    Pedal power supplies?

    The Zoom B3 is really really fussy about having an isolated power supply. I used a Vitoos ISO-8 with mine - sadly no longer available. However, the B3 isn't a massive current draw, unlike something like an HX Stomp.

     

    Some power supply blocks use wall warts, some are mains powered. There are pros and cons to each - the mains powered ones mean you're running a mains lead to the pedalboard, the wall wart ones mean you can use a DC extension lead cable-tied along its length to the jack-jack lead running from the amp to the pedalboard, but wall warts do need care taken with the leads - never wrap a lead around a wall wart, always coil it separately and velcro tie it so it doesn't get stressed where it joins the wall wart body.

     

    Vitoos ISO 8 is a cracking little unit. Been using one for a few years now and no problems. Fits really well under a pedal board too being as it's so slim. As you say, shame they're no longer made,

    What other instruments do you have in the band , what sort of music do you play, what sort of gigs do you do? Also what sort of budget do you have? These things will help people to give you objective advice.

    I use an Ampeg Scrambler and a recently acquired EHX Battalion (both standard pedal size). The Scrambler gives a nice bit of low gain breakup (but will do much more) and the Battalion gives a much more aggressive drive. Gigged it for the first time last night and got lots of positive feedback.
