alright, so im trying my best to build all these pedals, but my biggest problem is powering all of them.  9 volt batteries arent cheap!  ive got 2 9v adapters @ 200ma and another 9.6v adapter @ 300ma for some other name brand pedals.  would it be possible for me to make any of these into like a multi-power adapter?  i think if i just put the 9v jack on all of my boards and them connect them with the right kind of hook up/wire it will just draw more from the wall but still at 9v (or 9.6) for all of them.  could someone clear this up for me?

by the way they are DOD, dunlop (same brand, i know, but different names on the adapter) and an ibanez so i think the quality SHOULD be good

thanks

Check out General Guitar Gadgets. There are a few projects for power supplies and I think your issue is addressed. Your biggest concern will probably be your current draw - how many pedals and what type? Delays will suck up some current - overdrives aren't so bad. A good choice would probably be  a 1000ma supply.
