Unless he reused the housing, it's a Biyang pedal

I know I've got the same one.  :icon_mrgreen:

This isn't my pedalboard, but I figured I should share anyway. This is Eric Johnson's pedal board from his show I saw last night in Santa Ana, CA. Incredible concert! Enjoy  ;D

Does the Fame DCT200 power your Space Station? I thought it did 12VAC, not 9VAC?

There is one 12V AC output on the DCT200 just like the similar Harley Benton Power Plant.

Just finished building the wooden platform tonight:

The Chorus is the biyang, it's a lovely ce2 clone with extra controls. Can't build nicer for the money.

The fane dct200 doesn't power the space station I have a wall wart a present. I am working on dropping down the 12vac to 9v. I tried the 12v and the pedal powered up gut was in content overload. Funnily, the proper wall wrt o have reads 11v ac (!!!)

Sill the 12v dc works for the line 6 just fine, and for the money the power supply is excellent. Isolated outputs, battery sag outlets, lots of mA on tap etc. For £59 it's amazing.

Tube Driver out, TS808 in, no sign of rubber bands on the (grey!) FF, and lots of little boxes that are probably footswitches controlling routing or off-board effects. Lots of George L's.

Ahh, that's too bad. I'd really like to go down to one power supply (I use a WH-2), without spending lots and lots of money.

Do-It-Yourself, man! ;) Custom PSU for pedalboard is a nice DIY project.. T.

Jack Orman has boards for his power supply project again, if that floats your boat.

It's REALLY easy to cut George L's to length, so I'm assuming that there is a tone reason that there is a rat's nest of coiled up too long cables on that board  ;)

Its 10 euro delivery to the UK, I bought it from the same store.



oh ok, i was of the opinion a £ is more worth than an €. This is because I wondered.

Do you know of any existing DIY projects that do 9VAC as well? I haven't ventured very far into the world of AC power and transformers, so I haven't figured out how to add a 9VAC out to one of the existing DIY power supply projects that I know of.

I would beware of sending AC directly to a supply or pedal that rectifies it.  The diodes conduct only when the incoming peak voltage exceeds the capacitor voltage (unless you are using a choke input - but nobody does that at 9 VAC) but the average current must equal the time-averaged peak current.  Thus, even if you are powering a pedal like a phaser that may only take 25 mA, the peak currents may be 250 mA and they will contain a lot of harmonics from 60 Hz through RF frequencies.

You just need to add another transformer inside or you can use multi-winding transformer for your PSU with one winding dedicated to this output.

You should start by creating list of voltages (and currents) you need (now and in the "known" future) for your pedalboard and then design PSU according to this list (and pedal topology - you may or may not need isolated voltages for some /groups of/ pedals). Don't hesitate to start new topic in "Building your own stompbox" section for further discussion.

For pedal which requires AC he has no other option, does he?
