to build, or not to build...

[afischer82]

...that is the question

I've built three boxes thus far--two TS808s and a BSIABII.  I need a power supply to power my pedals and my tuner, and since a pedal board is in the near future I would like to get this done soon.  All of the posts, layouts, how-to's, etc. I find on these things warn of the risk involved with a build like this.  If I were to build a power supply, I would probably buy the Small Wart 200 kit from Small Bear.  I can't say that I'm an expert on this stuff, but my knowledge is ever-improving, and I'm very careful during the course of a build, and would be during testing of something like this.  Should I attempt this build?

If not, why?  Also if not, what commercial power supplies should I look at purchasing?

Thanks for your help!

 Go for it! Just don't solder while plugged in!

If you want a good inexpensive power supply I would recommend the Godlyke.

  I copped Visual Sound One Spot Adapters, skinny and take only one spot on a power strip, best dern dapter buys I've ever made, super low noise and 1700 ma.

I've got the One Spot too. It's good and cheap. It can power a LOT of pedals too. I've got 6 on it at this time. Two of them are hogs.

If you are careful, do it.
Remember the basic rules, hand in the pocket, etc

A while back I purchased 2 adapters from a guy on eBay for a total of around $10+shipping.  They are laptop-style (where there's the plug, then a length of cord, then the box, then a length of cord again) so they also only use 1 spot on a surge protector.  They are rated at 2A each and I am currently running something like 6 pedals on one - they other I just keep as backup.  I can't complain about these things- they're 9v/2A, slimline, take only one spot on the strip... I was worried that I would have "noise" issues, but I just haven't experienced any... my 2 cents...
