Power Supply

Hello,

I have a doubt about what power supply I should buy it? Hope someone can help me.
Below is the list of the pedals I own.

1- Vox Wah V847A (analog)
2- Boss TU1 (digital)
3- Boss CS3 (analog)
4- Ibanez TS9 (analog)
5- EWS - Little Fuzzy Drive (analog)
6- TC Electronic - mini spark (analog)
7- Boss - Delay DD3 (digital)
8- Boss - Reverb RV5 (digital)
9- Boss - Loop RC1 (digital)
 
Your analog pedals can be daisy chained together, but digital pedals should get their own power cables. I use a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power X4 which means I can daisy chain a number of analog pedals and have 3 digital pedals.. but I don't have any so it's all good :)

@Robert Can we get a DIY power supply project? I'd love that!

Thank you very much.
I don't know much about electronics (I try my best doing my own researches but sounds good) maybe in the future

Adding to this, my (amateur/unverified) understanding is that for the analog pedals, powering modulation separately from gain/compression is highly recommended as well, otherwise things get noisy (in a bad way). That approach has certainly worked for me, anyway, though I must admit I shelled out for a Strymon Zuma that has all the fancy-schmancy internals/filtering etc etc...
 
expensive but the CIOKS SOL or DC7 (I have a SOL) are great. I've looked at the DC voltage of a lot of cheaper power suppies and they either A) dont regulate well or B) have "spikes" from the components (PWM supplies). Some people swear by "linear" regulated supplies but those are hugely inefficient and lowish mA capability.

As stated you can run most analog on a daisy chain off one of the power supply outputs then the other (isolated) outs can be used for digital pedals if they are problematic (noise, etc)
