I'm working on consolidating my various gear to a few racks and cases.
Ideally each case will have one power cable and one multipin snake.
I was paging through a MI catalog and noticed the page of effect pedal power supplies from Dunlop, Voodoo Labs, Eventide etc.
Basically this http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-VOO-P44-LIST
This http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i- ... CTOR2-LIST
or this http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i- ... ELEON-LIST
Any of you guys using these?
Seeing as most of my synth gear is 9v or 12v I'd think I could do away with my small forest of wall warts and hopefully just have one of these per rack with a smattering of other non-standard power supplies where needed.
I'd attempted this 'on the cheap' using one of those daisy chain cables and a 1 amp 9v power supply. Utter noise failure. So isolated outputs is surely important!

Happy you posted this, waiting for responses.

With 300Ma on the output I'm assuming this won't work with keyboards. The way your post reads, I'm assuming it's for 19" racks and or modular? Output.
My AN1X is the lowest and it's 700Ma

Re: Isolated Power Supply bricks for Synths?
Oh, those do look kind of neat. Never occured to me that pedal board PSUs might have anything besides 9V outputs.
I'm surprised that this sort of thing isn't more of a mainstream product already, with all the electronic stuff that even normal people has piling up all over the place now.

Re: Isolated Power Supply bricks for Synths?
a lot of digital guitar pedals are 12v.
about the amperage I am not sure, but most of my boxes aren't keyboards. they are desktop synths or drum machines. the last I checked they weren't exceptionally high amp requirements.
