As part of my standard guitar rig, I use both an RG-16 and an Effect Gizmo... albeit not to their full potential currently since I downsized the rig. Just wondering if anyone else uses both, how you deal with powering them, and anything else really I actually use my Effect Gizmo as an input selector currently (I have loop 1 as a mute, 2 and 3 as my wireless receivers and 4 as a cable input, linked to the front input on the RG-16) as it was cheaper and easier than buying a separate one.
I've managed to power both from my Tonebone modded Burkey Flatliner Pro power supply (it powers everything in my rig) so technically my Effect Gizmo is only getting 400mA, although I think it's getting more due to my Mini Line Mixer only drawing 150mA, not 200, and my pedals maybe drawing 20mA from their supply - it seems to balance the loads arbitarily as long as the total doesn't exceed 1.6A. The RG-16 is powered by the 9VAC outlet, and then the Mastermind is powered from the 15V output. Works well for me - much less hassle than dealing with multiple power supplies, as well as much lighter!
