Who wears the trousers in your relationship with pedals - you or your power supply?

[stargazer747]

I prefer a small simple single row flat lightweight pedalboard made up of the classic brands; Boss, MXR, Electro-Harmonix, & Ibanez (I have a Cry Baby Wah too but it stays off board) neatly wired & properly oriented. No loop switchers, no junction boxes, no ISO power bricks. Just my 5x "bare essentials;" Overdrive, Phaser, Chorus, Flanger, & Delay. Connected thru a 5x daisy chain and powered with a Livewire brand 9V 1700mA wall adapter ($20 at GC). The pedals I picked for both my similarly laid out boards work without any unwanted noises.

I guess its the power that pivots my choices of FX pedals and the classic brands I chose works out perfectly.

Power supply is little more than the kid with the headset that hands me my Whopper & fries through the window as I drive through. And like that kid, it goes under the board and out of site when it has done what it needs to do.

So your power supply gives your compromised, dirty power?

What is the fast food of power supplies?

Do you buy prepared food that is compromised and dirty? Neither do I.
Neither is my power supply.

I recently upgraded my power supply to a Cioks DC-10 Link because I needed a 24-volt outlet for my DMM XO. I have a couple of other higher-power digital pedals on my board as well, but the Cioks handles everything like a champ.

I have a Cioks Adam on my mini pedalboard, as well as a DC-5 for my recording board, and they're all terrific. Cioks makes great stuff. In addition, they're incredibly responsive and helpful if you ever need support.

I make sure that all the taps on my power supply are being used, so that it fulfills its life purpose.

You gotta show your power supply who's boss. Kick it in the Cioks if it gets out of line.
