MarkG3 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Any ideas? Mine has just died so need another one. Looking for one with at least 9 pedals being plugged into it. I dont mean the plug where the wire daisy chains, I mean where all your pedals plug into a power box. I've seen a lot of the same power boxes on ebay but a bit wary about them Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG3 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Also want it with a UK plug, my last one had to have an adaptor on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njr911 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I have a Harley Benton Junior spare ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 For £30 the box models will just be a daisy chain in the box. They won't have isolated outputs. Can be fine if your pedals aren't noisy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG3 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Ah ok I didn't know that. I would say I would go for it but need more than 5 points, but looks like HB do one for £33 with more power points. Thank you though! https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_powerplant.htm Edited July 13, 2016 by MarkG3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Note the difference between the HB powerplant Junior and the HB powerplant, is that the former, cheaper one is isolated outputs, and the bigger one isn't. That might not be of an issue for you but I had to get the junior to connect two digital effects without noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1468422012' post='3090832'] For £30 the box models will just be a daisy chain in the box.

The descriptions can be 'tricky' (as in misleading) as sometimes a supply is described by the seller as 'isolated'. But often the outputs aren't isolated in the proper sense of being galvanically isolated from each other. But the outputs may have individual short circuit / overload protection ie if one output is short circuited or overloaded that output will drop but the others remain okay. For good noise immunity you need proper isolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefrash Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Hb junior is the only one i found that was isolated outputs... it's only 5 (Or 6 maybe ... can't remember ) though. Saying that... you can easily daisy chain a few of your less noisy pedals to make it up to your 8. Doubt you'll find what your wanting for less than 30 quid.

TommyK Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 What about this? :[url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Isolated-Power-Supply-Output-for-9V-12V-18V-Guitar-Effect-Pedal-Board-UK-Plug-/291671000914?hash=item43e8f24752:g:93IAAOSwzhVWqDf7"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Isolated-Power-Supply-Output-for-9V-12V-18V-Guitar-Effect-Pedal-Board-UK-Plug-/291671000914?hash=item43e8f24752:g:93IAAOSwzhVWqDf7[/url] I've been eyeing it... Thinking its probably too good to be true, could always send it back if it is i guess... you try it first and let me know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG3 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 My pedals aren't really that noisy, the one that broke wasn't isolated, but all plugged into the same box. I have seen those ones on eBay just not sure if I should get that or the Harley benton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I just succumbed and bought one. I'll let ye know when it arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panamonte Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I've had one of these on my pedal board since April 2014. Works fine, no issues, not noisy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000NVU9GG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I have used the HB Powerplant for a few years now and haven't found it to be noisey at all, even for recording, have run upto 6 pedals only on it. The only drawback is that it is pretty heavy and a brick of a thing. I also have something like Panamonte has linked to but that runs 5, 9v and 5, 18v. It's a lot lighter and been reliable as well.

MarkG3 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Nice thanks. Any news TommyK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painy Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) I've used one of the Caline PSUs from eBay for about a year now and it's been pretty good and fairly quiet until a couple of weeks ago when I started getting a really loud hum. I think it may actually be a fault with the power pack itself but seeing as I've just down-scaled my board to just tuner/compressor/overdrive/octaver/clean boost recently, I'm probably just gonna get one of the Harley Benton Junior units to replace it.

Yep it works just fine and silent so far at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azfatboy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 That power supply looks a LOT like the Donner DP-2 that I selected for my pedalboard. It was $50US, but has 6 100mA 9V ports, 2 500mA 9V ports, as well as a 12V and 18V port (both at 500mA). I am using all the ports except the 18V to full effect. For me, it had better specs than the hyped products (VL especially) and at a fraction of the cost. All I had to give up was "true" isolation, which my pedals don't seem to need anyway.
