    The wall wart is the big power supply that comes with electronic equipment. AC adaptor is another name ;)

    I'll post info on the PP2 when my new ones come in.

    Those are all 9volt pedals. Now add a wall wart to the back and see what happens. The Y cables will eventually eat up more MA's then the PP has available, just do the math. If you got 9 to work that is awesome, but none of those pedals eat up more power as they warm up.


    Sure, I'd avoid the bigger, heavy-draw pedals. But you take any normal, run-of-the-mill pedal, and you can daisy a few of them together. I'd be wary of plugging an EH Memory Man into the PP2 unless you weren't using many other pedals. The PP2 isn't a surge protector, it's a specialty power supply and conditioner. And for most people with most pedals, it'll do okay.

    And don't plug your amp directly into the provided AC jack.

    Yep yep!!! :)

    But, as most people just don't realize this stuff they see the jacks and they start plugging in.
    Trems, and Delays along with any tube powered pedal are the ones to watch out for. Plus any EH box as the power cut off goes bad often.

    it's done.

    it's a ridiculous monstrosity that i'll probably never leave the house with.

    but it's nice for noodling around at home and having all my sounds available.

    I'm making one in wood class as we speak :D

    What exactly is that pedal power thing...is it like a giant adaptor for numerous pedals??

    Cause I use 9V for my 2 pedals now cause i never wanted to fork out the extra $20 for the ACA.....is that a good call??

    You should spend the cash on an ac adapter, if you think about it a 9v lasts what 1-2 hours if its a name brand and 30 minutes if its a bargain bin battery you have already spent alot more on batteries than the ac costs.

    You can go to Walmart and get a philips multi-voltage, multi-plug ac-adapter for 8.99, then go to a music store and buy whats call a Daisy chain, it basically plugs into the ac adapter and then has 5 plugs on it one for each pedal
