...are well worth the money. So says I, after buying one today - it's cleaned up my fx chain to no end. My CE-2B used to be unbearably noisy, something I attributed to it's age (and my soldering repairs), and now it's just great :)

Hmm..., not sure I can agree really. I just put together a small pedalboard consisting of a TU2, SD2 and DM2 and I tried to power it with a PSA and a dasi from the TU2. It did not work at all! It wouldn't supply eough power to this combination. I switched to one of my Visual Sound Onespot's and voil� - worked just fine. On my main-pedalboard I rely on Voodoo Lab Pedalpower 2.

Sounds like your PSA adapter must have been broken or something :\

The PSA is able to supply 200mA. This should be more than enough to power the 3 pedals in question.

Well, the PSA works with the all pedals separately but not simultaneously. Weird...

According to the manuals the TU-2 should take 55mA, the SD-2 21mA and the DM-2 only 11mA. Together that makes 87mA. Less than half of what the PSA adapter should be able to deliver.

It does sound like the PSA is broken.

I'd say busted PSA also. I've been using my PSA with my pedalboard: 2 delays, 4 overdrives, 4 modultion FX, wah, autowah, tuner and clean booster and it was fine. I just replaced it with a generic, regulated power supply and it's just as quiet- I know I was putting too much drain on the PSA so sooner or later it was going to give.
