I have a "lunchbox"-style rack unit with several digital delay and digital reverb units mounted in it, except unlike most lunchboxes which provide power to the units, this one is merely a frame, and each unit runs off its own wall wart power supply. I bought the whole thing used and it came with one wall wart adaptor. I picked up a daisy chain power cable from pedalboard.com so that I could run more than one unit simultaneously, but erroneously forgot to check the amp draw of each unit. Turns out that each one runs 15v 400ma, and my power supply was only rated for 15v 600ma, so running two units at the same time fried it pretty quickly.
I have a total of three each of the delay and reverb units that I'd like to be able to run all at once, if possible. They're all 15v DC 400ma. The three reverb units say 8w each, while the delays are 2w each. I'm thinking that a 15v 3 amp AC adaptor would work, but I'm not sure if this is correct, and I'm also not sure how the wattage comes into play.
Can someone direct me to an inexpensive AC adaptor that will power my units without frying them? Thanks.
