What power supply to get?

Recommended Posts

I am looking to buy some kind of brick to power all (or as many as possible) of my pedals, preferably all isolated. This seams like it would be an easy task if I hadnt decided early on that I wanted all my time based effects to be synced via midi (and therefore digital and current hungry). I think at the moment I can see a couple of systems that will be able to power most of my board (I say board, but I havent gotten round to ordering some gorm shelves yet...) but even then ill have to have some wallworts, and there doesnt seam to be much room for expansion, and I have some plans (okay, you got me, its GAS).
I think it will help if I list the pedals I have / want, so here they are:
I have:
Boss RC-50 loop station. 9vdc c(center)-ve, 500mA
TC polytune1. 9vdc, c-ve, 45ma.
A cheap horrible analogue dist, 9vdc, c-ve, 100~ma
Zoom ms60b, 9vdc, c-ve 500ma (currently powered via usb)
Ehx voicebox, 9vdc, c-ve, 150ma
Ehx flanger hoax, 18vdc, c-ve?, 500ma. (Not using atm, as looking for to get it modded with a digital lfo+midi)
Eventide timefactor, 9?vdc, c+ve, 1200ma(internet say maybe 600?)
Korg electribe ESX, 9?vac, 5?w (not sure, I'm on a train at the moment, I know its ac)
Markbass compressore, 12vdc, c-ve, 600~ma

What I'm GASing for:
Iron ether frantabit (I've got the cash sat waiting but hes not taking orders at the moment =[)
Midi foot controller for ESX
A chorus with midi sync
Valve boost to replace compressores makeup gain for double valveya walmness
Synth pedal with -1 oct sine+triangle & -2 sine
Some expression pedals

Problems I'm having at the moment with looking for a supply are:
Non isolated outputs
Not enough/lack of high current outputs
Compressore being 12v and 600ma (so gigrig adapter doesn't work)
Combination of different voltages
The ESX being AC

I'm looking at the gigrig system (no compatibility for compressore and esx) and the fuel tank goliath (no room for expansion)

Anyone have any idea/advice?
And thanks in advance,
Elephantgrey.

Getting something perfect off the shelf will be tricky - I'm sure some of the guys will be able to help with the more boutique supplies.

Good place to start are the Voodoo Labs supplies. You'd have to check on your requirements but check out the:

Pedal Power 2
Pedal Power AC
4x4
Mondo

None of the voodoo lab pedals have high enough current for a few of my pedals i'm afraid. seems most power supply manufacturers presume that people only have one or two digital pedals, and not as power hungry ones as i have.
Thanks for the recommendation anyway.
