Guitar Pedal Board Power
What power supply should I get for this guitar pedalboard setup? And how do we connect it all up?
my brother is creating his pedal board, he has a boss tuner and a RAT distortion so far, he is looking into getting more boss and possibly a EHX big muff sometime soon. What power supply do we need to power this pedalboard? We can only afford something less than £65. He has a VOX Valvetronix VT30 amp.
So along with what power supply do we use. How do we connect everything up?
Here, this is excellent for powering your pedals, especially on a budget. There is something called the DC Brick also, but its much more expensive and wont power as many things. The one spot comes with a few adapters too. I use it and have never had a problem.

Which method of guitar distortion should I use?
Sorry for pretty much posting this question. But now I’ve learned a couple new things. I haven’t actually gotten an actual marshall stack but am heavily leaning towards it. I’m wondering could a preamp pedal like a (ibanez tube king) act the same way as amp distortion? I really don’t want to use the FX loop cause then I’m going to have to get another pair of cables from my pedal board. So I’m going at two different methods. Go with the marshall and use effects for modulation only. Or rely tone on pedals. If the power amp pedals and amp distortion is similar i’m going to go with pedals. Thanks.
Some professionals use preamp distortion, some use a nice pedal they like and some use both. There isn’t one that’s better than the other. You should experiment and find a sound that suits your style of playing.
Keep in mind, adding a single good piece of equipment to your setup will not magically make it sound like a professional caliber setup. A tubescreamer going through a crappy entry-level guitar head will not do it justice. Similarly, a bad pedal going through a great head would be pointless. The power amp section makes a BIG difference when it comes to tone…do not underestimate its importance.
I think it’s important to save up and get a nice head. A good Marshall to get is the JCM 2000 Dual Super Lead. Very versatile. After that you can see how you like the sound and then experiment with different pedals.
