I have a Boss TU-2 Tuner pedal and it can power multiple Boss pedals, I know that using the same power source to feed multiple pedals can sometimes cause noise issues like ground loops but I was wondering if the Boss pedals are designed to be powered with this daisy chain scheme and not present any noise problems.  

I'm betting that Boss has this all sorted out, am I right?

I have several Boss pedals on my pedalboard along with several DIY pedals. They are all powered by a Boss PSA-120 wall wart via a daisy chain. No problems at all with hum or ground loops.

I guess I should mention that all the power is also run through a Boss PSM-5 Master Power Supply which can also bypass all of the pedals connected to it. I think it also has a voltage regulator - it measures 9.5V regardless of the load.  8)
