Joyo JP-02 power supply

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.

"Its own PSU" is the mains adaptor of course, all the main box does is distribute the 18V and step it down to 12V & 9V. I find it hard to believe it has isolated outputs for some reason.

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

Cool I just didn't understand what you meant by 'needs its own PSU' sounded like you thought you needed to buy is separately. What is the downside this way rather than a kettle lead?

As far as I can tell, the thin spindly lead which would be a bit more prone to breaking, and the big old bulky plug. There're probably more technical aspects that are beyond me! 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.

The downside is that the PSU is likely to get separated from your board at some time or other, if it gets misplaced, lost or faulty you're screwed. You don't have to look too hard to find a spare kettle lead in an emergency.
