Gator GTR-PWR-8 Pedalboard Power Supply Reviews
With eight DC-isolated 9V power outputs, the Gator GTR-PWR-8 is a smart solution for providing reliable, low-noise power to your effects pedalboard. The first two outlets offer a Sag control to adjust the voltage between 4V and 9V, perfect for starving fuzz pedals for creative effect. You’ll also find four more 9V/12V DC outputs, one 9V/18V DC output, and a 12V AC output — a comprehensive offering for any combination of analog and digital effects pedals. Its rugged metal enclosure is vented for superior heat dissipation, and integrated mounting slots allow for direct mounting to your pedalboard. If you’re running a mid-sized pedalboard and are searching for a better power solution, Sweetwater can highly recommend the Gator GTR-PWR-8 pedalboard power supply.

Solidly Built & Reliable PS w/Ample Accessory Cables
This has been a reliable power source and is quite solidly built and looks nice. I bought two of these; with about two years between each purchase so that says something. One is permanently affixed to my guitar pedal board and the other is mounted in my studio for use with my synth effects-pedals. The inclusion of reverse polarity and voltage doubling cables are a plus. Very easy to mount without needing velcro due to the thru-holes along housing perimeter. Which is good because I hate velcro. Velcro on pedal boards is just madness and has to stop.
Good deal
Good deal, lots of options to switch between 9-18v. The only problem I have is that thee highest rated plug is 250mah, which is fine for most things, but if your gonna get a big box pedal like a Strymon that won't cut it. It's quiet. Power switch located in an easy location, enough cables to do whatever you need.
Good Price
This is my first power supply for my first board. The two outlets on the right allow the voltage to be varied, from 4-9V, the next three outlets can each be set for 9 or 12 V. The sixth outlet is 18V, and the seventh and eight outlets are for 12V each (one for DC and one for AC). Although this is described as having 8 outlets, only 7 are effectively available (the box advises not to use the right-most 12VDC and 12 VAC at the same time). I tested the output voltage on each, and they all seemed nominally correct, with center negative polarities. Gator provides a generous selection of power cables, including a polarity reverser, but unfortunately, the voltage doubler cabler that came with my unit was faulty, and would only yield 12V when connected to two 12V outlets. The customer service at Gator was unable to provide timely assistance, and there is no manual on-line or otherwise, so if you are new to this like me, you may have to come up with your own solutions (a Voodoo Labs doubler that I purchased separately produced the desired 24V). I do like that the outlets are isolated, and of the units that have this feature, this seemed an inexpensive one.
