Palmer PWT 12 Mk2 at the moment.
Also used Joyo JP-02 with no issues.

MXR Brick
I’ve had the same one for 12 years ?
Zero issues, zero hum
Had one sitting in a box since 2013. Finally built a small board inside an old briefcase.
Plugged it in, works great. No noise or hum yet.
Previously had a One Spot.
The only time I had hum with that was when we had to use a generator.
That gig is coming up in August. We'll see if the Brick has an issue.

Cioks DC7. Fairly low profile. Switchable voltage. Outlets on two sides — very handy for preventing tangle. And the USB is a nice addition. I keep setlists and notes on an iPad and don’t need to carry another power cube.

Several Harley Benton from the Powerplant ISO-Pro series. But be careful NOT to buy the old blue Powerplant - it's horribly noisy.
It's the ISO-Pro series.
I had some hiss-issues with one (digital) pedal and the small ISO-5, but everything else worked fine. (my main pedalboard for gigs, my back-up/living room-board home; a pedalboard with reverb-effects for vocals; a combined board for acoustic guitar, uke, bass, looper). Small, nearly 100% no noises (except the one mentioned above) and really budget-friendly pricetag.

I would avoid the cheap Amazon power supplies. Many of them claim to be isolated, but aren't. Kind of defeats the purpose of upgrading from a daisy chain if the power brick you're using is really just a daisy chain inside a neat little box. A good power supply is a smart investment, don't go too cheap unless you want to buy it all over again down the road.

Well got the NuX Atlantic in last night. Gonna hook it all and today and see how it likes the TrueTone 1Spot.

If it all plays nice I’ll leave it. But I’m not sure.

Well pedals are all set up at least.

Plugged the daisy chain in just messy to try. I’d spend more time making it nice if it worked…. IF…

Yea, instantly high pitch ear shattering scream. I couldn’t turn the amp off fast enough lol.

I was thinking the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power X8 would be the 8 I need. But noticed they had other 8 Inputs. So may look into those. I am trying to stay away from most Amazon ones. I know they are mostly daisy chains in disguise.

A couple have mentioned the Harley Benton ISO Powerplant. And I have to admit. That really does seem to be a heck of a deal and the real deal at that.
Saw a review on YouTube. Very cheesy guy, pretty hard to watch. But he actually was able to verify it was actually isolated.

Well I’m stupid. It actually does work. Quite well too. I didn’t realize until I sent a pic to a buddy. The screaming was my fault. Due to the delay setting. 1/8 on max repeat lol

I started to build my own custom pedalboard to house a Voodoo Labs Mondo and 12 pedals, but progress has stalled since I went to the Dark Side with the Boss GT-100.

I use Voodoo Labs pedal power 2, I've used it, trouble free, for many, many years. If it were to ever give up the ghost I would maybe consider Strymon as a replacement.

Strymon Ojai R30, nice, but the power supply is another brick.

I'll soon experiment with two lithium Talentcell batteries. One is 3A 24V and powers my Quilter board amp well. The other will power through the Strymon or some daisy chain.

It's nice not to have a lot of cords lying around.

Yea. I guess I can run the TU3 with a 9v battery. Leaving 7 pedals. I was just hoping to get 8
I thought one could power other pedals with a daisy chain from the output jack on the TU3. So use the TU3 as a power source for other pedals.

Joyo Powertune for my main board, Caline something or other (with the cool blue lights) for my middle board and daisy chain from Boss wallwart for my two smaller boards. All work fine.
