I know its made in China but do you think there is a huge difference between these 40 dollar isolated power supplies and 200 dollar ones. Ive been needing a power supply for a while but everytime i get 200 bucks in my paypal to get one i realize i could get another sweet pedal with 200 dollars and ditch the power supply. I know i need one. Just don't want to fuck up all my pedals with a cheap supply. Heres a link on one on a couple on the Ebay.

Personally I think it's worth it. People here made the suggestion when I was kvetching about wall warts so I picked up a PP2 and it's made a huge difference. It's reduced hum, and made wiring way easier. But it's also knowing that I ran the ran the risk of blowing pedals up and I'd have no one to blame but myself because I am a cheap mofo....

I'd go ahead and spring for a reputable supply, Voodoo Labs, CIOKS, T-Rex, etc, etc. There's a reason those supples only cost $40, one of those "get what you pay for" situations. As much as people are willing to drop on pedals makes it surprising to see how little they wanna spend on a proper supply to power said pedals.

I've got that Joyo supply and I'm totally satisfied.
I've had Joyo pedals and Caline pedals and I'd say that Joyo stuff tends to be higher quality.

Got the Joyo. I found it on Amazon for $58 bucks free shipping. I had a $25 gift card from xmas so like 30 bucks. Coolness.
Man why am i just hearing about Mogwai. I don't understand how something so fucking amazing could be hiding from me for so long. Its like discovering Radiohead after 15 years or something. Its ridiculous and awesome.

I¨ve heard some weird stuff about that one like that judging from the way it's put together it might be just a glorified daisychain...
well filtered, but still
let us know what it¨s like, please

it could save me space for one more pedal actually

Im liking the Joyo. Its much more quite than my daisy chain. Really small too. No complaints so far. The lights are nifty too.

So this a thread change but I didn't want to make a new one.
I have a powersupply problem. I am going to a pedaltrain metro 16. Way smaller than what I'm using now and no room for my pedal power 2+. I was planning on running tuner, boost, distortion, modulation, delay, and reverb. One of each and I'll swap out real quick and easy as I like. I've realized as long as I have those options I'm totally happy. Seems to work with a 1spot except for the delay. Too much draw I'm 99% sure. Should I just use 2? Or get a Volto? Or something totally different?

I have a PP2+ and an ISO 5, been totally happy with both of em. I don't think this an area in which one needs to go nuts , but I think it's best to avoid the cheapies.

Yeah I'm totally happy with my pp2 except that it won't fit. I think I can easily live without delay. I hardly use it...

I'm getting ready to buy a new pedalboard, and I want to power it with the new Dunlop Iso Brick. I need the 18v 250ma outlet for my Sixties Vibe, and I love the fact there are 9 other outlets and two with sag control. Looks like everything I need.
