Multi power supplies.

[TGEvans]

I have been using a multi pedal power supply from maplins for the last 6 years or so. Cost me about 20 quid. Is there any difference between one of these and say the mxr or voodoo labs units? apart from about 100 quid difference?tim

the maplin units share common ground and voltage rails, basically a daisy chain in a box -- in most of the more expensive units, the individual outputs are independently regulated and isolated from one another.

I used a Godlyke Power-All daisychain until recently which is a budget jobby probably on par with the Maplin one. I've never had much faith in the daisy chain system because they seem to add noise/a tone to the signal chain, so I got rid and bought a T-Rex fuel tank instead. Never looked back - much more robust, no noise, superb quality. I cannot recommend T-rex gear highly enough, built like brick sh*thouses and the best repair service I've ever gotten.
