    I added this to my Gator Pro pedal board because I have lots of pedals. I like the fact that it will power a couple 18 volt units as well as the 9 volt pedals. It does what it's supposed to; no problems here.

  • Best one hands down

    I had this old Ibanez 9v power supply that had an extender to switch from one connector to four. But that was problematic. Depending on the relative size of your pedals and their position, you'd generally have to skip one because the connectors wouldn't all reach and then have to use a battery in one of the pedals. This Gator brick completely eliminates that problem.

  • I own 3 & they all work flawlessly

    I own 3 & they all work flawlessly. I haven't had any issues, besides that you can't by additional plugs for your effects. Other than that, I love mine.

  • Very poorly designed product. They should stick to cases.

    There have been two occasions where the power adapter has just fallen out of the brick during live shows. It's meant either frantically flipping over my board to plug it back in, or even restarting the song. The length of the cord is way too short, and the connection is way too loose. The transformer is also power-strip unfriendly, and I much prefer the design of the One Spot. It also really bothers me that the individual plugs that the brick uses aren't right angled when they connect to the pedals, which means that the plug housing sticks out of the pedal board on your top row of pedals. Everything uses proprietary connectors too, except for where they connect to the pedal, so it's impossible to improve the design through tinkering. The unit also mounts very clumsily to my pedaltrain board. I had to ziptie it to the bottom side of my tuner pedal at this haphazard angle. The one-spot is 1/5th the price and doesn't suffer from any of these problems, I'm going back.

    Is each outlet isolated? Looking for a lower prices option to 1spot and Voodoo Labs.
