Tired of batteries and want to convert power to a 2.1mm wall supply, but not sure what needs to be added to the circuit...

Do I need to add a regulator and filter to the supplied voltage before it hits the circuit, and if so what is required?

If you use a good quality power supply, it will be sufficiently regulated and filtered, and you won't need to alter your effect circuits, except maybe add a power jack.  If you use a lousy power supply, you would at least want a filter cap (or two) at the power input.
