POWER SUPPLY : singular wires or Daisy Chain ?

[Davide]

I think that for an effect chain a singular cable going out of the power supply bringin 9v to all the boxes with a daisy chain would be more tidy and practical...

..but with a 6-7 effects chain is it a good solution ? Can a single wire provide enough current?

[Paul Perry (Frostwave)]

A single wire (or more correctly a single PAIR of wires!) can provide all the current in the world, if it is thick enough.
Personally, for 7 or so stompboxes, the sort of cable that goes to a lamp (or is cut off a TV in a dumpster) would be more than enough, and certainly cheap.

Yeah, Ohm would agree  

I had this doubt 'cause i dont know exactly how much current effects like high gain distorsion, wha, phaser etc need...  something like 50mA ?

[niftydog]

digital effects will suck the most power by far. Allow 50mA for most pedals and maybe 100mA for digi effects and you'll be fine.

[Paul Marossy]

As long as your power supply is well filtered and can provide enough current to power all of your pedals, daisy chaining works fine. On my pedalboard, I am powering 8 pedals plus a tuner, and it works well.

I havent tested it yet, but i'm building the Ultra Clean PS

I would actually like to do the same project to get rid of the million wall warts that I have.  Is there a link for the "Ultra Clean PS"?  I tried a search and couldn't find it.
