Power Alternative

[Dylfish]

Hey guys, im planning on putting 2 effects in 1 enclosure, is it possible to run both off 1 9v adap.?

[DDD]

Yes, it's a good idea.

Here is a pic of the beginnings of a "2 efx in one box" project.

The pic shows a piece of perf board I hot glued to the box top with some craft foam
for insulation. The board is connected to the power jack.

There are red and green LEDs connected to the perf with current limiting resistors.
There are then two rows of PCB pins (http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=64)
One row of four pins is soldered to the power jack ground. The other row
of four is soldered to the power jack positive.

This makes for a handy little power distribution board.
You could also easily add power filter caps to the board too.

This technique, or something like, is an alternative to soldering
two or three wires to one tab of the power jack.

You can also use a small terminal strip to distribute power and ground to the PCBs and LEDs

Here's what it looks like when finished...
