Voodoo Lab Pedal Power X8 High Current 8-output Isolated Power Supply
Voodoo Lab Pedal Power X8 High Current 8-output Isolated Power Supply Reviews
The Voodoo Lab Pedal Power X8 gives you eight isolated DC outputs of extremely quiet, high-current pedal fuel wherever you take the stage — from Tuscany to Tucson. That alone is impressive enough. But considering you can feed up to a pair of X8s directly from the X-Link expansions of the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 3 (not included) for a total of 24 outlets of VL-grade pedal power, the X8 is a sound investment in any thriving pedal landscape. Most impressive of all, the X8 is, for all intents and purposes, absolutely noiseless. This unit fuses noise-free linear regulation with advanced-hybrid DC transformer topology to create one of the quietest high-current pedal power supplies we have ever encountered here at Sweetwater. Using its included AC adapter, Pedal Power X8 gives you up to two amps (2000mA) of total current to share between its eight isolated DC outputs. Each of its outlets can deliver up to 500mA of smart current, which means safe operation for your fussy vintage fuzzes and plenty of provision for your current-hungry modern digital delays and reverbs. What’s more, the Pedal Power X8’s international switching gives you rock-solid performance on stages all over the world — as long as your input voltage stays between 100V and 240V, the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power X8 has you covered.
Does not fit under Pedaltrain Metro
I actually did the measurements and everything fit, except when you try to plug the 12v power into the board. An angled plug would have worked, but the straight plug does not..
Other than that it fit every spec I was looking for.
Does Exactly What You Need It To
Bought this to power a pretty straightforward bass rig. Super easy to use, comes with everything you need to get organized and powered, and it has performed flawlessly. It's worth the money.
Actually surprised
I was pleasantly surprised by how good of a job this power supply does to eliminate excess noise and hiss from my pedal chain. Money well spent.
Solid value
Solid, straightfoward, and reliable in a nicely compact form factor. My pedals are happy.
Voodoo Lab Pedal Power X8 High Current 8-Output Isolated Power Supply
This product came highly recommended and has lived up to the recommendation. Very compact and easy to set up on my pedalboard. Can mount it underneath my pedalboard if I need to as my pedalboard grows.
It just works. I like it.
Not a lot to say about an item that works as advertised. It is happily providing power to my pedals and I am happy.
Perfect for medium setups
Powers my 7 pedals without a hitch, much quieter than even individual power adapters (like those from EHX or Boss). I only knocked a half star because the build quality is not as solid as I was expecting, kinda' thin metal. This is really an optional extension of a larger Voodoo Labs unit, which I don't have, but I love that it works as a small standalone supply. Glad I bought this, like I said it's very quiet!
Just what I needed!
Mount's right on the pedal board and provides all the juice my pedals need without generating a lot of noise!
Now no noise for my seven bass pedals
Excellent Power Supply. I now have no noise with my seven bass pedals. It did come with the wrong set of cables, but Voodoo Labs was apologetic and promptly sent the right set. I fits well in the tight confines of my Pedaltrain Mini pedalboard.
Easy Power solution for simple boards
Really appreciating this piece. Had bought a donner and thought it was causing issues and so I thought back to my ole' sweetwater engineers advice when I originally bought a pigtronix pedal. Can't thank Loui A. enough for always checking in and making the right calls. Sweetwater is the only reason I buy my gear new - the trust is unmatched.
Wow what a difference!
Well I normally dont write a lot of reviews but this power supply is amazing. I have a behringer 600 petal board that has 5 9 volt petals. This system was daisy chained to my 9 volt petals. Thie unit absolutley sucked. Constant hiss noise coming from my amp. I lived with this for a long time until i got fed up and bought this voodoo unit with isolated outputs. As soon as i ripped out the daisy chain amd cheap berhinger power pack i install this voodoo unit and instant silence. Absolutly no noise coming from my petals. Amazing! Best of all, i bought some velcro and installed this voodo power into my behringer case. Fits perfectly with a little modifications.
Great Solution if You Have All 9-Volt Pedals
If your needs are with similar pedals that aren't ridiculously power hungry, this small and powerful Voodoo Labs Power Brick gets the job done with isolated clean power to each pedal. If you have pedals at a higher voltage, then you may want to consider a different or supplemental solution. Love the form factor for my own purposes. Most ideal for placing under my Voodoo Labs Pedal Board to efficiently power 8 of my pedals. Much better solution than daisy-chaining with One Spot connectors in my mind. Helpful in keeping everything organized and simple.
avoid
Received 2 failed power supplies. Going with another brand.
Best in class low profile, high output design!
I bought this power supply because it can act as either an extension of my other Voodoo Labs power supply or independently. But after buying it I was surprised by the small form factor and happy to see all outputs and inputs were on the same side. It would be super easy to add to any pedalboard. Of course, I get clean power and no noise from it, like my other Voodoo Labs supplies. Great addition to my setup and super flexible.
Lightweight
I mounted it under my Pedaltrain Classic Junior with the hook and loop tape that was included with the Voodoo. Easy to run all the power cables under the board with tie wraps.
Solid PPS
Solid PPS. Works well, great size, and no noise!
I have it on a power strip and I noticed it takes longer than gator power 8 to power up (fraction of a second) but it's such a solid power supply, and saves space.
Won’t buy again
Had 2 duds in a row. Won't waste my time exchanging for a 3rd.
Nice and clean power for my amp heavy pedals
The small footprint is great for the amount of power that is supplied by this device. I'm powering my heavier pedals like my Line 6 G50 relay, my Universal Audio Dream '65, and my Electro Harmonix Canyon delay pedal. These pedals would not work without a separate power supply (either the pedal would start to malfunction or wouldn't pass audio at all). Now they are working flawlessly with no noise!
Only issue is that the power jacks are a tiny bit loose and so I have to check under my pedal board to make sure the cables are plugged in all the way. I also would prefer an IEC to power the whole device.
Pedal Power = Silent Power
This product replaced my Daisy chain and made all the difference! I keep forgetting to turn my amp off because it is now silent. Thanks to my sales rep, Austin Childress.
Does the job!
Like they say, who wants to spend pedal money on a power supply? Not much fun but this one does tame a noisy pedalboard.
I was using a cheapie Donner power supply and the buzz from my pedal board was noticeable, generating comments from band members. No longer.
Gave this 4 stars because the first one was a dud (didn't power on) and had to be returned.
HOWEVER, Sweetwater made the process easy and painless, sending me a new one before they even got the return.
Shout out to Ryan, my sales rep, and the Sweetwater people who took good care of me.
Just what I needed!
The Voodoo lab 8x power supply was just perfect for powering my 9v pedals. Came with all the required cables as well, saving me a headache. Would recommend to anyone!
So much clean power from such a small box!
My previous PSU was a Gator Power-8. It was physically huge and lacked the current to power one of my digital delay pedals. I ordered this Voodoo Labs PSU, and now I have 500mA of isolated current available to each of my pedals. And, it's one-third the size of the Gator! Because most of my pedals need less than 100mA of current, they can be chained, and I doubt I'll ever need more power than what this PSU can provide. I LOVE it!
It’s very silent
I only used it a few times so far, but it cleaned up a lot of noise my pedals were making before with daisy chain power. Seems to be a better fit than the iso brick currently using on some of my more power hungry pedals. Can't wait to use it more!
