I wrote a mini review of my pèdalboard, it has built in power adapter for six pedals (five 9v and oine 12V):

A guitar tech made me a custom power adapter that can power up six 9V pedals.

Well you can use daisy chain power cables and only two strong adapters - one for 9V and other for 12V.
With cables like this you can then connect all the pedals:  Adapter with power rating of 1000 ampers will fit all your needs. I'm sure you already have good adapters and now just need these daisy chain cables... -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

If you have 9V and 12V stomps, it may be good to get two adapters with filtering. This will be the cheaper solution. More expensive one is to get custom power like Voodoo Lab or T-Rex one.
Another option is to use the rechargeable batteries. It can be annoying to recharge them all the time, but they sound the best no doubt and there are no power cables on the pedalboard.

I use a Godlyke powerall. It power up to 9 or 10 on a single adapter, and it's remarkably noiseless (and cheap).
Some seem to get noiseproblems with it though, but nothing here. -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio

QUOTE (Keilnoth @ Mar 20 2010, 05:09 PM)  I've just bought a multi-plug and something odd happen. I have a 300 mA transformer so I tried to plug the transformer in the multi-plug and then in the pedals and nothing happen ?! Don't really understand why... The cable is brand new. Do you know if the multi-plug switch the polarity (+ / -) of the power cable ? And what could happen if I switch the polarity to test ? Will the pedal burn to the ground or explode ? Thanks Hmmm 300mA transformer is pretty weak. It should be able to power 2-3 pedals max....Try plugging only 1 pedal to the transformer (with multi plug connected) to see if multiplug works. Possibly it wired in opposite... I guess you could switch the polarity to test if it works then. Pedals should not expolode or burn but I can not guarantee that  hehehe Use your least favorite pedal for that kind of test ehheheh

In the mean time you can test the multi plug by connecting only 1 pedal to it. Possibly 300mA wasn't enough to power all the pedals you had so that is why it didn't work.
QUOTE (Keilnoth @ Mar 20 2010, 05:54 PM) I don't have any pedal I don't like. Will wait 'til someone can explain me the trick.

I'm not sure what is going on. Those daisy chain power cables (multiplug) are very simple to use and they work just as an extension cord. Perhaps polarity gets reversed on the 9V adapter or it doesen't just fit in the extension plug on the multi plug.
Maybe you should test it with a different 9V adapter or get a different multiplug... Gennerally 300mA is really tight for powering multiple pedals. Boss pedalboard comes with a 1000mA which is kind of standard that allows for multiple pedals to be powered. QUOTE (Keilnoth @ Mar 21 2010, 12:33 PM) I tested the multi-plug with my 16V transformer on another pedal and it just works fine.
Really odd...  Perhaps the tip of my 9V transformer doesn't fit in the multi-plug. I don't understand, really. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Glad it works now!
I recommend geting a good 1000mA power adapter for those 9V pedals. You can get a boss one (one they supply with the BCB-60 pedalboard) - its small and works well. (very little noise too). QUOTE (Keilnoth @ Mar 23 2010, 08:35 AM) Finally, it works ! I plugged another transformer and seems this one is OK.
