18v PSU advice please

[iBudd]

Hi all I just picked up a Templo T2 https://templodevices.com/products/t2-multi-effect 

which needs 18v to run. But the catch is it needs a dedicated linear PSU, a switching PSU (like the Dunlop ECB004) won’t do. Any recommendations for such a device?? Or even somewhere in the UK that sells the ‘silent’ Fulltone switcher?

Why a switching does not do? If it is done well, it will work as well as a linear power.

The Templo guys (guy?) advise linear (and a dedicated psu). I had an 18v switching one to hand and voltage leaked into the audio as soon as I turned the tone up. BUT the one I had was center-positive with an polarity reverser extension, so frustratingly I don't know if it was the reverser or the switching nature of the psu that caused the issue.

People seem to like the Dunlop one (is it the only option) but I also gather that one can be squealy under the wrong conditions, and this pedal seems particularly sensitive.

If a linear 18v centre neg UK psu exists I'd happy to pay a few quid more rather than start buying more stuff to return.

I’ve just been recording a review of the EBS Runsten. It has isolated outputs that can be configured for 9, 12, 18 or 24V as well as being able to deliver enough current to power a Neural DSP Quad Cortex alongside other pedals. 

 

Worth a look!  https://ebssweden.com/content2/accessories/ebs-runsten-multi-dc-power-supply/

Wow, I’ve just been checking out the website and the other pedals on offer. They offer some really interesting products, I’d love to hear those 4 compressors!

wow that looks well spec'd and I'm a big fan of EBS gear, but on the expensive side for this one use - plus Templo recommend a dedicated PSU for the T2 as apparently it doesn't like multi-output PSUs. Fussy little thing isn't it.

they do make some amazing looking stuff - getting it from Canada ain't cheap but I just had to pick up the T2 as I've wanted a Maestro Rhythm and Sound ever since hearing Melvin Jackson's Funky Skull LP. At the risk of derailing my own thread...

I’d listened to the track and I now I have an insatiable urge to strut through town… 😊

You're very welcome.

I did derail my own thread didn't I!

I understand that some switching power supplies conserve energy by going into a burst fire mode on low loads, and the power-up / power-down is audible as noise on analogue circuits.

It is true thay a switching PSU may be horrible, but not all are. A linear may have insufficient filtering, too.

 

Yes, a list of functional PSUs could be very nice. As an example, I have heard nasty comments on 1spot, but my newer units have been good in smaller boards.
