    never used it but shud be alright, its just like a rip off of a fuel tank or dc brick kinda thing

    only 500mA max for the ov section which i find kinda low but shud suffice no problem no idea of the quality or if its noisy or anything

    I'm not ordering anything from thomann any time soon. Maybe in August if you want to wait, I'll be getting a powersupply myself and a pedalboard.

    Were bouts are you?

    Try get one of those Maplin AC->DC power supplies? If you want cheap and with no delivery charge.

    Ah nah It's alright. I need it fairly soon me thinks. Thanks anyway.

    Ill figure out something.

    To El Pron, I might do that but it's easier to get a specific guitar one.

    You got a link of one?

    You don't want to mess with AC at all, unless you know what you're doing. It could potentially KILL you.

    I put this bold and in red just to make my point clear. :)

    EE?

    I'd be wary of cheap daisy chains. I got a good one off Diago.co.uk, and a cheap one in Perfect Pitch from that GYC brand. The Diago one works perfectly, and the GYC doesn't work at all, and the lengths of cable are also way too short to be useful on anything other than a board full of Boss pedals.

    Daisy chains, when not working properly, are imo the most frustrating type of gear.

    No, aircraft systems but going down the Avionics route and electronics takes up the most of the course. I'm thinking of going into EE though after it.

    Don't really wanna daisy chain it.

    Thanks for all the help guys.
