That's the idea actually. You will find 0V (GND), +VE and -VE pads on the
stomp box adapter that are there to power other PCBs. Just wire these to the
power inputs on the other boards. Make sure you use a line-lump with enough
power output for the job, and if the regulators get hot, add small heatsinks
to them. I'd guess a 250ma or there abouts line-lump would be adequate, but
measuring the current drawn when you are finished would be the best way to
work that out.
