Get yourself a DC Brick TGS.

+1 on the Brick. Been using one for years and have never looked back.

Another option is the one made by VooDoo labs. It has an option to deliver slightly less than 9 volts ( I think it's 8.8V or so) to your pedals. There are some people who feel that an overdrive or distortion pedal sounds better when the battery is almost dead or dying. Another school of though say they sound better with slightly more voltage like 9.6V or so. can't remember who sells the one with the higher voltage option. I don't concern myself with these nuances. The DC Brick is a great supply.

You may well not need to shell out on some super expensive power supply. As long as you've got the current draw of the pedals covered theres absolutely no need.

Just make sure you have good clearance and that theres nothing physicaly impeding the operation of your PSU.

What does the onespot give 17/1800ma? You're going to power more than 4 pedals with that on average, probably five. It may be worth taking a look at your pedals and seeing how much current they draw. Most are around 300 ma each. However when you go above the PSU's capabilities you can get noise problems. They usualy manifest emselves as hum. But you never know, so check both. So when daisy chaining a power supply, add all your pedals current draw (ma ratings) and make sure they are less than the PSU will supply.

I run a PSU that gives 3000ma and still run 3 effects off batteries on a board of eleven pedals. It's well within the limits of the PSU and as long as I dont use the same wall socket, is fairly silent. I make sure I'm under my PSU's ma rating. Battery powering the first pedal in my board isn't a problem as it always gets unplugged.

Look at all the options available before you open the amp.
