Good power supply
A really good power supply, but was to big for me when I sold my pedals and my pedalboard.

Great power supply
Compact and beautiful. Solved some of the unwanted noise and effects deviations I had with my previous non-isolated supply. Not sure why my delay pedal interacted with this power supply generating other noise. But I believe it can be fixed by better arranging the cables.
well worth every penny
one of the most intuitive pieces I lay claim to. Isolated power (and voltage) to fit virtually every piece you own. The only drawback is that all power pins come in one size but beside that, super solid investment.

Bad
Went up in smoke 45 days after purchase under normal use.

Best Power Supply I've ever used.
Now when it comes to power supplies, what is there really to say? Does it provide power and is it reliable? Yes and yes. But to me, the big selling point to this one is not only does it have 9v and 18v plugs, but you can also adjust the wattage of each level. Why would you want to do that? Have you ever played a Big Muff or a ProCo Rat with a battery that's dying? Well to get that sound, you can just turn down the voltage to get something similar. Considering this has 8 9v slots on top of the volt adjusting, it justifies the price to me. Not to shabby at all for $150 brand new. You won't be disappointed.

Details
Description
The MXR Iso-Brick Power Supply is small and light with tons of quiet, noise-free DC power on tap ready to run a wide range of pedal types without crowding or weighing down your pedalboard.
Each of the Iso-Brick Power Supply’s 10 outputs is fully isolated, eliminating gig-ending ground loop noise. Whether analog or digital, positive or negative ground, this power box has you covered. The MXR team broke down these 10 outputs to accommodate a variety of voltage and current requirements: two 9V outputs at 100mA, two 9V outputs at 300mA, two 9V outputs at 450mA, two 18V outputs at 250mA, and two variable outputs adjustable from 6V to 15V at 250mA. The two variable outputs can be used to emulate voltage “sag,” a drained battery effect sought by many vintage tonechasers. ?
On top of all that, the Iso-Brick Power Supply comes in a small, lightweight housing that’s built like a tank. Features power on/off and connection status LEDs. Put this little box on your pedalboard to make sure it runs reliably and quietly gig after gig.

Small and POWERFULL
My whole board is powered by this little beast. 2x18V outputs and 2 variable voltage outputs allow for further experimentation with some pedals. No noise whatsoever.
