See the first two posts in this thread, yeah!

Your solo act, not your pedal board

Musta been like 6-7 years ago now I took a random piece of thinnish plywood and added some velcro crap to it. I've swapped out pedals here and there, and yes usually the velcro sticks to itself harder than to the pedals, but it works, so... The whole thing fits pretty nicely in the body section of the case I got with my baritone guitar, and leaves room up where the headstock goes for my "wallwart friendly" power strip and random things like my Roland GK cable, a VP Jr, even a mic and cable if I cram it in there right. Then there's still room in the compartment with the door.

For power, I put one of the Boss-style DC jacks for input and 4 1/8" TS jacks for output with "current limiting" resistor, a Big Ass Cap, and individual little caps for each output into my DIY feedback looper. No regulating or nothing. I use a 1A wallwart to power that, and can run most of my pedals off of it. There's only about 1W worth of resistors in there, though, and I burned them out once already trying to suck too much power through. I had to supplement with a One Spot dedicated to my GigaDelay because it and any other digital pedal (Digitech DigiVerb or the Behringer equivalent) just refused to play nice together.

Apparently I won a Sweetwater web contest, which means I now need to find room for 7 more Moog pedals. #firstworldproblems

Aminds me, the One-Spot I have has 8 jacks.

Do I need a fecund One-Spot to run more pedals?

I understand I can crunch the numbers - but has anyone any hands-on experience?

You can get another daisy chain cable.

Obviously you need to watch your current draw and in my experience, the noise can get worse though I don't think it'd be any better if you buy a second one spot, for example.

Yeah, it completely depends on the current draw. You could probably run 45 Fuzz Faces (without indicator LEDs, maybe) from a single One Spot, but a couple of GigaDelays or similar will probably be too much. The good thing being that the One Spot is one of the most idiot-proofed of all the available pedal supplies. You just plain can't burn it out in any normal (and most abnormal) circumstances. It might shut down if you try to drive a short circuit, but once you fix that issue, it'll work just like new.

Thanx, gents!

Alternatively godlyke sells a daisy cable that does 11 pedals too.

a fuzz that i got recently says not to use switching type power supplies with it, not sure why. I use batteries on all my fuzz pedals anyhow...

I just bought some Chinee extension plugs for my One-Spots such that I can now run 13 FX (8 + 6, use 1 to connect the leads); I'll try 'em and report back.

If I survive.

Survive what? The drummer throttling you for dicking with your pedals too much during practice?

Some switching supplies can be rough and noisy. Some regular supplies also.

The difference being the frequency of the noise, I suppose.

Hmm

S: I've currently no drummer to practice with.
