I use a 1Spot Pro CS6 and daisy chain a bunch of pedals off of the various output channels.  I have not had problems with noise in doing so.   

Maybe I'm naive about this, but I don't hear any difference when I'm using dedicated (eg, 1 pedal per power wart) vs the 1Spot. 

Possibly a solution in search of a problem?

Most pedals would draw as little as 10 mA up to maybe 200 mA.
A 10ma draw thru that 100Ω would drop the voltage down to 8V for the pedal. OK for a lot of pedals. But...

A 200ma draw through a 100Ω would cause a 20V drop across the 100Ω. But wait! You done run into the wall. A 9V battery can only push 90mA through a 100Ω and that leaves zero volts for your pedal. Better rethink this.

I built this simple power supply that handled nine pedals with no isolation resistors.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
