Not one to get excited by psus normally but this one is great. All the isolated outs i could possibly need including 12 and 18v, and its small with pedal board illuminating lights.
For 50 bucks its a no brainer!

did yours come with a 2 pin power adaptor? or a 3 pin uk plug?

It does look the tits, but I decided against it as it needs it's own PSU, which almost defeats the object.
But if you are going to get one, WTFAccessories do a deal where if you buy a bundle of Joyo pedals (the cheapest is two pedals for £28!) you can get that PSU for £26 extra, with free tracked shipping. Hows that for a slice of fried gold?
I might have completely misunderstood the website but I don't think it needs it's own PSU, you plug the adaptor into the mains then in to the 18v input on the front of the power supply and off you go.Quote:

What I mean is that you plug in a One Spot-style adaptor (supplied, obviously) rather than a kettle lead. What thermionic said, basically.Quote:

I don't see any reason why the outputs aren't isolated but I'm skeptical. It might just be isolated in groups rather than every output. The size and number and selection of outputs are big pluses though. Also if you bought one you probably wouldn't lose any money on it either, there doesn't seem to be any on the UK market.Quote:
