Werks as described- very convenient power source

I’m a new guitarist playing around with pedals for the first time. I also got a couple of Aitone pedals and needed something to power them. This power supply does the job perfectly for my needs. A set of power cables is included which made it easy to get power to my pedals. I charged the battery and have been using it without the power adapter without issue. I have only used the pedals for a few minutes at a time, plus my two pedals certainly aren’t much of a load, so don’t have a good sense of how long the battery life is. I can’t hear noise or interference issues when using the power supply. The USB port delivers enough power to charge my phone. The build quality is quite high. Overall it seems like a decent power supply and certainly meets my needs.

This is a great pedalboard power supply. And I love that it’s battery powered. I’m slowly transitioning to having literally everything either wireless or battery powered (I never minded cords before, but everything is so much better without them), so this supply is great. Plus, a battery is ALWAYS the single very best way to have truly isolated power. However, it is bigger/chunkier and a lot heavier than most pedalboard supplies these days because of the built in battery. I was surprised at how heavy it was, and it doesn’t fit under any of my mini pedal boards, but I can live with that. It only has three 500mA outputs (for digital pedals) and then three 100 mA outputs. It does have a selectable 9/12/18V output, but it’s also only 100mA so it’s kind of limited. However, if you have a good analog boost pedal that can handle 18V, you could really slam the front of a tube amp with the 18V supply. I also love that you can turn the super bright blue LEDs off with a little button --- very nice. For what it is, it’s absolutely 5 stars, but I do with every output was capable of 500mA, since so many pedals are going digital and require more than 100mA.

While they are not always practical or necessary, I find rechargeable pedal power to be a wonderful thing. One less thing I HAVE to plug in to make stuff work. Plug it in, or don't. And in a pinch, you can charge your phone or tablet off of it.The bottom line is that most effects pedals use VERY little power. We've mostly gotten away from using 9v batteries, thankfully. But many AC powered pedal power supplies are overkill (some are underkill...), serving up way more current than many of us typically need. Now, when I built a pedalboard into a briefcase and basically buried the power supply where I would not want to remove it and would pretty much have to buy the same exact brick if it ever failed because nothing else would fit, THEN I bought top notch overpowered AC driven stuff that should last virtually forever. Sometimes though, a battery powered brick is really all I need.I've had other rechargeable power supplies that were smaller. Thinner. I should also add that one of these completely failed the second time I used it, FWIW. I also believe that these charged via USB, which would be handy and I would normally prefer that over a separate charging transformer like this Aitone box uses. BUT, while many non-battery power bricks use an18v "wall wart" for power (pretty standard, not usually too hard to replace if necessary), this one charges via everyone's favorite DC power flavor: tip negative 9v. That's right, if I'm seeing this correctly, you can use any standard pedal power supply to charge the battery in this power supply. You can essentially charge this brick off of another power brick. So if I were to use this to power a "second string" of pedals outside of my main board, I could actually run a power cable off my first board to charge it. But I don't have to, because it has a battery! Pretty cool. This does include its own charging power supply though.No noise issues with this that I've noticed. I would be a little skeptical of this actually supplying full wattage on every port simultaneously. It's only 2 Amps total (not counting the 1A USB) so maybe. But I doubt that is ever going to be an issue since many pedals don't even get close to using 100mA. If it could support 2 Amps worth of pedals at one time, I would expect the battery life would suffer. Also note that there is zero indication of how many mAh of power this battery serves up or what battery chemistry is used (everything is lithium now, right? Not necessarily). The description claims up to 10 hours of use, but that would be HEAVILY affected by how much power was being used. If I only got 10 hours of use while running a single 30mA pedal, I might be a little disappointed, but if I actually played for 10 hours, I should probably take a break anyway, while the power brick is charging, right? I've never really run this thing down, so I can make no claims about the battery life, good or bad.Overall, a pretty cool item that makes my pedals light up and sound like I expect them to. Yes, if you just need a plain ol' power brick, you can probably get 2 decent ones for the price of this rechargeable model (currently $56). Wires, circuit boards, and jacks simply cost more when you add a battery to the mix. If you don't need the battery, you might be better off just buying a higher grade of non-battery power supply for the same money. Or buying a cheap power supply and another budget priced pedal. If the battery suits your needs though, this power supply delivers rechargeability without breaking the bank.

I like the three-color LED power indicator that’s easily visible on the top. It maps to a percentage range of power available – including a green that goes solid upon full charge and a fast-blinking red when power is critically low. Out of the box it showed yellow indicating 30-60%, and took less than 30 minutes to fully charge to solid green.I also like the small push button that toggles the bright blue LEDs atop each of the input jacks. The LEDs are a distraction and have little value unless you’re using the using in a darkened area. Shutting them off must also conserve a bit of battery power. Note: this push button does not effect the large power LED on the top.Finally I like the fact I can use the power supply while the adapter is plugged in. I’m mostly playing indoors and, unless I’m recording in a quiet setting and rally looking to minimize noise, I prefer not to have to think about battery power (chalk it up to post-70’s traumatic gig stress with flashbacks of batteries fuzzing out dead onstage or during setup and having to scramble to find a local place that sold replacements).I seldom chain more than 2-3 pedals but for the purpose of testing this supply I filled the 4 100ma and two 500ma ports with an assortment of reverbs, overdrives and modulations, including my trusty BOSS DD-07 Digital Delay which is no friend to batteries. The supply’s battery power held up fine for an hour, which for my purposes is fine.
