is the AT2020 mic good enough to do rough demos with, or is there something much better for slightly more money?

Finally getting serious about upgrading from a One Spot daisy chain and the odd separate supply to an isolated power brick. My board is 17” x 12.5”, so maybe 10 pedals at the outside, but typically 7 if the PitchFactor is involved, which is often. I have some 18v and a 12v along with all the 9v, and I could easily have half the board drawing above 150 mA. Allowing that I could have to do a little daisy chaining with 8 or more, I’m still settling in towards the Cioks DC-7 because of its voltage flexibility and current capacity.

Is there a something else I should be considering instead?

I ordered 2nd voodoo pedal power plus 2 today [this is my 2nd or 3rd of these, I like them] I've been using a 1spot on the new board I've been mucking with and the noise issue is a issue.. I'm having to use a battery in my boost because the the noise from the 1spot...

I'm gassing for a Demo Tape fuzz, and kicking myself for not buying used ones that were selling at half price.

I don't want a clone. I want that exact fuzz. I think cloners can take liberties ("close enough") sometimes.

There's a demo (LOL) of the Demo Tape where it's being played through an amp, and also a direct recording (no amp, I guess just a good interface into a computer). The direct input sound is amazing (at least on that demo), better than the sound through an amp (which is a little blurry in comparison). Direct input, it sounds like Fu Manchu "In Search Of..." fuzz, which is raw and urgent AF.

TL;DR - Demo Tape fuzz seems like a killer fuzz for home recording, direct input. Yes?

I wrote a post here (http://ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=11555&start=44760#p1380925 just a couple days ago about the true tone 1spot Cs12 brick, so I definitely recommend it. Otherwise the DC7 seems a good choice, even more now that it's expandable with the CIOKS 4 or 8.

I saw that thread, and I had looked hard at the CS supplies. I could make a CS12 work and save some money. I could maybe even get by with a CS6. But I do like the 4/8 expansion options because I do think of adding a board (or more) with just one cord to wall AC. The whole point is simplifying the cables and connections, right?

[Dowi]

Totally understand you. I was thinking about changing power supply because I don't want more than 1 power cable around, but then I powered 19 pedals with the 1spot and I thought: am i really gonna need more than this? 19 is already too much.

That being said, if you have a good amount of digital pedals, I ll go with the Cioks option.

Have and keep wanting to have more. Focusing on a power supply first is like eating the lima beans before getting desert. It’s been a solid reason to pedge on some stuff I was really close on. For example, I passed on a steal on an Eventide Rose in part because of its current requirements.

i see it more as the spoon to the desert, sure you could try not having the spoon but it would get messy and get all over you shirt.

and the other part is because it's the ugliest pedal ever, right?

As was established previously when discussing Source Audio SoundBlocks-series pedal and my willingness to use them, I obviously must be blind.

I think it may be possible to remove the faceplate of the Rose for etching or painting.

I found these two on OfferUp

It’s nothing special but maybe it’s ok to invest to sell later?
Says it has a hum. What do you guys think it is? Also is that a good price. It’s tube.

https://offerup.co/NQ2h0dD2n6
It’s a white grape sparkle Yamaha drum set. Said he’d go down to 500. What do you guys think. He said he spent almost 2000 on it. I’m not a drummer so I’m not sure.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

[K2000]

Are there any filter pedals that have a random or semi- random function? (fake random is okay)

I want like an auto-wah I guess, but with less predictability.

[tremolo3]

Zoom MS70/MS50
Eventide Pitchfactor/H9
Boss DD500/MD500
Any filter pedal with exp input + EHX 8step

[Inconuucl]

Doesn't the EQD filter do that too? I forget.
