Yoke for powering pedals

    I have a One Spot currently and it causes ground loop issues, also I my Electric Mistress which is one of my fav pedals needs 18v, though I think you can just get an adapter for that to halve the draw/double the voltage(I don't like to have more than 3 pedals plugged in at once generally).

    I don't want to spend a lot of money, though I was considered getting a powered pedal board maybe too, though generally I prefer just throwing pedals on the floor I do make an awful mess.

    I have a pedaltrain powered from the voodoo labs PSU A bit expensive but is a great little unit and reliable also. A worthwhile investment.

    Yeah I don't want something too pricey. I'm mad into my effects but don't like to have more than a couple actually plugged in at once, I use Fuzz + M9 for most things.

    not sure what the cheapist multi pedal powering device is now, theres a few out there, but the dc brick i have is perfectly grand for powering all pedals 18v in there too

    boss adapter and daisy chain is cheap too, but no 18v

    If it's only for 3 pedals it wouldn't be too cumbersome to just carry around an extension lead and plug them all in individually? (assuming you have plugs for each)

    I wish I knew why I got ground loops with my One spot.

    It's only with certain pedals too. Maybe it'd be fine for someone else.

    It's just a case that some pedals need isolated power while most don't. Here's a nice comparison table for a most of the pedal power supply options out there:

    That's neat, but doesn't list an average price which is kinda bad.

    I really wish my One spot worked better. Mainly I want to use it to power my Microkorg at the moment.

    I got this for less than €50 a few years back in Maplins. Never got round to using it, though, so I can't say how it affects the sounds. However, there are pics of Guthrie Govan's pedal board on this forum (few years back) where he has the same power supply. He's no Billy Gibbons, though...:pac:
