Power supply for guitar stomp box board.

[mikepukmel]

Hi All,
I have a few stomp boxes for my guitar that Id like to build a power supply for. Smallbear electronics sells this transformer: http://www.smallbear-electronics.myb...-pedal-boards/ that has a bunch of 11v secondaries on one transformer.

I was thinking to get a big box, mount the regulators on the case somehow, then wire up each one individually. Is this how those big multi 9v output stomp box power supplies are usually setup?



Thanks,
Mike

If you have pedals that are DC fed, but some are reverse polarity from others, this may be a way to save some $$ compared to buying a Voodoo power brick or similar. If your pedals are all negative ground, and sourced from DC connectors that have - on the inside receptacle, + on the outside barrel, then try a Godlyke Power-all supply to run the lot, cheap @ $20 for a well filtered 2000 mA 9V supply. You'll need an "octopus" cord to get to all the pedals too, but if it works, save a lotta bucks and hassle. Heck you could buy a spare supply & octopus and still be ahead of the game.

Last week a customer came in with a couple pedals that hummed something awful with the factory supplied wall wart. We tried the Power-All, quiet as could be! Heckuva deal.

A 1-Spot is relatively cheap and will power quite a few pedals.

How many ya got?

It would save all the rigamarole of building that supply, unless you like doing stuff like that.

For me, building power supply's is... meh.

I'd rather tinker with tone stack circuits and such, than build a supply.

Edit; I see the Godlyke is similar to the 1-Spot.

Cool, thanks Leo, and thanks for the link. 2A filtered for 20 bucks, good deal. I think I could power all my pedals only have a few.

Yes, so far 2 pedals, a few more builds on the horizon, all are 9v + ps, I think.

Yeah, its not a fun project like, tube amps or other stuff, but ... would like to know more 'stuff'. And the more wiring and soldering experience I get, the closer I get to that magic lead blood count! Heh.

Ah gotcha,

I built my share of P/S early on.
It is a good learnin' experience. esp for the lead blood count.
