Right, not really computer related, but I do have any other homes i know the are clever people who know circuitry etc:P
Well here's how it goes:
My bro wants me to build a guitar FX pedal board with multi output power supply to power all the pedals without having about 7 AC adaptors.
So this is where I have little experience. From seeing the Dunlop Power brick and similar products. It would appear the total power needed for several pedals would be about 9V 1000mA. I was thinking can i get an 9V AC-DC adaptor. Make a parallel circuit to power all of the pedals?
Also, addressing the problem of electronic noise. Would i be correct in saying. It's better to have a Linear regulated PSU than a Switching regulated PSU. Will voltage ripple matter much at all for pedals? Should i add some extra capacitors or something somewhere to reduce ripple?
Any advice or ideas are welcome. Also any reality checks if it's far beyond possible or something i haven't realised. Thanks a lot for you help in advance!
