Question Power Supply query

[Spudmurphy]

I want to make a "mini" FX pedal case using just 2 pedals an Xotic EP Booster and an overdrive unit say an Xotic AC or BB booster.

Can anybody recommend a power supply - the smaller the better that would power just two pedals. A wall wart would be acceptable at a push!
Cheers

Get a One Spot. I'm powering 8 pedals with no problems.

Spud, pretty much any small 9V adapter will work (negative tip). Each of those pedals draws less than 10 mA, so you're barely using any current.

Yup! With current draw that small even batteries will last quite well (not really a pedal board option, I know). One Spot is my first choice too. Small, reliable, and will power a LOT of pedals if you ever need to.

Cheers Guys. I'll check out the one spot - but I'm put off by the continental 2 prong set up on it. Would prefer a good ol' UK 3 prong plug - don't want an adapter.
Not looking for anything too fancy.
My board has 6 pedals and a tuner on it and I use a power supply on that.It's just that I want to make a small board of 2/3 pedals, for convenience sake.

I'm not entirely sure the UK version is two-prong. I think it might be three. My brain tells me it's definitely seen it (but then again it is 2.30am here).

t-rex junior is very good, powers up to 5 pedals

Cheers Jamie. A tad pricey for what I want it for - I'm wanting to build a mini pedal board - 2/3 pedals max and one of those is an ep booster.They will be housed on a custom fabricated Aluminium base that will have the power supply underneath in the base.I'm liking the idea of a one spot type power unit.

Visual Sound website shows three-prong for UK version of One Spot.

Thanks guys.

Before I started this thread I hadn't heard about the one spot.

I phoned up GAK in the UK and they have confirmed that it is a 3 prong - so no adaptors required.

I'll probably order one in the near future - now all I need is a cheap Xotic AC Comp and I'll be on my way!!
