pedal power supplies?!
i've got way too many pedals now to keep using batteries, any suggestions on a good power supply? i'm kinda leaning towards the t-rex fuel tank...

1spot...$35 = win
If you prefer isolated outputs I've always wanted a voodoo pp2, I've seen em on loads of boards. Just can't bring myself to spend $200 on a power supply when I could get a new pedal
It has (4) 9/12v, (2) high current (line6) 9v, (2) 9v with battery sag control for screwy dying battery sounds...can also get higher voltages if you combine them. It has pretty much everything you could need.
I've heard good things about t-rex as well, although only the fuel tank jr has isolated outputs. The regular fuel tank has shared grounds for the different voltages. pp2 is more versatile, but the fuel tank jr ain't bad either.

Yeah I have a one spot and it works fine. Most people complain about buzz but I've been fine. I'm in the same boat as staru, I can't spend that much on a power supply. But if you can, go for it.

Re: pedal power supplies?!
I use 1-spots and have no problem... except I don't like the right angle power supplies.
Seems like a good idea for MXR pedals and such, but it really just gets in the way of the jack.

after years and hundreds of shows, i've only seen 2 one spots die, one for me and one for a friend. they are totally worth the money.

I've used a Godlyke for years and it's been great... and totally inexpensive...

Re: pedal power supplies?!
I use a Diago, great little box, it gives me no problems with most of the pedals, and for the ones its does (RC-2 looper, Echopark and HBE Germania) I use an VHT Valvulator with its isolated outs.
