Just curious, but what pedals are running off of 3.3v & 5v?
Ibanez, Zoom, Boss, Digitech, Morley = 9v
MXR = 18v
T.C. Electronics = 12v

I don't have anything running at 3.3v (that is just one of the voltages the step down converter can make, it also makes 15V, but puts out 2 different voltages at 3A each along with a side chain of 12V 1A, the Toroidal puts out 9V AC at 3A per side(X2), so that's 4 different voltages at a total of 10A that can be drawn.
One of my Midi base pedals (footar) runs off 5.5V as well as some experimental Xbee midi/stuff.

BTW a Spot One or Godlyke 3-5A digital switching power supply is $35. The Spot One will run 9 pedals.
I could not find that model on Godlykes page, the highest model they have listed is the PA-9D which powers up to 11 devices (9v DC ONLY) up to 2A,(spot one was even lower 1700ma) my 9V DC needs alone were above that, it's also a wall wart and according to the manual it is not recommended to plug it into the same outlet strip as an amp (hum/ground noise issues), I would need two SpoT ONe's just to fill my 9V DC needs leaving me needing a 12V DC,5.5V DC and 9V AC sources.
I have a lot of voltage sensitive and highly expensive gear here(at least to me it was) it doesn't seem practical to have them be supplied by a single switching supply (even just for 9V DC) without them individually being protected from spikes and surges (hence the fuses for each device), that way if any one device starts drawing too much current it blows the fuse rather than overloading the power supply and shutting down and possibly short circuiting everything being supplied.
plus! I had an empty space in one of my racks!!! that is now filled...tee hee
