Hi there,
recently just bought myself the Pedal Power 2 Plus and im just wondering if it would be able to power all of my pedals. I currently own 8 pedals: EHX MEMORY MAN, EHX CATHEDRAL, BOSS DD-5, BOSS CE-5, EHX METAL MUFF, DIGITECH WHAMMY, DUNLOP CRYBABY and a BOSS TU-3 chromatic tuner. Would there be any problems with powering them all? Also could i add on a daisy chain so i could add more pedals in the future?

Yes, you can daisy chain, as long as you do not exceed the current limit per outlet. VL sells a special splitter that has a ground disconnect on one end, which potentially could alleviate ground loops in certain situations, although I have also used standard 1-2 and 1-3 splitters I've bought from Ebay.
Some pedals can be finicky when sharing power on a daisy chain, so you may have to switch things around to find the right combo. I have 3 Gig Rig "Virtual Batteries" which is in itself an isolation transformer. I use on one of the splits of each of 3 1-2 splitter, so I am powering 11 pedals on isolated circuits, plus my A/B switcher, which only needs power to the LED, so that's just on a regular 1-2 splitter. So 12 pedals total on a single PPII.
