BassAdder60 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I’m looking for a pedal board power supply rated at 500mA on at least one output isolated outputs for say 4 pedals tops Less than £100 if possible and a quiet supply too Will be going on a Metro 20 board I saw the Fender one ( engine room ) but it’s out of stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobothy Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) … I’d get a used Cioks Expander 4 and use a 1 Spot 9V PSU. I think it’d give it enough power and has the added benefit of being able to be run off USB C if needed. Make sure it’s version 1.1 onwards though. https://cioks.com/power-supplies/future-power-generation/cioks-4-expander/ Edited June 13, 2023 by jimbobothy Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 A year ago I paid just over £40 for a TGI powerbox. Powered by an off-board wall wart, has one 18V, two 12V and multiple low and high current 9V isolated outputs and includes a 9V reverse polarity lead. Appears noiseless to me. Brilliant little bit of kit, even if it isn't from a big name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfrasho Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 The Harley benton range from THomann are great. I used to Junior power one years ago which was great, although wouldn't suit your needs. I now use a Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-1AC. Never had an issue. It's reasonably low profile, and uses a kettle plus which is a benefit in my opinion. 5 outputs at 500ma, and if you need more you can just daisy chain another one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Diago power supplies are brilliant. I've had mine for over ten years now and still going strong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyt Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 For a Metro 20, you can’t go wrong with the Truetone CS6 as it can mount underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a Harley Benton and it’s working great though. The price is slightly high. Apart from the reputation and quality, the main reason I bought it, was because it was about the only unit with 6 outputs and fitted underneath a Metro board. It’ll probably do me for life now (hopefully). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRayBoy42 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 +1 for Harley Benton. I've got the ISO-5 under my small board and it's the bees knees. £42 brand new! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Another vote for the Harley Benton Powerplant. I am using the ISO-5 and it works a treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 The Harley Benton can't cope with the HX Stomp plus other pedals - get a motorboat sound from it. I've been unsuccessful with all otherwise good low-cost isolated supplies when trying to power the HX Stomp - the (obsolete) Vitoos ISO-8 doesn't manage to power up, even with current doubling, the Donner DP-2 hums, and the Kokko is noisy. My solution is to run a second 5.5/2.5mm DC extension alongside the 5.5/2.1mm DC extension which is cabletied to the jack-jack lead running from the HX Stomp output to the amp.

Moose Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I am not familiar with the HX Stomp but I did own an older LIne6 pedal and it was powered by a 9V AC adapter. Most pedals require a 9V DC adapter - which is what the HB supplies. If this is the case with the HX Stomp then there is no power supply that I am aware of that can supply both AC and DC.

The HX Stomp requires 9v dc but over an amp, I could power one of a vitos 8 but sometimes it just died, so I kept the original PSU around for times when it didn't work. But now I have the dwarf and that runs off a single output, so all good. However, I think the HB rocketboard power supplies provide enough power for one.

It's 9V DC but needs more than 500mA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
