Clarky Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Hi I have the small TRex Fuel Tank power supply on my compact pedal board (Pedaltrain Metro, I think). Until now it's been great as each of my pedals (tuner, fuzz, chorus, Sansamp) run off 9V. However, I have just bought a tube preamp DI which will replace the Sansamp and needs 12V/500mA. So my question is: what would you recommend as a compact and/or low profile, reliable power supply for (say) up to 5 9V pedals and one 12V high draw pedal? Preferably not too spendy! Thank you in advance Quote
franzbassist Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Not sure what the available power from the TRex is but could you just add a Gigrig supa-nova to convert a 9v supply to 12v? Quote

Al Krow Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Sounds like you're sorted, but worth mentioning that Harley Benton do a very compact range which are not spendy. Their Iso2 Pro looks like it also matches your spec. 1 1 Quote

I think the HB is a rebadged Vitoos who also make Fender's various power supplies I think I want another pedal board so have been doing some reading, Quote
tayste_2000 Posted Wednesday at 01:40 Posted Wednesday at 01:40 (edited) Cioks 4 would be my choice Just use a daisy chain cable on one of the outputs. But this is by far my favourite power supply. Edited Wednesday at 01:41 by tayste_2000 Quote

tayste_2000 Posted yesterday at 00:37 Posted yesterday at 00:37 I think they’re the same, Cioks do one and then there is the light grey Eventide branded model. I have 2 Cioks 4’s, I tend to power them with usb c and then power the second off one of the outs on the first but you can power it with literally any old adaptor you have lying around. 1 Quote
