Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus Isolated Power Supply

I have purchased two of these. So pleased. I run two different set ups with two different pedal boards. I love the SAG feature for my overdrive and distortion pedals. Thin enough to put underneath my boards. Nice and quiet.

If you have the money, and see yourself using it, get one of these. For years, I resisted getting a Power 2 Plus because of the high ticket price, but honestly if i had gotten one of these initially, i would have saved hundreds of dollars. Over the years I have tried a number of similar products (including one-spot), and have had to buy (and subsequently lose!) lots of individual power supply units for pedals. The Power 2 Plus sounds way better than individual PSUs and one-spot style IMO. Greatly reduces noise, which is huge for me. It's small and well built, with mountings available for various pedal boards. It's easier to plug in to the outlet (PC style power cable). And with fewer parts, you're less likely to misplace stuff at the gig. That said, probably some kind of board or carrying apparatus should still be used. 10/10 for me. These are very nice units

Yes, its expensive. But it works. Comes with a great variety of cables for all the power requirements of your boxes. Built like a tank. Your noisy boxes (distortion, overdrive, DS-1 etc...) will still be noisy, but a little less so. Your quiet boxes (chorus, echo) will be silent! No annoying humming. Eliminates a major source of noise...your power supply. I never realized how much noise was being created by the "daisy chain" power supply cord that you can buy to plug all your guitar pedals into one outlet. They are a real source of major noise. The Pedal Power 2 plus eliminates this! You can plug 8 standard guitar pedals into this box at once. Enough for almost anyone''s chain of effects. No regrets.

These are a little expensive but worth every penny. If you run a daisy chain or a cheap power supply and get a lot of hissing, static sounds, and excessive feedback this will clear up your issue. My pedals seem to have better output as well. If you break down how many pedals you can power with this power supply its not that expensive. That and the cost of batteries alone is a big $$ savings. It's pretty versatile and has several output options it you have some really power hungry pedals. Overall I'm very satisfied with it.

It really, really sucks to spend this kind of money on a power source. That is, until you actually own it. This power source has made my power management and pedalboard situation so much better than the nightmare of cables and strips I was dealing with before. It's reduced a lot of the noise and completely changed my experience playing. Really makes an average board feel like a professional product and snugly fits underneath the negative space of most pedalbaord chassis. Get the mount as well. Strongly recommended. Just buy it.

In the life of every electric guitarist, pedals start to become important to your sound. Batteries provide the cleanest power but are expensive and plagued by the fact that we never can remember to unplug the cable. Dooh! The voodoo Pedal Power 2 Plus is a fine isolated power supply. I tested on my pedal board and found it only added 2-3 more dB to my ambient guitar signal (ambient as tested was 43-44dB which increased to 45-46dB). Not bad at all. Since I'm also an electrical engineer with time and parts to spare, I built a 3 channel isolated power supply out of an old PC ATC power supply (which uses a switching power supply rather than the voodoo linear power supply). I put in about $20 of parts I got on Ebay, and was able to build a supply that I'm happy with, and performed very similar to the voodoo. I could not make a distinction audibly, but when I tested it with my dB meter, it did add about 6-7dB above ambient (ambient was the same as above and sound increased to about 51-53). I'm not surprised it did worse given the underlying supply is switching type, which inherently are noisier. So a little worse than voodoo, but like I said that 6-7dB difference was hardly noticeable in the room, and for 20 bucks and a little bit of solder, I'm pretty happy with the results! The reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 are the following: -Current limits are absolutely appalling low 100mA, except for 5-6 which can go to 250mA. As more fancy Line6 and other pedals that demand more power come into to play, you'll find yourself tapped out quick and needing the more expensive Pedal Power DIGITAL model. My RC30 looper pedal needs almost 200mA, so even that is borderline. For comparison, my 3 isolated power channels can do 1-2amps (I have it fused to 2amp) per channel thanks to nice heat sinks and a robust fan. The size of mine is not much bigger than the pedal power 2. -What's with the short cables? 18" is not enough for most pedal boards even if you put the the supply in the center (and I don't want to do that). I ended up making my own cables. Perhaps if you have the kind that goes under the board you're ok, but I don't have one like that and neither do other people. Voodoo labs does carry longer cables (24" and 36") on their website. There are not decent quality right angle plugs sold anywhere(at least I haven't found them). Otherwise I would make my own cables. -Only 6 right angle cables? Who even uses the straights anymore? With the cost of pedal board space so high, it makes no sense. More cables please! -It really would benefit from a power switch in my opinion. I guess people put this in a place that can't be reached? But still. A switch would be nice. -Pricey. Look, I know you have to pay to get good stuff, but this this too much. A lot of other good isolated supplies out there are being made and not nearly this much. Probably is 40 overpriced. Pros: -Yes, there are alot of good things about this that people have already comment on. Clean power, helps cut down hiss, reliable, works well with pedaltrain (if you have one...). All true, so I won't dwell on what's already been mentioned. -Fantastic customer service! I sent an email asking a question and they gave me a call a few hours later. They listened carefully to my problem and found me a satisfactory solution very quickly. The representative was very courteous and had excellent customer service skills. I was very impressed! 4 stars. Good but pricey, poorly thought out cables

For once, I now have hum and noise free sound without resorting to buying 9V batteries for my pedals. The fully isolated power outputs work great. It mounted nice and out of the way under the Pedaltrain PT-1-HC pedalboard. I would not hesitate to buy this again! For those who say it's not versatile, maybe they didn't read the manual? Each channel has a selector switch to vary the options -- the options vary per channel. In a nutshell you can get 9V, 12.3V, and 14.5V with the stock purchase. Or you can buy one of the adapter cable which allow you to couple two outputs to get 18V or 24V, or double the current. The are two outputs that can be adjusted continuously from 4 to 9V for the drained battery sound. Probably still some pedals this can't power, but I think it's amazingly versatile. Download the manual from the Voodoolab website, and check it out to see if it will work for your pedals.

Would absolutely recommend to audiophiles that want the cleanest signal for recording. Violin pickups tend to be noisier than most but when I plugged my violin into my computer through my DI box, there was absolutely NO noise in my signal! I also appreciated that it came with a variety of cables to power all my pedals without needing to buy more elsewhere. Don’t listen to what BOSS says about needing to power their pedals with their brand power supplies! It powers my twin pedal Loop Station RC-30 just fine. This unit has everything you need and more.

Si vous avez des pédales gourmandes en énergie comptez bien vos besoins. Seulement 2 sorties 250 mA qui n est pas non plus extravagant. J aurais aimé voir 4 sorties 500 mA comme sur une cioks DC 7 que je vais devoir sûrement rajouter en plus sur mon pedaltrain . Je l ai choisi car je l ai eu en deuxième main donc pas cher.

Excelente Fuente, muy versatil en sus diversas salidas a distintos Volts y elimina el ruido de tus pedales.

Viene con enchufe inglés, cosa que si miras atentamente las fotos con un poco de zoom y lees los comentarios te das cuenta, pero no lo especifica en ningún sitio y te puede pillar por sorpresa porque no sé, lo estás comprando en Amazon España.

Il trasformatore per pedali di chitarra migliore al mondo non ha bisogno di presentazioni, i chitarristi sanno cosa si prova ad ascoltare “VERAMENTE” il suono dei propri pedali... il pacco era perfetto, la spedizione arrivata anche prima del previsto. Unica nota da considerare: non mi è arrivata nessuna staffetta per montarlo sulla pedaliera, non era prevista a differenza di anni fa quando uscì il pedale, ma consiglio l’acquisto in contemporanea in quanto il pedal power è abbastanza pesante ed è necessario fissarlo per bene sulla propria pedalboard.

Simply the best power for your pedals. I had some issues with my previous inferior power bank. The moment I plugged this in those issues had disappeared.
