Mr Eight by DNA Analogic

Eight

Mr. Eight is a cordless power supply that runs of an internal, rechargable battery. It can provide power to eight effects with a total current draw of 300 mA for up to 4 hours of continuous use. Mr. Eight also features an internal voltage stabilizer which assures clean, consistent power to your effects at all times. With Mr. Eight the user can plug in and play anywhere in the world with reliable, noise-free performance!

Mr. Eight features six 9V DC power outputs as well as two "Dry" outputs. The Dry outputs run at slightly lower voltage and are designed for powering overdrive and distortion units to achieve the "sag" associated with a worn-out 9 volt battery. In addition, Mr. Eight comes with a variety of jumper cables to connect your effects as well as a 9 volt AC adaptor to charge the unit. Use Mr. Eight as your standard power source too, as he is not only limited to cordless apllications. He is an all-around good-guy.

Moen  Power Station

9V, 12V

Manual

The MOEN Power Station is specially designed for pedal board, which provide regulated DC 9V and DC 12V with maximum 800mA, two AC outlets allow those pedals (like some tube drive pedal) with unpopular power supply to be plugged in. The ground check circuit is very helpful when you want to check if the AC line is grounded well, it's very important to cancel noise and protect all the powered pedals and devices. The volume meter dynamically shows the signal. The ampere meter monitors the current consumption of all pedals. The overcurrent protection circuit will instantly shut off DC output when exception happens (for example, a reverse polarity powered pedal is mis-plugged in), it protects the pedals from damage

MXR Custom Audio Electronics MC-403

The MC-403 Power System - a collaboration between Bob Bradshaw and the MXR design team. The MC-403 powers more types of pedals and electronics at one time than any previous power supply unit available. High quality, high performance toroidal transformers insure quiet operation with superior performance capabilities. Designed for maximum flexibility, the MC-403 can be used on pedal boards or rack mounted in a single rack space with the front mount bracket (included). All multi-tap outputs are completely isolated, linear regulated, and short-circuit protected to insure reliable operation. Enclosed in a heavy-duty housing, the MC-403 is designed for years of rugged road or studio use.

CONTROLS: 17 Outputs total
(8) 9VDC outputs to power battery operated effects @ 80ma each
(2) Adjustable outputs with range selection switches and variable voltage dials: Operate at 6 to 15VDC to simulate low battery sag or high output
carbon batteries @ 200ma each
(4) 18VDC outputs @ 125ma each
(2) 9VAC outputs @ 800ma each
(1) AC Pass Through.

Pedal Pad

8

Power Pad II Power Supply cycles so far above the range of human hearing that ripple-based buzz (60-cycle hum) is eliminated. At 1.67 amps of current, the Power Pad II will deliver exactly 9 volts every time and can power up to 8 guitar effects pedals. AC and DC power is circuit protected. Includes an AC courtesy outlet which solves the problem of different voltages and reversed polarities. 8 - 2.1MM 9VDC outputs and cords and an IEC inlet with 10' AC power cable

Battery plug cable connects to battery clip
Cable to connect to pedals with 2.5mm jack

Sherlock power supply

Three x 9V

The Sherlock Amplifiers power supply has three 9VDC outputs on it, and comes with a 1 meter (2.1mm ends) lead as standard.

Snake Power from Pedal Snake

SnakePOWER Supply; no cable or plug = cleaner wiring; 500mA!...the most of any true isolated Class 2 Transformer, dead quiet for audio. Input: 120VAC; Output: 9VDC.

SnakePOWER Supply, no cable or plug = cleaner wiring. 500mA! For audio, and especially in high-gain guitar rigs, isolated Class 2 Transformers are the quietest. Other supplies may deliver more current, and take up less space on a power strip, but real "heavy iron" transformers are the best for now noise, and for keeping grounds isolated. And with its 500mA rating, SnakePOWER delivers more current than any 9VDC transformer-type supply on the market.

Cleans up your backline cabling...Use MM1 or MM2-I PLines (male-male) to plug directly into the female jack!
Powers 15-20 "9V battery" (low power) stomp boxes.
Even owers Line6 modelers (use 2125AR and 21RP at the pedal).
INPUT: 120VAC. OUTPUT: 9VDC. UL/CUL. Isolated Class 2 Transformer (quiet for audio).

Apparently this is the power supply that Tom Morello uses.  After a long period considering my options this is the pedal power supply that I ended up getting.  I would have been happy with the Burkey Flatliner but I thought the dimensions were all wrong - at 7 cm high it was not going to fit under my Pedal Train 2.    I also considered a T-Rex Fuel Tank - and had considerable gas for one but the reviews at HC were equivocal especially regarding noise. In the end the decision was for the Voodoo because of the isolated outputs, Made in USA quality and 5 year warranty.

Info above quoted from a different web site to the web link. On the Wizard web site says 1000 mA - possibly few versions
