I want to get a pedal board, and I've read the other posting on smaller pedal boards, but I have a question for everyone:
What's better, getting a small pedalboard like a Pedaltrain and using a Voodoo Lab Power Pedal 2....or
Some other pedal board that has the 9volt adapters built in?
I'll be using:
Morley Bad Horsie Wha Fulltone Fulldrive 2 Line 6 DL4 delay Some kind of roto sim/vibe maybe a Boss chorus
Any comments?
Also, has anyone had a problem with the power supply being on the board? Any additional hum or buzz?

I haven't had any hum or buzz from my Pedal Power 2, but I could sure use that real estate for another pedal. On the other hand, those boards that have built in power all seem to be a lot bigger than my mid-sized Pedaltrain board. If I had a board that big, I'd have room on there for the Pedal Power 2!

Too bad the Pedal Power can't go under the board.

Too bad the Pedal Power can't go under the board. Yeah, it's too thick for that. I've already tried it on my Pedaltrain.

Well yeah, if you're willing to saw into your Pedaltrain... I have that one here too, and the Pedal Power sure won't go under without making those cuts. But I don't want to use that board - too flipping humungous!

A great inexpensive power supply to try is the Visual Sound One Spot. If all you need is 9volt DC, it can run a ton of pedals with a daisy chain. Its a switching supply too, so you can stick it pretty close to a wah or volume without hum. Of course, it doesn't have any "sag" features or alternate voltages, but for straight DC, its great and cheap. I use one on my acoustic board and I simply stuck a piece of Velcro on one of its sides, stuck it to the board with an extension cord for power. Its not elegant, but it doesn't take up a ton of real estate. I use it on my SKB board, which has 5 dc jacks to distribute the power.

I've been using a One Spot for 2 years with absolutely no problems.

I used one of the Visual sound One Spots for awhile and it worked great until I needed more power. I've been using the GODLYKE Powerall supply since and its been working out great. The Line 6 pedals take alot of milliamps and I'm able to power a DL4, MM4, DS1, Ts9, Keeley comp, CE-2, a tuner, wah, and a switcher all on a little digital wall wart that I think even regulates European vlotage. A good deal @ $40. I had to buy more of the daisy chain cable and I preferred the 1-spot brand for that because they have 90 degree ends which makes for a cleaner pedalboard
