actually i have seen a box of some sort.. somewhat bigger than a regular AC/DC converter.. but you could attach 8-12 pedals to it.. if only i could find it again..

I most cases a standard 9V adapter is capable of running at least 3-5 pedals at once. Watch out: some pedals, for example delay pedals, require much more power than an overdrive or tuner... -------------------- Gear: - Jackson USA Select KV2 King V with EMG 81/85 - Gibson Les Paul Custom Arctic White with EMG 81/85 - Ibanez Rg 8527 J Custom 7-String with DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton - Peavey 6505+ head with Marshall 1960AV 4x12 cab - Peavey Vypyr 30 Practice Amp - Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, Maxon OD808, Boss TU-2, MXR CarbonCopy, ISP Decimator, MXR Custom Audio Electronics Booster |

Sry the boss thing is not what youre looking for, I meant something like this:
http://www.thomann.de/de/the_sssnake_dc5.htm You plug you adapter in one end and you can power several pedals at once -------------------- Gear: - Jackson USA Select KV2 King V with EMG 81/85 - Gibson Les Paul Custom Arctic White with EMG 81/85 - Ibanez Rg 8527 J Custom 7-String with DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton - Peavey 6505+ head with Marshall 1960AV 4x12 cab - Peavey Vypyr 30 Practice Amp - Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, Maxon OD808, Boss TU-2, MXR CarbonCopy, ISP Decimator, MXR Custom Audio Electronics Booster |

probably a VERY dumb question, but how would I wire the 1spot to 3 pedals at once?
nevermind, i assume I use this? http://www.guitarcenter.com/Visual-Sound-M...541-i1124558.gc |

Just make sure that you know how much power your pedals pull (labeled in amperage - A), so you get and adapter that has greater A value. Also buy adapter that has a big value, so when you upgrade eventually, you can use it then.

Usually 1000mA adapter should do the job fine..But make sure you buy the one that is "stabilized" because if its not good quality one you can get annoying buzzing through pedals because of power supply.
