DQ = dumb question...or maybe I'm just lazy?
Here's the thing:
I just got my TU-2, and I also have a PSM-5 (neither of which I've used yet). Getting ready to build a pedal board. It seems pretty obvious to me that I can't just power one of them from a psa adaptor, use that to power the other, and then branch off a bunch of stuff from both of them, but...
If I have both on them on adaptors is there going to be any crazy problems if I don't plug them into the same circuit or when hooking up the rest of the pedals?

I run 2 bcb-6 pedalboards TU-2 powers one PSM-5 powers the other. They are interconnected via the volume and wah pedals. I use three psa 120's one for each pedal board and one for the wah. Works great.

Thanks, pedals. So you mean the two bcb-6's actually function as one board? Sounds cool!

This is the set up The PSM-5 will control all 12 pedals:

bcb-6 #1
psm-5 {send}to cs-3. {amp}to tu-2
geb-7 from wah pedal
AC-2
ph-2
hf-2
ce-2 to PSM-5{return}


bcb-6 #2
bd-2 from volume pedal
os-2
hm-2
ds-1 to wah
cs-3 from PSM-5{send}. to volume pedal
tu-2 from PSM-5{amp}. to amp

I also have a bcb-3 with tremolo delay and reverb but it is independant of the main board. I put it in the effects loop if I am only using one amp. And of course the distortions and overdrives get changed quite a bit,I have a few spares.

Thanks again for the detailed info p4pv - you are really helping this newB out!

So, about to try to set up my very first pedal board (without the board, at this point), so if I take a page from your book, I would try this:

psm-5 {send}to DOD Milk Box Compressor
psm-5 {amp}to tu-2 to amp
Morley Power Wah Boost
SD-1
DF-2
Ibanez PH-7 phaser
Small Stone phaser
BF-2
Electric Mistress flanger
Applause super chorus
to PSM-5{return}

That look about right?


bcb-6 #2
bd-2 from volume pedal
os-2
hm-2
ds-1 to wah
cs-3 from PSM-5{send}. to volume pedal
tu-2 from PSM-5{amp}. to amp
