Compact 9V and 12V power supply recommendation please

[Clarky]

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

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?

That looks like a great option! Many thanks for the suggestion

I aim to please   I use one on my board to power a 12V pedal and it works a treat.

Cioks DC7 would also do the job.

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.

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,

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.

Cioks 4 Eventide? 
 

I’m keen on this one as available here in Aotearoa from a reliable supplier

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.

If you convert 9 to 12v, you reduce the available current pro rata. So you would need over 650mA from the 9V supply.
