Ok..... purchased my last pedal for the new board today. All thats left is the new power supply. There is a cat on ebay thats doing BBE Supa Chargers for 122.50 shipped, and that looks pretty attractive to me. I was about to buy a new Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 but I figured Mark Stoddard at Lava Cable could use a few extra bucks. Does anyone run one of the BBE's. I heard they run a little hot and the power supply will be mounted under the board.
I will be running a Budda Wah, Planet Waves tuner, RC Booster, AC Booster, BB Preamp, DD20, Boss OC2, Voodoo Labs Micro Vibe, Voodoo Labs Analog Chorus, EH Pulsar tremolo. There's a Carl Martin compressor in there too but it has it's own AC cord. I've been running One Spots for about the last 6 months but I'm getting some hum.
I know I've been asking alot of opinions lately but this is about the only forum thats sans the ying yang factor.

All I can say is you can't go wrong with the Pedal Power 2. I've been using it for years without any issues.

Good Luck!

i'd add up the juice you use and see if it fits easily. also don't have exp with the bbe, but pp2 sure works good. powers the dd20 on the line6 output.

And so it is. I ordered my Pedal Power 2 plus yesterday. I guess it pays to go with a sure thing here.

Thanks guys,

Another happy PP2 user here, like Tom said, it's the only thing that seems to work with the dd-20. I tried about every other power supply but they all introduced this high pitched whirr with the dd-20, I guess it draws a lot of juice. Plus, the sag outputs are really cool on the PP2, for a fuzz box, you can make it sound as though it's about ready to melt, very cool,

I use 2 PP2's under my T-trash board (dern 18v pedals take up two outputs) and they have always worked well for me even after getting shipped all over the place via truck, car, or plane in a soft case.

The juice-box at pedalgear.net looks awesome too, more versatile than the PP2... but expensive and kinda big
