markl Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I was wondering if anyone of you kind people can help me? I did post this right at the end of another thread on power supplies, but it got buried so I thought I would start a (very specific) topic so please feel free to merge if needs be. I'm putting together a pedal board and not sure what power supply I can use, I have DHA VT2 fat guts bass, EHX Polychorus and a EHX echo#1 and Boss OC3 and it would be great to run my pod too (old school bass pod bean shaped). Now from what I can work out in my rubbish way I can't seem to find a power supply that will do them all.... Perhaps I should have been cleverer in my pedal choices but didn't really consider pedalboards as I picked them up; or I might be missing something obvious. So I throw myself open to your suggestions. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey1-8 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Again, I will recomend the [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/pedal-power/pedal-power/overview.html"]Diago[/url] (like many other, I'm very satisfied with it). Check out their [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/powerstation_compatibility.html"]compatability table here[/url] to see what all their different adaptors will and won't power. An expensive option I know but I'm glad I went for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, don't mean to hijack your thread, markl. It just might be we are in the same boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thanks, but I don't think it's the answer, unless as I say, I'm missing something. It's really frustrating each time I think I've found one it turns out it won't do one or other of the pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lateralus462 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) check out www.johnnyshredfreak.com - decent power supplies at a fraction of the cost of the diago. Edited September 21, 2009 by lateralus462 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have a couple of 9v pedals plus a Line6 tremelo pedal, so I'd quite like to feed 'em all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
