Seriously thinking about that. Thanks! I'm looking over my pedals' AC adapters now.

Dangit, the Digitech Whammy 5 pedal has a weirdo power supply that provides AC, not DC. The Rocktron Banshee 2 needs 1.003A @ 5 watts, 9V AC. I don't use those much. I might be OK with needing 3 or 4 AC outlets. Need one for amp and one for a VG, one for this Donner, and 2 for the weirdo pedals = 5 outlets. Dang. Hope that price lasts because I gotta think about whether I want that. What a price, though.

the Digitech Whammy is power hungry  -

later versions  run on DC power, but often requires its own power supply (draws 288mA)

thats a typical Harmon 9V DC @ 1300mA Universal Adapter ( as Tom Cram mentions above)

Note the polarity of the jack 

Whammy draws 288mA @ 9VDC


should work on one of the three 9V @ 300MA jacks

Center negative, like the rest of my pedals.

That's super good news. Thanks for reviewing the specs with me! I'm gonna get that.

It arrived! So far, not happy with it. I started powering my pedals, adding them one at a time by changing the power source from whatever they were using to the DP-Z.

When I attach pedal 1, Aeros Loop Studio, sounds fine.

When I attach pedal 2, Red Panda Tensor with stereo upgrade, it adds noise. One reason to use a pedal board power supply is to decrease noise, not increase it, right? Am I mistaken?

It doesn't have a plug that fits my Eventide H9. The H9's pin is too fat for these Donner adapter cables.

Not sure I want to bother digging out more pedals to try, but I definitely need to take a walk and grumble a bit.

But my main beef with it is that it literally adds noise. I hoped for at least not hearing more noise than when I use each pedal's adapter plugged into a power strip.

Both those are high current Power hogs

Must run Aeros looper on a separate dedicated Power supply

Myself I;m just running several mini pedals  - that draw 100-200ma each -no noise

and even with an expensive CIOKS Power supply - you will run into situations where you must run a separate power supply  - ( like Digitech Whammy never plays well being run from one common pedal board supply)
https://cioks.com/home-1/


then I  use this to power analog pedals only  - and plug OEM adapters into the AC Strip on top

but your pedals appear to be among the problem ones which often consume a lot of initial POWER ON INRUSH CURRENT - which may be 10 times the quiescent power requirement

Latest cheap pedal board for vintage surf gigs.
All 9 devices are powered by one  Donner DP-Z  Guitar Pedal Power Supply
Band also plays a few Blues tunes, and garagerock hits from 50's, 60's  Using the Donner DP-Z to power all 9 effects, very clean.

Dusted off my old Surfrider III  -which after extensive testing rose to the top for emulating my genuine 64 Fender Tube Reverb tone.
