    hey, i was just wondering if anyone knew if this Gator power supply thing http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gator-G-BUS-8-US-Deluxe-Pedal-Board-Power-Supply-104004775-i1166484.gc is good to power my pedals. i know that the voodoo labs thing is really good, but for me, i dont think it has enough outputs, especially because two would be taken up to power an 18v pedal like my FH, but this has seprate 18v outputs. the reveiws on the GC website dont really help me so i was wondering if anyone here knew anything about this. like how well does this thing work? are there any noise problems withthe pedals ill be using? the pedals ill be using with it are probably gonna be:

    ibanez wh10
    boss ds2
    possibly z vex fuzz probe
    big muff
    small clone
    SMMH
    flanger hoax

    but i might add my ds1 and lpb 1 later cause ill still have two more outputs availible.

    thanks!!

    The outputs on the gator aren’t isolated. So it’s essentially like having an 18v daisy chain and a 9v daisy chain, and that’s it. Your SMMH would be sharing power with the other pedals, and it wouldn’t like that and you’d probably have noise issues.

    I’ve been wanting to get a CIOKS DC-10. 10 outputs + a lower profile than the Voodoo Labs PP2+ + more power handling.

    On the PP2+ though, you know you can plug a daisy chain into an output. One output could supply the Big Muff, Small Clone, Fuzz Probe, DS-2, and I think the WH-10 as well. because most of those analog pedals draw from about 5-15 ma and each output puts out 100ma. The 5 + 6 outputs on the PP2+ put out 250ma for stuff like the SMMH.

    thanks for the response.

    i was unaware of that, now im kinda reconsidering getting the PP2+ if i can daisy chain stuff like that with one output. so basically, if i use a 5 pedal cable thing for a chain in each output, i can power a bunch of pedals. not that i need that many, but its nice to know that now ill be able to power more than 10 pedals. now i just gotta save up a few more dollars for this…
