A couple general questions regarding powering pedals. (I'm using Cioks/Eventide Powerfactor, for reference.)
1. Is the courtesy outlet typically isolated from everything else?
2. How about your regular 3-prong outlet power strips? If I had say, a big-box DMM and an Electric Mistress, both with 3-prong cords, and a Moog M-104 with a wall-wart and I plugged them all into a standard power strip, would they be isolated from each other for noise purposes? If not, are there some power strips which remedy this? Could I plug such a strip into my courtesy outlet to power pedals such as these?
I feel like I've come to a good understanding of how the isolated pedal power supplies work with their various outlets and specs, but I don't understand this part yet. (Also I don't understand AC power so maybe that's the root of the problem here.)
