Haven't heard of that brand but as far as specs go, it looks to be a near replica of the PP2+. I'd google some reviews maybe but seems like a great option especially considering price. That's like 1/3 of the price of a new PP2+, insane!

It's on sale, so that's one thing... and it might be a clone, so that's another... BAM, LOW PRICE

Fame is a brand of the (german) Musicstore in Cologne. So i would not expect to hear sth. from the other side of the pond about it ;)
Axel, i recommended the Harley Benton Power Plant (brand of Thomann: Link) already to you. I know two people who use it and like it. Is built like a tank and works pretty good (i built the board for my former singer with one on it). And it is chaeper than the Fame thing.

forgot about that, thanks

BUT

no sag, not isolated and giving thrice less current :idk: the isolation part might be the biggie for me

I think i'm gonna go with the Fame

isolated outlets, enough current to power up a few demanding digital delays, sag, dip switches to alter the voltages... the extra cash is fine i think, it's not so much

I have the Harley Benton and the guitarist in one of my bands has one too. They've worked great for both of us so far.

Edit: I should add that I've heard some people don't like them so there may be some luck involved.
