Joyo Power Supply 2

McToot

Anyone used one? Any experiences? I've tried searching the pages for it but it doesn't seem to come up so thought I'd ask.

Got one. Good enough for the money but the outputs are not isolated so you cannot use an inverted polarity cable at the same time (at least I couldn't)

I'd sort of gathered that, but don't have the faintest clue what it means. Physics and electronics and all that stuff confuse the bejesus out of me

the Harley Benton one is probably better value as a cheap one, it is isolated

I'm not much of a help either but from what I know if the outputs are not isolated some pedals may become quite noisy. Others like certain fuzzes need isolated outputs with reverse polarity cables (centre positive).

@ToneControl. Not sure all HB power supplies have isolated outputs.

Have been using one for over a year now with no problems / hum - it's powering pedals both in & outside effects loop and no noise issues - has 12 & 18v outs and one of the 9v outs puts out 250mA (EDIT - it's actually 500mA) so powers up my Blue Sky easily - great unit but I'd add that I bought a 3 prong 18v wall wart as backup for the 2 prong euro adapter that ships with the unit.

Which one - the Joyo or the HB?

yeah only the jr is isolated, far as i'm aware

the HB junior one is isolated, and works well, unlike the full size HB one, which did not work properly at all

I've got one going spare if anyone's after one. Hasn't been used much but I've fitted a UK plug to it (properly).
