I purchased two of these for use with my Strymon Zuma. I had the same issue as others the side with the white stripe didn't work at all making it completely useless. What a piece of junk. Don't waste your time or money on this product.

I purchased four of these parts for my pedalboard. One of four was defective. One of the split connections on the defective part did not have electrical continuity on the center conductor. I verified this with a multimeter. It was returned to Sweetwater. The replacement part also had the same issue. I took the replacement part again back to Sweetwater. I brought my multimeter with me this time. The salesman and I took three more parts off the shelf and we checked them out and they all had the same issue.

There is another review titled "Junk" describing exactly the problem I had.

After 6 months, one of the two outputs just quit working.

Of 14 that I have received (including a second round to replace those that failed upon initial installation), 4 remain functional. I tracked down Voodoo Labs website and they stated that the white striped leg does not provide a ground to "avoid ground loop issues". I tested all of the units received with a DVOM and verified that the ten inoperative splitters do NOT have a functional ground on the striped leg. The four splitters that function normally DO have a functional ground. Of the failed splitters, most are able to power one pedal on the grounded leg, but there are several that will not power a pedal on either of the branches. The manufacturing seems inconsistent at best. I have opted to remove even the functional splitters from my pedalboard in order to eliminate a shining Achilles heel that I cannot even acquire serviceable spares to mitigate random failure risks.

Of note, I am powering my system with a new Strymon Zuma and Ojai expansion blocks that have no trouble powering any of the affected pedals directly. When I attempted to use the splitters, the combined amperage load was well under half the rated output of the power supply channel. All power cables to splitters passed testing and were able to power the affected pedals when directly connected to the Zuma power supply.

The design appears useful and is available in multiple lengths, making for tidy usage and problem solving, but due to the inconsistent manufacturing and lack of functionality, it simply causes more problems than anything and compromises the reliability of whatever application it is applied to.
