I use the One-Spot it powers all my stuff and is really quiet... Powers my Boss Tuner,Vox Wah, Keeley DS-1, TS-9, Comp, and an H2O. But I would like the Pedal Power 2 sometime soon though. Sorry I don't have any experience with the Dunlop Brick, the 18v options sounds like a good feature.

Howdy, VL PP2 users...
I'm thinking it's time to get a more sophisticated power supply. The One-Spot has been a bit sporadic of late. I almost walked out of a shop with a VL PP2 the other day, but as I looked at it, I began to have concerns about how it would fit under my Pedal Train board, since the plugs are on the front AND the back of the unit.
So, anyone use their VL PP2 with a Pedal Train? Any other thoughts on mounting? Or suggestions for other power supplies that provide good isolation and practical outlet arrangement?
Thanks!
Brian

I use a one spot. Some older pedals don't like it at all. The Holy Grail desn't like it either.

Instead of buying first a pedalboard and then a good power supply for the same $ I bought a Pedalpad, and one of the modules is PowerPad II, a nice unit with 8 9volts dc jacks and (great idea) a derivation to add power to those pedals that run 12 or 18 v. I put in this courtesy outlet two 18v adapters for OCD and FD2, and T-Rex Replica 12v original adapter. All placed under 2nd pedals row. www.pedalpad.com

Furman SPB-8 usually, and a Godlyke on my test/quickie gig board. I have NEVER had noise issues with either...

Dunlop Brick. I needed as many 18 Volt outputs as I could get and it gives me 3. I have 2 MXR pedals that run at 18 Volts and I like to run my Fatboost at 18 as well. The Brick is a really nice piece of gear and the price is right.

One Spot: On a Holy Grail it makes it really hum thru the amp. On older pedals like an old Arion Stage Tuner, it'll make a high pitched whine thru the amp.

Pedal Power 2 here as well. I wish it would do 15 volts though - or I wish Radial would stop making their boxes requiring 15 volts! When I decide to put one of the Radial boxes back on the board, I usually hook a short power strip to the accessory outlet on the Pedal Power and plug in a couple of wall warts for the odd stuff. But I'm in power heaven right now - no warts on the board at this time! You can get 15 volts DC on the JuiceBox from Pedalgear.net. Along with 3000ma of power / AC and DC outputs / 3.5 to 24 selectable voltages / 2 V-bats / 110 or 220 switchable AC input. Line 6's modelling pedals require 9vAC. The pedals themselves rectify and filter the power internally. B. Line 6 uses something called a half bridge rectifier which will operate on either AC or with the correct cable and voltage setting - DC. There's a picture on the Modular Pedalboard page with a single JuiceBox powering FIVE Line 6 modeling pedals at once in addition to the rest of the pedalboard at the 2003 Summer NAMM show. And that was with an earlier model of the JuiceBox that had about 20% less power than the current model. You can even power an XT Pod with the new JuiceBox. See it here - www.pedalgear.net/page2/page11/page11.htmlTonyS

Well, I got the PP2 and it doesn't fit under the Pedal Train, but it did get rid of all the hiss and hum I was dealing with...Time to trim down the pedal selection to make room up top...

Brian I thought PedalTrain released a new line of boards that have space on the underside specifically for the PP2? In regard to the subject, I've been using a PP2 on one board and a PP2 Plus in addition to a OneSpot (plus Roland jumpers out of a TU2) on the other. Pretty quiet.

I too use PP2 plus ,in fact I have three of them for three different boards.The only down side are no 18v cables that come with the package.Very happy with PP2 plus,otherwise.

i have the pedalpad, but havn't used it in a while. seems to be a pretty nice unit though, other than being rather large.

Pedal Power 2 here. Had it for 2 1/2 years of heavy touring and studio work, and it's stood the test. No noise, just juice.
As far as DWeller's comments on the Pedal Train-
Yes, the Pedal Train "Pro" is designed to mount a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power underneath. However, it's not done at the factory. It's a $50 upcharge for the Voodoo Lab mount because it requires metal cutting of the frame.

That does not sound right.Both of my BB are silence when turn on and off.Call Xotics and let them know what your problems are.Hope this helps.

If you call Xotic, ask to speak to Toshio.

I just bought a Visual Sound One Spot, and couldn't be happier. Dead quiet, flawless power, increased room, less clutter- a home run all around, and the special adaptors work perfectly-all this for under $40!!! I am running a Keeley Compressor, a Barbar Direct Drive, a Boss AW-3, Digitech 1002 Delay, and a Petersen Strobe Tuner, into a Carmen Ghia head w/Dr.Z 2 x 10" cab, blond- beautiful to look at, amazing to hear. I am having a pedal Board built by NYC Pedalboards, which is where the above will reside

Another vote for the PPII. I just picked one up for my new board, and I love it. The 18V adapter works well on my OCD, too.
