So I got my new Pedaltrain Novo 32. I have my Voodoo Lab PP2+ I've been using for several years but now I find I need more. I've been daisy chaining a few pedals for a little while. So what I'm considering are the following options.
1. Keep the PP2 and add a PP4x4 to give me a total of 16 outlets(more than enough) with a total of 6 of them being 250 ma or greater. Downside: No 12V options I might need for the Mooer Radar. About $190 out of Pocket but I'll have 16 outlets.

2. Sell the PP2 (probably $100) and buy a PP Mondo. 12 outlets. 6 outlets of 250 -400 ma with 12v options.
About $150 out of pocket but only 12 outlets. I might still need to daisy chain a couple.

3. Keep the PP2 and add a 1 Spot Pro CS12. Twelve outlets but really only 9 for my needs. So that would give me 17 outlets(more than enough) Two 18v only outs are not needed and one AC out is definitely not needed. So 5 100ma outs and 4 outs of 250 and 500ma.
About $180 out of pocket.

4. Keep the PP2 and add the Friedman Power grid. Haven't found much info or user reviews on this other than a video by the bald guy with the long video reviews. Different design, lighter, Ten 9v 350ma outlets giving me a total of 18 outlets(way more than enough). No 12v options.
About $220 out of pocket but 18 total outlets.

I'm leaning towards number 2 since it's the least money out of pocket and honestly can really do it all. I can daisy chain a few things like my bypass looper, tuner and overdrive and probably leave a pedal or two off the board. In the end, I'm setting up the board to run in front of my dirty amp with delays in the loop, run everything in front of a clean pedal platform amp or even power amp or effects return of another amp as well as eventually having the Mooer Radar and Micro DI so I can run straight from the board to my computer or even FOH (would require a band :doh: , so unlikely :lol: :LOL: )

What do you think????? Am I forgetting some options?
 
Iso Brick has ten outputs if that would work for you.

two 9V outputs at 100mA, two 9V outputs at 300mA, two 9V outputs at 450mA, two 18V outputs at 250mA, and two variable outputs adjustable from 6V to 15V at 250mA.

Being picky here, but I don’t like the separate wall wart it uses. I actually have one that I’m selling.
 
You can get 11 9V outlets from the 1spot CS12 by using the Truetone V189 cable, which drops the 18V to 9V. Then there’s enough current with the 500mA and 250mA outlets to split your way up to powering many many pedals. Bonus on the CS12 is it includes mounting hardware specifically for PedalTrain boards. They posted a nice instruction video on YouTube for how to mount it (slip a 9V battery in while drilling the holes so it lines up correctly). I’m running a CS12 with a Novo24 and it fits well and powers everything for this size board at least.
 
Caline and Joyo make some cheap ones if I remember correctly.
