Just found this link on the banner ad at the bottom of ILF...never heard of these power supplies before, but they seem really well built and affordable. Don't be fooled by the crappy website, check them out.

This indeed.
It seems pretty legit, and it doesn't hurt that it looks pretty cool too.

could certainly be relevant to my interests, but i don't believe for a New York minute that they're "assembled in the USA" unless that means putting them into mailing containers.

I know someone here has the blue power 12, forget who right now. The 12 was also $50 cheaper a couple of weeks ago, and apparently on their ebay page they go down more than that sometimes.

Yeah anytime the word "assembled" is employed rather than "made," "built," "crafted," etc it basically means a minimal amount of assembly took place stateside. They probably get their boards from China fully populated and just put them in the enclosures over here (if that...).
Really, I'm cool with them being 100% Chinese as long as they are isolated (which they apparently are) and as long as the workmanship is decent (inconsistent qc being the main concern with items made in China). Something makes me want to trust these guys more than the artec and biyang power supplies I've been eyeballing though...

I've been eye ballin them. Heard of a price fluctuation but I think people mistook the different models. I dunno. Either way the ten is a steal and the guarantee is a good reason to jump.

agreed. at their price point, i didn't expect anything other than Chinese manufacture. but if it's properly isolated, doesn't blow up/blow shit up, and isn't made in a Communist labor camp i'm interested...i certainly need an power supply with ten isolated outputs.

I have the 12 pack and I watched the price flux From $169 down to $99 plus shipping. I snagged it at $99. I know it was the same type (12 pack) because I had it on my "watch" list on Ebay.
Exceptionally good for $99, Real good for $169. Don't expect to shove it under a PT type board, mine is 4 inches tall. The only issue that I have with it is the 150mA on the 9V outlets won't run my TimeLine. If I plu theg TL into one of the adjustable outlets and turn it up to about 11v it almost works, but then the TL will reboot, so I stopped doin that. I am oing to email the dude that sells them and ask if he thinks it is cool to make a cord w/double inputs and one output.

I actually emailed him about the prices a little while ago. Apparently the 12 pack with the lights is going to be $169 from now on, and he's started making one without that will be $119.

They seem to be pretty good deals, sadly the blue power 10 would take up just too much room on my pedalboard being that I'd have to fit the power supply and the separate transformer on there.

Their website seems to be "assembled" in 1998.
I'm vrrry intrrstd in the 10 pack, though. Just the addition of an on/off switch is an upgrade from the Pedal Power in my mind.

Agreed, its like their graphics were designed by the same guy who built their website. If they just use standard hammond-type metal boxes though, they could be fun to refinish.
They also seem open to doing custom stuff which seems cool.

I actually like the look of them.
I mean, anything's better than the Voodoo Labs logo.

Although I do like the subtle "print" idea.

I do basic graphic design and DTP for several small businesses at my job and I'll never cease to be amazed by people's bad taste.
