blind pilot Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 right - I now have five pedals on my board, each with their own supplies, varying from 2.2mA up to 200mA, I have a power supply rated to 2 amps, my question is thus - can i just daisy chain from this ( in parallel) to power all my pedals? will i get issues with ground loop hum etc? Just sick of having so many wall warts! thanks y'all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 2A is a lot and you should easily be able to daisy-chain 5 pedals with that much power. You shouldn't get any mains hum but if you do then devices such as a 'virtual battery' isolate the power for that particular problem pedal and eliminate the hum.

topo morto Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I reckon daisy chaining from a nice, noise free PSU sounds better than using separate ones. Obviously do check that they're all the same voltage and polarity though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a premade 5 way daisy chain lead off the internet for £4 a few days back and then spent another £2 on odd connectors to make little adaptors that fit pedals that don't use a 2.1mm Neg tip input - works just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Maplins do the pre-made daisy-chain jobbies, can't remember how much it was but definitely less than a tenner. Worth buying one to experiment with. Even if it turns out that it doesn't do quite what you wanted, it's the sort of thing that still deserves a place in your gig-bag if only for that magic day when you use it to totally rescue your lead guitarist, dude.

blind pilot Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Cheers guys, I just made up a nice 5 way loom, to fit around my board layout, and you know what, I am sure it's a little quieter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
