Dual pedal

Hi everyone:)
I was thinking of building a dual pedal that fits all my needs in one closure. I have built a few pedals and have some basic knowledge but I am far from great at reading electronic charts and layouts. I’d thought I ask here to see if someone can chime in on this before I order every parts and start. I thought I build the Isosceles boost (33/grind/tc preamp) And the zuul clone gate in the same large pedal. So I can choose a couple of different boost in front of the amp and have the gate in the loop. So here is my questions and thoughts: I would have an enclosure that is the double in size of an normal pedal and 2 ins an 2 outs. The in will go to a buffer circuit that vill split into 2 buffers output internally. One into the zuul key jack and one into the 33/boost/preamp. Is it possible to power all three circuit boards with the same 9v dc outlet? Or is it risk for ground loops because one pedal goes in front of the amp and one in the loop. Might this be an issue even with different dc outlet because the jacks are grounded to the enclosure? Also is there a problem if I were to connect the three different circuit boards because of the charge pump in the boost circuit?
Hope someone can shed some light on this cuz this pedal setup would be my dream pedal. One pedal to bring destruction and silence in one large enclosure. Cheers guys :)

Look in the Madbean help files under Footswitch Wiring Essentials. I think it's on this page: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/tutorials/index.html
It covers how to deal with the footswitching. As far as your specific questions are concerned I'm afraid I'm no help to you because I don't know anything about how the Zuul functions other than that it isn't just a straightforward pedal. It uses a sidechain or something like that, doesn't it? Anyway, you might find the MBP doc helpful as a starting point.

Good luck with the build, sounds like a cool project.
 
I can't comment on the ground loop issue, it's just not something I've ever dealt with personally.

Aside from that, there's no reason you can't build what you describe.

You can even wrap the Muzzle around an integrated distortion/overdrive if that's what you'd like.
