Hi, I have bought a used Boss DD3 and need a power supply. It eats 9 volt batteries like crazy. What should I get.

As you have discovered, digital effects suck power big time. Any regulated 9 volt power supply with the Boss-style tip should work fine. I use both the Boss PSA-120T and the Ibanez AC-109, and they both work well for powering Boss digital delays. Hope this helps.

One Spot. Then you can power multiple pedals.

Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate the help.

I use a One-Spot with my DD-2 with no issues. Sounds the same as with the Boss PSA or even the ASA adapter. If you have any other pedals, or you WANT any other pedals, the One-Spot quickly becomes the economical choice.

I use a 1-Spot into my Boss TU-2 tuner, (which has POWER IN/OUT jacks) and daisy chain to 3-4 other effects, ending with my DD-3

I use the one spot, all good.
