My ultimate pedal board supply.

Here's the plan:

I will buy one "bigass" supply, something like a 18V, 1000mA unit. It will be connected to the pedal's (the "power brick" i planning) input.

The box will have several outputs, like 6 pieces of 9V out, 2 pieces of 12V out, and one 18V out.

After the power enters the pedal, it will be filtered through a Beavis style power filter.

The plan is that i will use voltage regulators for creating different voltages, like 78L09s and 78L12s. Will they add noise to the signal? Will this work?

Use a filter+regulator+filter for each output. I have a similar power distribution system on my pedalboard, only a 12V input, 4x9V output and 1x12V output.

If I would build the Ultimate PS it would involve this:

This way you have galvanically separated secondaries, which is always good to avoid ground loops, hum etc...
