power supply & designing a pedalboard for specific pedals

[Kelly 2112]

I need to design a pedalboard. I have a Strymon Timeline, Strymon Mobius, Cantrell Wah, Bogner Ecstasy Red Distortion Pedal, Demeter Reverbulator (analog;real spring reverb), Korg Pitchblack tuner. IS the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+ the right choice for powering these pedals ? I seem to see a lot of mention about the 2+ compatibility with Boss and Line6....but what about the ones I use? Will the 2+ power all of those and compatible for hookup? Also, what are the right cables for absolutely the lowest undesired noise and hum? Also, what is a good quality brand and model of a large angular pedalboard with hardshell case?

I'm going to refer you to this page on Strymon's web site, which has all the information you need regarding powering the Time Line and Mobius. Apparently each of these pedals needs a Voodoo Lab Power Doubler cable which, in turn, will each require two power output connections on the PP2+.

Also, here is a link to a thread on The Gear Page regarding powering a Demeter Reverbulator, which apparently also needs a Power Doubler cable.

With those three pedals taking up six of the 2+'s power output jacks, you're going to be one connector short when it comes to powering your remaining three pedals, unless you use a splitter or daisy chain power cable to run them. Highly possible you might run into problems with any pedals you may choose to add to your board in the future.

Regarding cables, there are plenty of low noise cable options available, so I'd advise doing a little Internet research and going with what best fits into your budget. Personally, I've been using George L cables for years. As with just about any other cable, the only only way a George L Cable can fail is if you don't assemble it properly.

Same deal with pedal boards; lots of options available so it all depends on your budget, but it sounds to me like what you're looking for is a Pedaltrain.

I'd suggest looking to a Pedal Power 4x4 for powering this setup since it has more high current outputs to cover your Strymon pedals. Because the Demeter requires 24V, you would need to use a Voltage Doubler connected to the two 12V outputs. This will leave you with 4 regular outputs left for powering other 9v battery operated pedals.

I hope that helps!
