Quick power question

So I am putting 4 pedals in one box, I always have these 4 pedals on my board, and want to save space and power.

I use a voodoo lab pedal power 2. I know the "Line6" option seems to just be 9v at 1200ma vs the normal 100ma. It seems like 100ma for 4 pedals is not enough, so is there any risk of damage of using the line 6 option. I know that it shouldn't matter if extra amperage is available, as they should only draw what they need, but I would hate to fry things.

BTW, the pedals are a thunderchief, blue magic, dr. boogey and an mxr noise gate, all that I already built, I am just rehousing.

Thanks!

There should be no problem using a wall-wart rated for 1000mA or more. You can probably find stabilized 9V wallwarts rated 1A or more for a fraction of what a Line 6 power supply costs, if you look in a hardware store (anywhere else than a music instrument shop).
