An absolute tank.

Jumped from a cheap power supply I bought in high school that was neither isolated nor grounded. This cured so many problems immediately. It's reliable and story.

Only thing to note before buying is it's huge. It's an actual brick. Break out a tape measure and make sure it'll fit where you want it before buying.

Gold standard of pedalboard power supplies for large pedalboard users.

I've started using Truetone power supplies since 2017, starting out with the CS7. I really love how the power supply provided isolated, clean power to my pedals. When I started to expand on my pedalboard with various analog pedals in late 2017, that was when I began using the CS12 power supply.

This power supply not only allows you to toggle between 9V and 12V DC power for the first few inputs, it also allows you to hook up 2 18V DC units such as MXR EQ's and/or Electric Eye Audio Mud Killer Overdrive's, and if you want to use pedals that require 9V AC power, the option is available to you as well. What I also love about the power supply is that it's universally compatible for international voltages, meaning I can easily take my pedalboard from Canada to Europe or Asia and I won't have to worry about my pedalboard's power, I just find the appropriate IEC cable and connect. The power supply will automatically adjust and voila, suddenly you now have a deadly live performance utility in your hands.

The only thing I'd probably want out of the power supply would be ultra-high current power jacks for units like the Digitech Whammy V that uses 1300 mA current, but considering how even other competitors don't take it into account, I won't complain.

Overall, the Truetone CS12 is the gold standard for powering almost any pedalboard setups. If you're in the market for the power supply to power your stompboxes, take a serious look at Truetone power supplies. You won't regret it.

Almost Perfect.

I never thought I'd be in the position to need an isolated power supply, then I found myself in an instance where I had 8+ pedals and was starting to get noise. I was also intrigued by the idea of using higher/lower voltage and figured... what they hey. It is almost 2017, the world is about to go up in flames, why not spend 150 bucks on a glorified power brick?

Yes, it cut down on noise. Yes being able to use my booster and compressor at 18v is awesome, especially the boost pedal. And yes, being able to dial down the voltage to my compressor is like giving it a whole extra knob.

So why not five stars? Because the wires they ship with it are perilously short. I like to keep a fairly compact and concise board and found I was practically pulling some of the sockets out with even the longest wires on my further reaching pedals. If they had a 4.5 star rating I would have given it that.

Quiet and effective

Variety of voltages and milliamps out - works great for my small pedal board - one of the fairest price points for one that gives you isolation and proper protection and keeps your pedal board clean. It's not pretty but it works.

Blah

It's an isolated power supply. I am still confused why they cost so much but it's a necessary evil when you start getting into a larger pedal board. I am annoyed they don't include a voltage doubler for 24v pedals, and when I bought a voltage doubler the included cables didn't fit my Frantone Glacier or Ehx Polychorus.

Reliable and tank build.

It is almost foolproof and indestructible, easy to mount to your pedalboard and the slots are transparent. I've been using one for 5 years now and never had any problem with it.

Regulated and everything

Fulltone pedals need regulated power, but very few power pedals can manage that, to my surprise! This one is isolated and regulated with and abundance of different outputs of all kinds, this is really a fantastic power supply, and to a much cheaper price than the competition.

I'll never buy another power supply

This unit is so quiet, and has enough ports (12) to deal with a versatile array of pedals. I absolutely love it.

Good power supply, very quiet

Very good and noiseless. I even use the sag feature to power a 5V Line 6 G10 wireless receiver. It is very consistent in delivering the 5 volts.

Really great

supplies my power needs, and i love the ability to change the Volts that go into the pedals for a rougher or cleaner sound
