If you're good with electronics, research a simple power supply made from a 7809 power regulator. I built a rather simple version with couple filter caps and it produces a rock-solid 9v for 4 pedals. I wired up a few of the 9v battery terminals to the +/- and hooked right onto the battery clips of the pedals ... worked great.
Here's a page which explains power supply design with the 78xx ICs in some detail:
http://home.att.net/~eliel/power_supply.htm
The only trick with this is that most of these supplies will introduce a small amount of switching noise. For example, my DOD chorus pedal produces a lot of noise on ANY AC adaptor so I always run it on battery yet my DOD digital delay runs great on any relatively regulated 9v DC. go fig.
Could also try an unregulated design with just a 9vAC transformer, diode recitifers, filtering and a load made up of a LED and resistor (to see the power on). Might still be a bit of noise ... unsure though if different rectifiers would exhibit less or more noise.
eh, power supply design is an entirely differnt thread.
Good luck, though.

Just buy a good power supply.
The more amp, the more pedals you can power.
I think a boss OD is rated 300mA.
If you buy a power supply rated 1 A (that is 1000mA), you can power up to 3 pedals (300mA x 3 = 900 mA < 1000mA).Be ready for my new amp "III OSIS" produced by H^3 in stores soon [that was funny in 2006]
