Just a heads up to let the Australians here know I successfully built a super quiet power supply using a Wii (not Wii U) power supply. I've tried computer power supplies (noisy) and a Weber multiple isolated windings (magnetic interference with high output p90s) and this has been the best. I used a variation of the below AMZ schematic. The Wii power supply runs at 3.7 amps so I have 3 7809s giving 1amp each 12v and an 18v charge pump from one of the 9v outputs. My most difficult pedal to play well with others is a dual valvcaster. Of course this is no garuntee other Wii power supplies will work but it's worth a shot.
