My main concern would be with the size of such a power supply, especially for powering 12VAC pedals. They’re running off of 1A supplies.

Perhaps a supply with multiple 9VDC outputs (isolated a plus, because of pedals like the Nano Muff and Bass Blogger), two 24VDC outputs (isolated as well), a single 12VAC output (how many of you REALLY own more than one tube-loaded EHX pedal? :p), and a fourth type of output which is switchable to power the more unusual ones like the Frequency Analyzer, yet be flexible enough to run some other weirdly-powered pedal, too.

And it should come with wheels, because an isolated-output supply of this grade of flexibility won’t be very small.

I’ll hold out for the Nano version of the supply.

Yeah, the SCT is naturally noisy (as is the original, IIRC), but there’s nothing else I’ve used which sounds like it.

The regular Small Clone is quieter, but doesn’t sound like the SCT.

Are you a bass or guitar player? If you’re a bass player, try turning down your tweeters. Most of the hiss will go away when those are turned down.

The PP2+ also has a 3-prong courtesy AC outlet on the back. I used it for the wall wart of my Digitech Whammy IV, back when I had a Whammy. That should save you some space on your power strip.

Yep, it’s an input gain trimpot.

I used to own one a long while back. I had to turn the trimpot down significantly because my Stingray was pushing it into extreme “squashing” even at milder settings. By turning it down, you increase your dynamic range, allow for milder compression, and even reduce the noise.

It’s probably set high to be ideal out-of-the-box for passive lower-output guitars. Basically, the vintage instrument / classic compression combo.

It might be a bit much to ask for the schematics of new pedals, but old pedals… hmm. There’s an idea.

But with the way they’re reissuing the old gems, maybe it’s asking for too much?
