Maybe I’ll order a broken one from Amazon and post pics.

So what exactly does this too us? Surely you can’t put one of these on each daisy chain plug to isolate it right? If so that’s a clever idea. Wonder what the usb one does

Figuring out the specs on the converters is kind of going over my head. Can anyone point me toward the right Mouser converter for what I'm trying to do, which is:
9V OneSpot wall wart (1500 mA) > 4 Tap > 9V outs (maybe 250 mA, something around there)
By "float," do you mean that instead of external screws, the PCB is held in place by the pressure of the screwed on backplate against the standoffs? Is there a size that works best with a 1590A?

Those isolated DC-DC converters look like they take 5v input. If you have a 5v power supply, couldn't the 5v LDO and rectifier circuit be bypassed?
What would be a super nice companion to this is something like those USB battery packs meant to charge your phone or other devices. I.e., something that accommodates a number of 18650 or 21700 lithium-ion cells, and includes a mains-power-based charging circuit (a charging circuit that is robust enough to allow the battery pack to be used as a supply while it's charging). And some way to indicate remaining battery charge.
The use-case is to have all the goodness of individual high-current, isolated DC supplies for your pedals, and modern lithium-ion batteries as the source, as well as the ability to plug the power supply into AC mains in case you forgot to charge the batteries.
Essentially, a UPS (uninterruptable power supply) for your pedals.

Absolutely, there are 9V versions as well.
The regulator and rectifier (and 5V converters instead of 9V) are solely for the "universal" power supply capability.
It can (and probably should) be made much simpler and efficient by dropping that whole section.
