Caline Pedal Power 5 Power Supply Review – Pedal Board Power Supply – Guitar Effect Pedal Power

This video is a quick review of the Caline Pedal Power 5 guitar effects power supply. This power supply cost me under $35 w free shipping and seems to have many of the same features more expensive power supply units have. Voodoo Labs, MXR, Dunlop and other power supplies will run close to $100 or more for a comparable unit. Isolated circuit power supply for guitar effects pedals. The pedals used in this video include an Ibanez CS 9, BOSS Mega Distortion, TC Electronics Flashback Delay, Cmatmods Brownie and a Suhr Shiba Drive. The Analog Man Sun Face fuzz pedal is a battery only unit, but I love it just the same. This pedal power supply seems to be the same unit being sold by Joyo.

  • Great review! I have an updated version of this supply and it works fine with bedroom and gig playing! @Grave Guitar please let me know if you would like to sell that Boss Mega Distortion pedal you do not use very often. I had one years ago and it was left at a practice spot and when I returned it was stolen. I would love to get another one. I learned my lesson and always bring my equipment home after every jam session no matter how long I have been jamming with the same people!

  • This is exactly the same as the AGPTEK CP-05 Guitar Pedal Power Supply 100% clone. 
    It use a Switching Power Supply which might generate a ground hum in some guitar amp effect loop.It does generate a hum on my EVH 5150 effect loop. But it does not if I just use it on my pedal between my guitar and my amp. Beware…you get what you pay for.

  • This cp-05 is not isolated, but it is have regulated and protecting sirkuit which make better than usual daisy chain, why people compare this to daisy chain? Lol, it is better, if you want better than this and have isolated you need spend more money

  • I just got mine, DON'T BUY IT!
    It's noisy as hell, just unusable. I have a daisy chain of 5 pedals and it's still better than using this shitty brick. What a waste of money.

  • There are a lot of misconceptions about isolated supplies and pedal supplies in general. If your pedal setup is noisy then, yes, of course you have problems. Generally, and I mean in almost all cases, this is down to problems in the pedals themselves no matter how much they prised out of your wallet to get your hands on them. It is always better to treat these problems at source instead of trying to just buy a piece of kit which will mask them.

    With adequate smoothing where it is needed and well thought out and implemented grounding there is no need for an isolated supply at all. If you have a ground loop then sort it out at source, in the interconnections. There is no reason for this to have to occur except when a pedal's grounding is badly designed in itself or when you don't understand what a ground loop actually is!

    If you have digital noise escaping onto your power lines and appearing in other pedals then you have very badly designed pedals too! There is no reason for digital noise to escape back into the power lines, a lot of top flight hifi equipment has digital and analogue in the same case fed from the same supply without any issue at all. But they take care in their designs to not allow a mix to occur. And radiated digital noise should have been dealt with too with correct pedal and cable screening.

    These power supplies are perfectly adequate for well implemented and laid out pedal boards and I would recommend them to anyone who will take a bit of care to not need to use them as a cure for other units' problems. I have used one since they very first appeared, I refused to pay the rip off prices more "advanced" units were charging as I know just how much (much?) there is in them, and they work great for me using a mixture of Sliderig, Dunlop Wah, Marshall Bluesbreaker overdrive and even a cheap RP55 digital multi-effects pedal, (as well as a couple of pedals of my own design). My pedal board is silent simply because I took care of the details and didn't just buy an expensive unit to cover them up. That is rather like buying an anchor to throw out of the window because your car brakes aren't working well enough. It may fix the problem and you stop, but just repair your brakes for Pete's sake. 😉

    As an aside, one real improvement I recommend anyone to look into is to feed a supply of this type from a rechargeable 12V/15V/18V cordless drill battery. With a reasonable sized battery it can run for days without needing recharging. There are battery units (Makita BL 1840 is one example) which have headers available which can slip onto the battery and be made to cable the supply out. Battery DC really can help in problem cases.

  • it's not isolated. sorry. non of those cheap power supplies our isolated. I don't see how they get by with it. if it was truly isolated you shouldn't get any reading on your meter. watch a video where they do the same thing you are doing but they don't get no reading. so again you will not get a reading on a meter if it is a true insolated supply. now this company does offer a true isolated power supply. it's the 06 and the 08. and Ofcorse they cost a lot more then the 05.

  • I always notice that when these low cost pedal power supplies are reviewed that no one checks to see if there are in fact isolated power supplies, and to see if any humming or noise comes through the unit, this is why the isolated power supplies seem to start around $100 plus mark. I dont get it when someone has a fortune in pedals and pedal board cost and skimps out on a power supply for the cost? and if it hums and all the money spent on those pedals for sound were a waste.
