3x 800ma output pedal power block?

[wilkinsi]

Of all the power supplies for multiple pedals I've seen won't exceed 400ma per output jack. I want a power block PSU that takes up only one outlet of my power conditioner, but will also output up to 800ma per output jack, thus enabling me to power all 3 of my Boss GT floorboard FX units and get rid of the 3 external PSU's I'm using right now. Does such a device exist?

What about this?: http://www.thomann.de/gb/cioks_ciokolate.htm

I would contact Daniel at GigRig and see if their Generator and Distributor would do it. The Generator is rated at 5A and they are in the UK. At NAMM a few years back Daniel powered the whole display booth off one Generator!

Thanks Rudy, email sent. FWIW, my GR/GT's use 9v DC to AC adapter PSU's, ranging from 600ma to 800ma each. So when looking for a multi power supply, should I be looking for 800ma DC?

What about just something like a Godlyke Powerall and the 5 jack daisy chain? Mine is 2000ma (2A). Wouldn't it work?

I'm under the impression they'd have to be isolated.

What model boss units are you using? you can check the specs and see what power they use, i.e. a GT-8 uses 14VAC (650mA), where i think the GT-10 uses 9VDC (800mA), so the PSU you chose will have to match the requirements of your devices,

[wilkinsi]

Already did.
Boss GT-10: 9v/800ma
Boss GT-100: 9v/600ma
Roland GR-55: 9V/700ma.
All 3 use Roland DC to AC external PSU's.
In the case of the Ciokolate, there's a 600ma DC outlet, but the 800ma is AC, not DC.

It seems the GigRig Generator w/Distributor and/or Isolator is the best option (as rudy mentioned above): this will give you 5A, which should be more than enough (800+600+700 = 2100mA / 2.1A at 9VDC)

Im sure that Daniel from GigRig will confirm the best option.

The Ciokolate doesnt have enough juice.

two other options I know of, the Godlyke power-all(which warlock mentioned) and MXR DC brick do a max of 2000mA, so they might work, since the ratings on the Boss units are probably max or nominal values there actual current draw might be slightly less

[wilkinsi]

Is there a device that measures the real rating? It would interesting to know if the GT-10 really does draw 800ma.

Yes, it's called an Ammeter, but you'd have to put it in-line.
