I'm building a new pedal board using a Pedaltrain 2 as the foundation. I keep telling myself that I don't want to go any bigger than this as I'm trying to keep the rig as simple as possible. Space is extremely limited. What are the lowest profile power plugs for pedals? The plugs that come with the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power seem very high.

Another idea is to run the 9v adapter out of the pedal. Is this possible on Boss style pedals?
 
Sorry, I think my question was unclear. I don't need a smaller power supply as the PP2 mounts under the Pedaltrain. I'm talking about the actual power cable that plugs into each pedal. Space is so tight I want to find very small low profile power plugs.
 
Anyone use the 9v pedal internal connection into a power supply for Boss pedals?

You could wire them directly using the battery power wires.

Cut off the PS connector coming from the PS, then connect/solder/shrink tube the PS wire to the above 9V clip wires, then connect that clip to the pedal's 9V clip.
That makes it simple to take off, no cutting of the stock connector, and then no external power wires or connectors.
Then drill right under the battery compartment to feed the power wire through back to the PS.

You would have to run the pedals without their battery covers, but I'm sure you can use electrical tape for that.

If you're feeling real tech like, then you can desolder the 9V pedal connector and attach the power wire directly.
But, that's a delicate job and reversing would suck.
