Insufficient isolation (for my needs)
Anonymous 01.02.2017
Pros: great price, small, plenty of juice, flexible

Cons: wall wart, no on/off switch, insufficient isolation

I was pretty impressed with this overall when I first found and got this. Unfortunately, I started having some noise issues from one of my pedals in pretty extreme situations. I have a bunch of pedals daisychained at 12v and realized that high gain pedals were causing noise in one of my 18v pedals. Troubleshooting revealed that it was an isolation issue. I tried combining two of the 9v outlets, but was getting faults...which also turned out to be an isolation issue. So, this power supply has helped me realize that a lot of the Mooer pedals sound great at 12v, but unfortunately it doesn't quite meet my needs.

The description, and even the manual, is not super clear on this, in my opinion. Ports A&B are isolated from the other six ports, but A&B are not isolated from each other, and neither are the six other outlets. This may or may not be an issue for you, but it will probably lead to me returning it and using my Harley Benton power plant jr.'s a little longer before eventually buying something more expensive (currently out of stock). Bummer!

Could be better but does the job.
Bellenoir 05.02.2019
I use this as the main power source in my pedal board. Amp I use is Koch Studiotone 20. I get my drive tone from the amp, so I don't use drive pedals.

+ quiet. Doesn't add too much extra noise on its own
+ solid build for the money
+ lots of outputs
+ 2 outputs that go up to 18V

- the 2 iso-outputs are isolated from the other 6, but NOT ISOLATED FROM ONE ANOTHER (at least not to my knowledge), which the product description doesn't mention. Usually, this is not a problem, but for some, it can be.
- I have a DigiTech Jamman and whenever I use it, I need to use the iso-output, because the unit picks up a lot of scratchy digital noise otherwise
- the cables supplied with the unit have right-angled plugs only at one end. I would have preferred on both ends, as you pretty much need to use the right-angle ones into the unit and straight ones into the pedals - which is not optimal at all
- only 150mA of juice per outlet. This might limit your pedal choices.
- I'd have preferred a solid power cable instead of a flimsy adapter

Perfect little power supply
DDost 01.05.2021
There's not much bad to be said about Palmer power supplies.
At first I never thought it mattered which supply you bought. But with Palmer I found out how nice it is to have one that does not hiss, hum or crack. These power supplies are Solid with a capital S. I also had the Palmer PWT 12 mk2. Same story: they just work. And quietly at that.
To me the price is very fair. The supplies are compact, they fit under your pedal board if it's inclined.
The plug it comes with is an adapter with a small supple cable. Which is a lot more convenient than a big heavy cable that pops out all the time.

All in all very happy with the Palmer power supplies, would buy again 100%!

Must have for medium-size pedalboard
Anonymous 21.02.2017
This power supply is used in my pedalboard, which currently consists of 7 pedals.

The most important feature is that two outputs have switcheble voltage at 500mA. For me it is very important, since I have a compact power amp right in the pedalboard. It is AMT TC-3, which consumpts exactly 500mA, and requires 18V.

The second switchable output is run at 9V for Whammy Ricochetm which has consumption about 300mA.

So, this small power supply allows to create a whole full-featured amp in the pedalboard format.

Highly recomended for those who want have all-in one pedalboard of medium size.

Good
GoWithTheFloat 16.04.2018
The two inputs with adjustable power was what sold me this pedal. 8 slots are definitely more than I regularly use, and if I want to add more power consuming pedals in the future, I have at least two spots covered. It isn't that big either, which is quite nice considering I have a small board and a small room. The biggest downside to this product I have noticed so far is the lack of a on/off-switch which I find a bit strange. I would also have liked the power input to be at the back of the pedal, but that isn't exactly a big problem.

For the price however this power supply is very good, and fits my needs nicely with room for a future bigger collection of pedals.

Palmer PWT 08 ? Stable and Reliable
Declan McTiernan 05.05.2017
I decided to build my first pedal board for my bass setup. Having to always build the signal chain each time I wanted to practice was a pain, not to mention costing a fortune in 9V batteries. I purchased a Palmer MI Pedalbay 60 and matched this power supply unit. The power supply works very well and neatly fits the underneath of the pedal board. Since my pedal setup requires a mixture of 9V and 12V supplies, this unit was a perfect for my needs. The supply is stable and I have not noticed any earthing related hum or noise so all my pedals are silent. The unit is reasonably priced and comes complete with all required cabling to connect power to the pedals.

Pros:
Easy to setup
Stable and flexible with six 9V outlets and two switchable 9, 12 or 18 volts outlets
Reasonably priced

Cons:
None so far

Verdict:
I?m very pleased with my purchase. A quality product, would recommend this.

Its a buy!!
Zaben 04.10.2021
I was hesitant at first before getting this due to lack of many reviews, I took the step because I needed more outlets to hook more pedals. I think you should consider this power supply to complete your gear set if you're looking for an affordable and reliable gear. I've only had it for a couple of days and I couldn't find anything negative about it.

Thanks Thomann

Lightweight crazyness
Riffman 30.01.2018
I did not expect this pedal to be so lightweight, it takes no space on your board, works like a charm.

I am even planning to get two of these to expand my pedal board, as the price-performance on this thing is through the roof.
