Input on powering a new board

[noredr2]

So I'm getting a new board set up...took the plunge to modeling, but there's a few pedals I'm keeping around. The board will include an HD500, Tim, Turbo Tuner, and eventually a fuzz pedal (silicone) that I have the parts for.

The HD500 needs its own supply. I like running the Tim @ 18V. The fuzz will be center negative. I'm thinking I'll have the tuner and fuzz @ 9V, and the best conclusions I'm coming to either involve multiple wall warts with a small power strip on the board or building a custom power supply. Any thoughts from you all?

The simple solution is a VL PP2+. Your board is minimal but requires an AC outlet because of the L6 HD500. The HD500 can be plugged into the accessory outlet of the PP2+, the Tim at 18V you will need 2 taps and a "Y" adapter to achieve 18V. The rest of the pedals can be powered on their own taps. The PP2+ sells for $169.

If the PP2+ is too much in cost, there is the VL ISO-5 for $109. If you choose the ISO-5 for your powering needs, you will need a power strip or an extension cord to power the HD500 and its wallwart. If you choose this method, I would suggest getting a power strip to power the HD500 and also plug in the ISO-5 into the power strip. This way, you could use the power switch on the strip to power down your entire board while keeping everything plugged in.

+1 this will be the easiest and more importantly the quietest solution b/c each of the PP outlets is isolated from the others. This is also what would allow you to run a reverse polarity cable from one of the outlets. I've been using two of the original PP1 power supplies for years and years without a single problem, great product.

Anything voodoo lab would be overkill....I actually just sold an ISO-5. And I don't need anything reverse polarity. anybody know any good stand-alone wall warts that do 18V?

Overkill? You are the one who posted this thread. You're asking for advise, and the you got some replies. Good luck having a custom power supply built in a reasonable pricepoint. The suggestions given are far less than what your intentions are if you go the custom route.
