Very small power supplies with 2x12v any recommendations?

chromatunachromatuna Frets: 367
I am plotting a tiny ‘throw in a bag’ board ( have a PT Nano) with a few essentials, probably just three effects plus a tuner. Snag is I want definitely one 12v connection for my Carbon Copy, the option of another would be handy too. Any suggestions?

    Cioks 4 looks like it will cover pretty much everything

    Thanks @personalnadir ;

    I maybe should have picked up the Adam that was recently in the classifieds here for £50

    TGI Power Box

    I've actually got one of these going spare which you could have for next to nothing, but it's missing the 18V supply - as usual with these mini ones it's more correctly described as a distribution box... the *supply* is the bit you plug into the wall. 18 centre-negative 3A supplies (which I think is the requirement) seem to be quite hard to find.

    Thanks @ICBM I’ll have a look at that one although to be honest I would rather have an integral transformer than a wall wart

    Strymon Ojai has 5 outputs, two of which you could set to 12v (or 18v)

    Me too, which is why you could have had it for next to nothing :). I could convert an old laptop power supply I've got to run it, but it's about four times the size of the distribution box so I haven't bothered yet...

    Tip positive.

    Unless you get one that you can open up the casing and swap the connections... which is rare, most of them are glued now.

    I suppose you can replace the plug, but it's a bit of a bodge.

    I've just bought a CIOKS DC-7, which is very small and also versatile; every output is 9/12/15/18V switchable and at 9V it does 660mA.

    Truetone CS6? That's got 2x 12v switchable ports and a 2x 18v. They can all be switched back to 9v. Pretty small too.

    Thanks for the suggestions folks, I am quite surprised how much even a small decent power supply costs but I guess if a handful of components overdrive can be £200 then maybe I shouldn’t be, the PSUs probably better value. I shall see what pops up used
