What power supply for me?

[buzzp]

I have a tuner, moog mf-drive, keeley magnetic echo, zvex wooly mammoth, and I'm getting a Strymon Deco as well as another delay pedal. What should I get? Might add a compressor to the mix at some point

Can you help us help you by listing the power voltage and current draw for each pedal?

 

[sleewell]

just get a voodoo labs pedal power II+. it will work great for what you have now and will provide room if and when you get more pedals.

Another recommendation would be the Truetone 1 Spot CS-7 or CS-12... Great power supplys!

 

[istantodf]

T rex make some good reliable ones as well

Sorry, all of them are pretty standard 9v pedals except for the strymon. That's why I was asking. I'll check out the truetones... I've had a pedal power 2+ in the past and it was fine, just wanted to look at something different.

Strymon Zuma

Cioks DC-10, Eventide PF2 or Strymon Zuma.

Stay away from the PP2+...

Why's that? I recall that being the standard for some time. Been thinking about getting one recently myself

That's the first I've read about anything bad with the PP2+. I've used one on stage for the past ~10 years. Please elaborate.

Stay away from the PP2+...

Why? Because it's not "boutique" enough?

+2. Great products.

If you go Voodoo, definitely get the 4X4 to allow for expansion and higher current pedals.

I'm probably going to get the cioks dc10, strymon is another 40-50 bucks, don't really care to spend that much on a power supply.

Budget option: I've had the Vitoos DC-8 for about 6 months, and have not experienced any issues. I'm powering some power-hungry digital pedals with it. Mid-price: The MXR Iso-brick, I like the configuration of outputs.

Keep in mind that the Deco requires minimum 250 mA, and is probably best powered from an isolated output.

+1 for the Truetone CS-7 or CS-12.

I wouldn't choose a PP2+ because the high-current outputs are max 250 mA which could be limiting down the road, but I'm curious about the advice to "stay away".

A PP2+ will work.

That's one of the reasons and the other one is that everyone seems to think it'll power Strymon and Eventide boxes but it's not a sure thing (go read the multitude of threads about people complaining that it can't power a timeline, timefactor, etc.)

Boutiqueness was one of my criteria but, aesthetics was my main gripe with the PP2+. It looks clunky and cheap.
