rushers Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 So obviously there are many options to powering pedals, I tried daisy chaining and it's just a massive hassle and I still get buzz, mainly thanks to my power guzzling freeze pedal. I was wondering if those with the likes of vodoo power, DC powerbrick and T-Rex power supplies would say that they are worth spending the money on? - do you still get buzz, even with over £100 of power supply?

LiamPodmore Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Many people use Voodoo Labs stuff as it fits well on to a Pedaltrain board, though some (Particularly Shep) rate the GigRig system highly as well, it's expensive but does look to be the best on the market. The T-Rex stuff, except the Fuel Tank Junior, isn't Isolated as far as i know so is effectively just a much higher power Daisy Chain.

simwells Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 The Freeze isn't especially power hungry but it is known for being awkward to daisy chain and likes to be isolated. So either a power supply with isolated outputs or the gigrig virtual battery would cover that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I ran my freeze out of the '9V outlet' on my Boss TU3 - silent. Everything else was daisy-chained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Are you sure the T-Rex stuff isn't isolated? According to [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/power-supplies/pid14724/cid591/t-rex-fuel-tank-junior-5-way-pedal-power-supply.asp"]this[/url] it is?

AndThenSome1 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've been looking at these recently too - I've got A pedal train board and would like to mount a supply, but is the Voodoo Labs the only one that will or could I look at the T-Rex, etc?

[/quote] The Fuel Tank Jnr. is isolated but its big brother is not. I use Thomann's copy of the jnr and it is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxxwj Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The diago powerstation works pretty well in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
