Voodoo Lab Pedal Power X4

I had read so many mixed reviews about other power supplies that I decided to splash out on the Voodoo Labs X4 which almost universally received glowing praise. I wanted to power up a small basic pedal board, but the main issue was powering a GK Plex, which requires a 500mA supply current. The X4 fitted the bill perfectly, with enough spare current and sockets to power an overdrive and multi-effects pedal as well.The only issue I came across was with the GK Plex because it wouldn't boot up properly whilst the X4 established its output supply. This caused the Plex to freeze, so I added a small toggle switch (on the diecast box top left of photo) to basically switch the power from the X4 to the Plex on and off. Once the X4 has established its output properly (which happens almost immediately) I simply flick the toggle switch which connects the X4 to the Plex, and the Plex then boots up as it should. I only mention this because if someone has a similar setup with a complex digital effects pedal and it is connected straight to the X4, it *might* not boot up correctly. Plugging in the pedal *after* the X4 is powered up should solve this problem.The other diecast box I built myself and is a true bypass switch for the effects pedal. The status LED is powered from the X4. I added this simply because it was almost impossible to bypass the effects pedal effectively as it requires both effect up and down footswitches to be pressed at the same time, and often switched to an adjacent preset effect before bypassing, which was sometimes annoying especially if the unintended preset effect was louder than the one being used.As for the X4, it has powered everything perfectly, with no noise, hum or any other unwanted noises. My only slight niggle is that the 18V output from the transformer box that powers the X4 is fixed and very short, meaning that mains power needs to be run to the pedal board location. Obviously a heavy duty low voltage extension lead could be used between the transformer and the X4 but this adds another potential weakness.Still worth 5* though!

This pedal powers an Ashdown Reverb, a TC Electronic Mic Mechanic and an Airturn BT200 iPad page turner. Does so with no drama and a fair amount of aplomb.

This would have been perfect except I didn’t realise one of my pedal needed a 12v and the 12v input in the picture is the power rather then a pedal out put but the size and built quality is great

This supply is great ......but after numerous phone calls and emails to amazon I was assured this came with a uk power supply I.e 3 pin plug ......of course when it came it was an American power cable , very dissapointed as I couldn't use it , bad customer service .

I’m happy with this little power supply. It fits perfectly under my tiny acoustic board. It's descrete and quiet. What more could you ask for?

Small, weighs nothing, and improves pedals’ sound. And, I can't say enough about Voodoo Labs' Customer Service. They are really generous with their time and knowledge. Their products' quality and design are tops., as is their warranty.

Sin duda , es lo mejor qué hay en el mercado En fuentes de poder , mejora el sonido y es muy silenciosa!.

Pas d'adaptateur prise EU !!! format de prise US !!!

Amazon mentioned that the warehouse deals product is still working but I was sent a faulty product that did not turn on.
