The Cyndustries List

You may have a problem with the self-oscillating pedals not putting
out enough voltage. A good preamp or booster could overcome this. For
instance, the Zvex SHO can output up to 8 volts, I believe. Mounting
rails for MOTM are $50, but the power supply will cost you $239.
Dotcom rack frame is $65, but you can get a wall-wart power supply for
$95. If you REALLY prefer MOTM, there are ways to power them from a
Dotcom supply and still save money.
