How to choose the best guitar effect power supplies
Clean Power Delivery
Voodoo Lab supplies are known for their exceptionally clean power, which means less noise and hum creeping into your signal chain. That subtle, almost imperceptible clarity can make a huge difference in the articulation of your single-coil pickups - it's the difference between a bell-like chime and a muddy mess.
Current Capacity
Overloading a power supply is a recipe for disaster. Voodoo Lab units consistently offer ample headroom, allowing you to run multiple pedals, even those with transformers (like some dirt pedals) without sag or instability. This is critical for band rehearsals and gigs where you're layering effects.
Isolated Outputs
This is a big one. Isolated outputs prevent one pedal from affecting another, eliminating annoying interaction and noise. Think of it: a noisy fuzz pedal shouldn't bleed into your pristine delay signal - Voodoo Lab's isolation keeps that separation.
Transient Response
How quickly a power supply recovers from sudden power demands (like a wah pedal or a heavily modulated effect) is vital. Voodoo Lab's units are known for their snappy transient response, meaning you'll get the full dynamic range of your pedals without any dips or sags that can soften your attack.
Build Quality & Reliability
These things are built like tanks. The metal enclosures, robust connectors, and quality internal components mean they're going to withstand the rigors of gigging - being kicked, bumped, and generally abused. That's more than you can say for a lot of cheaper alternatives.
Buying guide
Alright, let's talk power supplies. Seriously, don't skimp here. A dodgy power supply can ruin your tone, kill your pedals, and leave you staring at a pile of silent stompboxes mid-set. Voodoo Lab has been the gold standard for a long time, and for good reason - they just work, consistently and reliably, and they sound good doing it.
Look, you're paying for peace of mind. A cheap power supply might seem like a good deal, but it's often cutting corners on regulation and isolation, which directly impacts your tone. Voodoo Lab's aren't the absolute cheapest, but they're a long-term investment - fewer pedal failures, more consistent performance, and a quieter stage.
Consider the number of pedals you realistically run and get a unit with enough amperage to spare - headroom is your friend.

Questions
Are Voodoo Lab power supplies noisy?
No, they're known for being exceptionally quiet. The clean power delivery minimizes noise and hum, which is a major selling point compared to many other options.
Can I use a Voodoo Lab power supply with my vintage pedals?
Absolutely. The clean power and isolated outputs are often a huge upgrade for older pedals that might be sensitive to power fluctuations. Just double-check the voltage requirements of your pedals, of course.
What's the difference between the Pedal Power 2 Plus and the Power Supply 2?
The Power Supply 2 is the newer model with more outputs and slightly better current regulation. The 2 Plus is still a solid choice, especially if you're on a tighter budget.
Do I need a voltage converter to use a Voodoo Lab power supply?
That depends on your country's voltage. If you're in Europe or elsewhere with 230V, you'll need a step-down transformer to use a US-spec power supply. Don't risk it - get the right voltage.
Can I daisy chain pedals off a Voodoo Lab power supply?
While you can use daisy chains, it's generally not recommended. Daisy chaining can introduce noise and voltage drops, negating some of the benefits of a quality power supply. Direct connection to the Voodoo Lab is always the best option.
