I started building effects pedal power supplies a few years ago when some friends ask me to build some for them. I studied all the power supplies on the market and read everything I could find on effects pedal power supplies. I got hooked on the challenge to build a great power supply at a very good price. Now, I build effects pedal power supplies full time.

I worked in electronics as a computer engineer (electronic specialist) for 35 years and I apply that experience to building power supplies in my electronic shop and I also have a small machine shop.

As for the inventor side of me, I love building high quality power supplies that last and at a good price. When I started I wanted my power supplies to last forever in rough conditions, so I set some high standards. They have 3000 volts spike suppression. They are short circuit and thermal over load protected. They also have a safe zone so the output voltage cannot go too high and damage an effects pedal for any reason. But most of all they had to be very, very quiet. I studied some high end pre-amp power supplies like (John Hardy and Langevin) to understand how they were able to accomplish such silent power supplies, and incorporated some of their ideas along with mine.

In studying pre-amps it gave me an idea for testing the quality of my power supplies. I connect them directly into an amplifier and turn it on full volume then listened to the silence (believe me it took a long time to make it silent) if there was any AC voltage over a few millionths of a volt and you could hear it.

Currently there are no standards for effects pedals therefore to build a power supply that meets everyone’s need is tough. I have met some great people over the last few years building power supplies. I like to think that everyone that buys a power supply from me is like a friend and if they have any questions or concerns they will let me know so that I can make my best effort to resolve their issues and concerns.

For Transistor based-Fuzz and Distortion Pedals.

The Fade Box allows you to simulate worn batteries or Fading batteries, which is useful in transistor-based fuzz and distortion circuits. The Fade Box has four-output connectors that provide 8, 7, 6 and 5 volts DC.

These are fixed voltage and you can use more then one output to run different pedals at the same time - No pots to adjust - so once you find the one you like you can stick with it for great constant tone. Works on any 9 volt DC power supply like VooDoo labs, The Brick, The Regulator or the One Spot. The Fade Box is built to last forever; it is over load protected, and impossible to damage.

NOTE: The Fade Box is not recommended for digital pedals. Modern opamp designs are minimally affected.

• Input: Regulated 9-volt DC Negative Center

• Outputs: Four 2.1mmx5.5mm connectors 5, 6, 7 & 8 Volts DC

• Physical size: 3.19" x 1.57" x .79"

"Yeah dude, I used it with my DOD overdrive preamp, and it gave it the exact dying fade out noise I love to hear! (And dread with batteries)".

Six 9 volt DC outputs.

"The Regulator" 9-volt DC Power Supply delivers a constant 9-volts of DC power to your pedals for your best tone. It will supply up to 1000 milliamps of super clean power with a stunning 1% tolerance. Its short circuit protection makes it impossible to be damaged by a bad pedal or a short circuit.

The slim line transformer is a highly efficient switching mode unit that produces power with no heat loss as well as, leaving access to outlets. "The Regulator’s" high tolerance, fast acting filters will clean up any feed back noise and assure ultra low noise operation 1 millionth of a volt. "The Regulator" is built with a road worthy metal housing.

Eight 9 volt DC outputs.

"The Regulator" 9 DC Power Supply is designed and hand built to meet the needs of guitarist, bass players and other musicians working in the studio and on the road.

I can also build custom power supplies for effects pedals. The power supply listed here has eight 9 Volt DC outlets, it is short circuit protected, filtered, reliable and provides 3000 volts spike protection. I can also provide power supplies with 7-8-9-10-12-15 and 18 volts. If you are interested in a custom supply at a very good price send me an e-mail or contact me through ebay.

"The Regulator" 9 volt DC Power Supply delivers a constant 9 volts of DC power to your pedals so you can achive your best tone from them. It will supply up to 1000 milliamps of super clean power with a stunning 1% tolerance. Its short circuit protection makes it impossible to be damaged by a bad pedal or a short circuit and uses a standard IEC 115 volt power cable with ground to power it.

"The Regulator's" high tolerance, fast acting filters will clean up any feed back noise and assure ultra low noise operation 1 millionth of a volt. "The Regulator" is built with a road worthy metal housing.

• Input: Input voltage 100-240VAC @ 47-63Hz, IEC 6 foot cable

• Output Connector: 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm

• Outputs: Powers eight 9 volt DC pedals 1% tolerance 1000 mA total

• Physical size: 4.75" x 3.5" x 1.25"

• All cables included, eight 24 inch DC cables

• Short Circuit Protection

• Insures great tone for your favorite pedals

• LED in switch indicator for quick visual verification of on/off status

To be sure "The Regulator" will work for you, check the specifications on your pedal to see that it works on a 9 volt DC Negative center connector.

"I have been playing music professionally for over fifteen years and have gone through my share of 9 volt batteries, power supplies, various adapters and cables from a wide array of well known companies and manufacturers, and I can safely say that the custom-built Regulator and accompanying cables is the most state-of-the-art, quiet and hassle-free setup I have ever used. It powers eight distinctive pedals of varying power specifications, milliamperes, analog and digital components. Not to mention, its designer will work with you to guarantee that the unit functions for your custom set-up every step along the way" - Joe Hays Emeryville, CA.

"TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! Super silent power supply. Best there is in my opinion!!!!!" - Tony, AZ.

"I am totally stunned by how quiet everything became and performed. I just did not imagine this little box could make that much difference" - Jerry, Kansas City.
