Power options

Not sure about the talk box, but the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 seems to be the de-facto standard pedalboard power supply round these parts. I've had one for years, and it's never given me any trouble.
 
I had a one spot and it gave me a lot of buzz/noise in my signal. I went back to batteries and I change them out with cheap dollar general batteries before each gig which for me is not a big deal 5-6 times/year. I would not recommend the one spot based on my experience with it but honestly, I'm glad I'm back on batteries. one less thing on my board and I don't have to worry about running a power cable out on stage.
 
This is a pertinent topic for me; oddly enough, I just got on-line to post something similar.

The Pedal Power 2 is $170 and the One Spot would be less than $50. That's a big difference. Who else uses the One Spot and can provide info on how well it works? If the buzz/noise that Threadkiller reports is common, then the Pedal Power would be worth the money.
 
I currently use the godlyke (similar to the one spot) and have no problems with it. I just want something that will power the pedals AND let me get rid of the wall warts for the talkbox and selector.

The selector can run on 9v battery so I'm guessing that'd be easy. I'm not sure of the talkbox though. It's packed in my hard case right now so I can't check it but I think it's AC power.

What can power both AC and DC? Fuel Tank?

Voodoo labs Pedal power 2.

that does both ac and dc?
No - DC power only. Copied from the Sweetwater website:

The Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 is a universal power supply for all battery-operated guitar pedal effects. New features include two outputs that will power Line 6 modeling pedals and two outputs that can have a variable voltage "sag" to emulate dying carbon batteries. Like the original Pedal Power, each of its eight outputs are completely isolated, short circuit protected, regulated and highly filtered. The Pedal Power 2 comes complete with cables, detachable AC power cord, is hand made in the U.S.A. and carries a 5-year warranty.
