Evening Gents.

Looking at a power supply for the following pedals.

Pedal AC/DC Voltage MA
Korg Pitch Black DC 9 35
Mooer Bass sweeper DC 9 7
Digitech Bass Whammy Reissue DC 9 265 (Probably a minimum)
Idiotbox Bass Blower DC 9 10
Tech 21 VT Bass Deluxe DC 9 100
Boss BF2 DC 9 18
Boss CE5 DC 9 22
Joyo Digital Delay DC 9 34
Budda Chakra DC 9 12

Total MA is 503.

I am having a hard time finding a power supply to power all these pedals at once. I was looking at the Harley Benton one which can supply 8x9V at 500 MA and 1x12V at 500MA. But none of my pedals are 12Volt. Will I be able to power any of these pedals safely with 12Volts?

Otherwise, What other power supplies out there can supply the juice I need for 9 9V pedals.

Cheers!

Strangely the Jr version of that supply is isolated, but that one isnt (isolated outputs help reduce noise).
looks like the cheapest option thats isolated is [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/artec_cpb12_power_brick.htm"]this[/url] one, but not much room for expansion.
The [url="http://www.thegigrig.com/acatalog/Power.html"]gigrig power system[/url] is the best power supply. Its the one i use. It has 5A(5000mA), and can power most pedals with adapters.
If you dont care that much about isolated outputs, then the [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/visual_sound_vs_1_spot_combo_pack.htm"]one-spot[/url] will do.

This source (it's pretty good) says that one's not isolated, just regulated...

^Shockwave, have you checked that site for ideas?

I have a Johnny Shredfreak that was mighty fine...a quick Google has not come up with a place that sells them, though. I recall it having enormous MA output that was enough to power my whole pedalboard and then some. I bought it a good few years ago (2009? 2010? earlier, even?) and it is still going strong.

Gigrig Power Generator, distributor and isolator.

The whammy needs a load of current compared to the rest.

Expensive but awesome.

I have a big board with about 15 pedals, some with big current needs, including a whammy, and it's never missed a beat.
