Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Walrus Audio Aetos 8-Output Power Supply.

Features and functionality

  • The Aetos has six 100mA outputs and two 300mA outputs, with a courtesy plug that can power additional devices like the HX Stomp.

    Source
  • The Aetos' inability to power the Walrus Polychrome and Electro Harmonix Memory Boy suggests potential compatibility issues with specific analog pedals despite their low power draw.

    Source
  • The Aetos can power an EHX Memory Man 24v using the courtesy plug, eliminating the need for an additional power supply on the pedalboard.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners report that proximity noise from toroidal transformer PSUs can affect high gain pedals if placed too close, but it's generally not a significant issue compared to guitar noise.

    Source
  • Some owners successfully expand their setup by using GigRig Isolators with a CIOKS7, allowing for more pedals from a single PSU without compromising power stability.

    Source
  • Users transitioning from a 1spot to the Aetos report significantly less noise with effects like the Boss RE-20 and drive pedals.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Some users suggest the Aetos isn't as future-proof as other options like the Strymon Zuma due to its output limits, but it's sufficient for smaller setups.

    Source
  • Users suggest alternatives like the Voodoo Lab PP3+ or Fender Engine Room V12 for setups requiring up to 12 pedals, offering more flexible power options.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • It's noted that while the Aetos is more expensive, alternatives like the MXR Brick offer similar functionality at a lower price.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Owners recommend calculating the mA draw of each pedal to ensure compatibility; e.g., the Strymon TimeLine requires 300mA, which may exceed the Aetos' capacity for some outputs.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • There is uncertainty about powering Meris pedals with 100mA outputs; users should verify if the stated 150mA is actual consumption or just the supplied power adapter rating.

    Source

Build quality

  • Owners describe the Aetos as very quiet and robustly built, enhancing the overall pedalboard experience by reducing noise.

Clean in Every Way

I was tired of dicking around with the batteries required feed my small stable of guitar pedals so did a healthy bit of searching. The Aetos proved to be great. Super clean in look, operation and sound. Running with a Roland Blues Cube. Clean sound is what I'm after, and I am extremely happy with this little box. UPDATE: I have found that the Walrus Aetos does not have the amperage to run some Strymon pedals. More an issue with Strymon than Walrus, but worth noting.

"Affectionately given Seuss-ian nicknames, this pair of microKORGs handles bass notes through the set, among other things, via the foot-controlled PK5. 'Thing 1' is set up at the drum station, and runs through a board with an EHX Nano Big Muff, EHX Bass9, EHX Nano Holy Grail, and a Radial Pro DI. A Walrus Aetos keeps them all powered up."
