    I have the harley benton one and it's great.

    Daisy-chainings okay for a while, but you're splitting the mA between the pedals, and some pedals like digital delay are power hogs.

    How many you got?

    Could you not just get a 9v adaptor & a cheap daisy chain for fiver or so?

    I intend to have around six, currently buying.

    Ok, so it works with BOSS pedals? Because I read the back of one and it said it works with their adaptor only, which is probably complete bollocks but I would like to check.

    Boss pedals can be powered by any generic power supply really that has the 9V and enough mA, they only put that in the manual to get people to pay more for their PSU instead of a cheaper one.

    I've two of these. Really good. I power about nine or ten pedals from one of them. As small as a nano stomp box too.

    Didn't intend to advertise the store, was only trying to offer a solution to OP's question. Post removed

    there's one in maplin in blanch or henry street that'll power a few pedals for not a lot of money not quite as good as the harley from the looks of it

    also I use a boss PSA dasiy chaining form my Tu2 to various effects ( all 9vdc) no problems , and they are about €20-25 + whatever for the daisy chain

    I went and ordered the Harley, along with a bunch of other stuff I didn't plan to (why does that always happen!). Thanks for all the advice, guys.
