Palmer PWT 05 MK2

I use this power supply for my 4 pedal pedalboard consisting of Crybaby Wah, TC Hypergravity Compressor, Carl Martin Lick Box, T-Rex Replay Box Delay. Before buying it I was advised to save some more money and go for more expensive power supplies such as Voodoo Lab but I bought this one anyway. It saved my a nice amount of money and I have no complaints about it. It provides enough power for my needs and there is no hum at all as it has isolated outputs. Also it is built very solid and doesn't take much space. Nice thing they could add would be a 12V output but I personally don't need it so im fine with all 9V outputs. All in all 5 stars from me!

It is a big unit and I doubt it can be placed under the pedalboard because of its height (45 mm). It is a bit wider than a normal pedal, comparable with Behringer's Vintage Phaser and I placed on the board.

Inside you'll find a big toroidal transformer and all 5 outputs are independent and stabilized. You can't compare this tank with flimsy cheap electronic units. It has two LEDs one for power and one for overload. It comes with 10 cables for powering pedals (length without jacks - 60 cm), one daisy with 6 jacks, one cable for doubling the voltage and one cable for doubling the current. So you can power even a 18V pedal, or another hungry device which requires 500mA. With daisy cable you are no longer limited only of 5 pedals, you can power at least two more pedals, depending of consumption. The power unit is dead silent. None of my 5 pedals exhibits hiss, buzz or other kind of noises. Really, worth it any penny.

Realistically 5 Isolated outputs for 80 euro is a sick deal!! I use this power supply for my palmer 60 pedalboard ( needed to change the position of 2 screws to actually fit into it - really easy, they provide you the key too). Except for the perfect fit, it does with the Palmer pedalboard, I think its construction is one the best out there. Sturdy and pretty easy to operate. Its literally one on/off button.

I am really glad I didn't go for the Benton powerplant or something more expensive than this.

ps: It supplies you its own daisy chain cabling, you don't need to buy one like I did. But after some use, you will want to split your 10 pedals for example into groups of two, so you will want like 5 daisy chains of two.. so buy some extra!)

Prior to this I tried a Harley Benton ISO-1AC Pro and while that is most certainly an isolated power supply, lack of isolation wasn't exactly the root cause of my problems, rather common mode currents from the power supply jumping from shield to hot over the cable run towards my amp. Lower quality switched-mode power supplies put out incredible amounts of common mode garbage, at a very high impedance, that impedance is what makes the 115 volts you touch on an ungrounded neutral rather harmless in spite of being rather tingly or even a little painful, but also makes the noise much more likely to make its way from the shield of your signal cables to the hot and then get amplified. Very high quality switched-mode or hybrid power supplies are capable of outputting even less garbage than your average transformer, but being on a budget and data being sparse, the best thing to do would seem to be to try something increasingly rare in the pedal power world: a linear, transformer-based power supply.

The PWT-05 Mk2 most certainly delivers. It weighs almost as much my pedals combined, a good sign considering good transformers weigh a lot. Even with my amp on a high gain setting and a 4.5 metre cable run between the last pedal and the amp, there is no difference in noise floor when I flick the pedal power on, the only very very slight increase in noise is on the guitar end particularly with the volume partially rolled down, and I suspect based on prior experiments with other power supplies that presented with far more egregious issues in this department that my half-defective microphonic overdrive pedal has a hand in that and it may well go away when I find a replacement for that.

All in all if you actually use your amp and not just your pedals for gain and don't have a million high power draw pedals, I see no reason to opt for less than this power supply, there do not seem to be any cheaper isolated linear power supplies on the market, and given that I'm not likely to build a Strymon corner and many analog pedals will handle daisy chaining just fine provided the power is clean (and both a daisy chain and a current doubler are included), I see this power supply serving me well for a long time to come.

Bought this one to feed my pedals on my Palmer MI40.
It fits under the board perfectly (thx Thomann service for the info!).
It has 5 isolated outputs and an on-off switch on the side.
Its built is like a tank, pretty heavy but pretty stable too.
All you need is included in the package : cables (long & short), a 5 out daisy chain, and 2 Y cables (one doubles the current and the other doubles the output to 18vdc).
Don' t get fooled by the "big brands".....I'm pretty sure that once you unpack it you' ll understand the great quality this PS has.
This baby is solid as a rock!

I needed a smallish power supply for my new pedalboard, but with enough power to plug even more power-hungry pedals. This power supply does the job perfectly. And the price is very reasonable for the quality.

Each port provides enough power (250 mA) to supply a daisy chain with 5-6 pedals. At the moment I am using only one or two output and supply 7-8 pedals easily.

It is built like a tank and it is small enough to be easily fitted under any pedaltrain-type board.

All the cables are included in the box. It would have been awesome if a 3 way daisy chain was included as well, there is only a 6 way that in some cases is a bit too long. Oh well, you can live with it :)

All in all, awesome product, 5 stars.
