I wil vouch for Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2. Fantastic unit, so many options for different voltages/ampeges (even a setting to simulate a partly used 9v battery), center positive + negative cables, individually isolated outputs, and is designed to mount on the underside of a Pedal Train Pedalboard but can be used on any. It's never let me down, little pricey but you get what you pay for.

Hi there, as Replicant has already said, you will find it easier to move to electric if you have played acoustic for a while due to the extra strength needed to hold acoustic chords and the higher action of the guitar (distance between the strings and the neck). Saying that I always teach newcomers to the guitar on electric first as I don't want them put off by the difficulty of acoustic. As far as Spanish/Flamenco guitars go they are sort of in a different category altogether as they are better for classical or fingerstyle players. Strumming them isn't quite the same as a regular steel string acoustic and although you see lots of school kids learning on them, ironically they usually have the highest action of them all! But yes the nylon strings mean they are much easier on the fingers to start with. If you're getting pain, stop and come back later. Little and often is the key. The best thing is to mix and match guitars, and keep having fun with it! If you would like to enquire about guitar tuition, or know someone who might do, give me a shout on the links below Cheers Jack
