#1
Cioks
4.8
(27)
"Each output on the CIOKS is 600mA so you really could power that whole board with just 1 output from the CIOKS."
"CIOKS all the way. Used DC5 or whatever their current four hole interface will do you great."
"Cioks all the way"
"Cioks DC7. Works on my nano + and also pt jr. cioks 4 if you need to expand it."
"Cioks DC-7"
"It’s perfect."
"Agreed with u/Regular_Pizza7475 - Cioks supplies are the bee's knees!"
"It's dead quiet and takes everything I throw at it."

Truetone
4.7
(9)
"Never go cheap on the power supply. True Tone CS12, get more than you need, cuz these pedals multiply over the years."
"TrueTone CS6, it's low profile and fits under the Nano board with a few millimetres to spare. As others have said, don't skimp on it."
"I have been using a CS6 to power my Stomp, two overdrive pedals and midi switch for the last two years, zero issues."
"I currently (pun alert) use a TrueTone CS12 and a Y cable."
"I use the Truetone CS6 for my HX Effects which delivers up to 1600mA."
"Truetone CS6 I highly recommend."
"Which would also work for your situation (except for the preamp), and give you room to grow."
"Ran my stomp on the truetone cs6."
"For power i use a truetone CS7. gets the job done."
#4

#10
1Spot
4.7
(3)
"1spot pro CS6. Worldwide IEC input (no wall wart like the Strymon Ojai), no current doublers needed for high current pedals like on the Strymon stuff or Cioks, no non-standard cables required like with Cioks, much less expensive than other brands."
"Get the biggest truetone 1 spot you are likely to use. Dead quiet, lots of options with wires and you can buy various inexpensive adapters for it for "weird pedals"."
"The benefit of using a 1Spot is that it’s cheap, portable, and easily replaceable if anything goes wrong."
#11
Meanwell
4.7
(3)
"Rocodoc54's recommendation of the Meanwell LRS-350-12 is a good one."

(3)
"I use Harley Benton's ISO-1AC PRO and it powers my HX Stomp, MicroPog and Strobostomp tuner without any problems."
"Harley Benton power supply's from the ISO series would be your best budget option. It is cheap, powerful, and reliable so far in my experience."

#14
Walrus
4.3
(3)
"I just bought a walrus canvas power 15 about a month ago and I have no complaints."
"I prefer Walrus Canvas over Cioks only because of Cioks' nonstandard cables. Cioks is otherwise king in all other aspects."
"I got the new walrus canvas HP. Should work with a doubler if needed."
#15

5.0
(2)
