details I will keep it brief:

I'm building a pedal board with a difference & I am planning to enclose all the power leads & patch cables so there will be no mess on show. the board will then pack away with only the cable to Bass, one to the mains & the amp having to be unplugged.

So in my quest to keep it simple I'm looking at power options: here is my questions

If I have several normal effects pedals that are say 9v 100mA (say three of these) and one multi effects pedal that is 9v 500mA is there a power supply unit that can run all these from one unit ?
or is this just me being stupid ?
If so is it going to be silly money ?

If there is no way a power unit would do it as a second option I was looking at running the 9v 100mA pedals with a daisy chain connector (like [url="#"]this one) [/url] so I could run them from one plug socket but are unsure if these are any good. Has anyone tried these ?

Because I'm enclosing all the cables I am trying to cut down the amount of mains plugs for space saving if this makes any sense ?

The one I use is called a Diago Micropower. It's 9v and (I think) 1000mA so it would power your pedals no problem.

It just has one plug and you use a daisy chain connector to the others.

These particular ones are generally about £40 for both the power unit and daisy chain adaptor.

I'm sure you could find cheaper options as well but I've found this one to be the best value.

Cheers Paul this is exactly what I was hoping to find. this will save lots of space ....whoo hoo !

There are various units around that might cope, but Paul's suggested unit has a good rep and is probably going to be the most cost effective.

To go further from the Microstation; The powerstation is 3000mA - so you'd have more headroom available.
Little bit more pricey - but gives you more headroom and room to expand if you choose.

Cheers guys this is perfect for what I need

Pedaltrain are meant to be coming out with a rechargeable power supply called 'Volto'. It's meant for the smaller Pedaltrains like the Nano and Mini. Hopefully see a release date for it at NAMM that's currently going on.

I use the powerstation. great bit of kit, powers loads of stuff with no issues.
I only have the one power lead leaving the board and a single lead going from the board to amp, as I now use a wireless system which the diago powers fine.

Another BIG +1 for the Diago Powerstation.... Great bit of kit and the compatability chart on their website is really useful!!
