All user reviews for the T-Rex Engineering Fuel Tank Junior

After using it for several years Fuel Tank Classic to power my pedalboard (7 pedals), I consider this brand as a benchmark for power supply.

I subsequently reduced my effects pedals 2, sometimes 3, so I looked for a suitable power supply to the small dimensions of my new config. Junior therefore seemed like the logical choice.

The box actually contains a large number of cables (see other reviews for details), and the power supply keeps a case of robust metal appearance, and therefore quite heavy. Electric side, the power cord does not have land and outputs are not isolated, contrary to legend maintained by the ambiguous technical specifications of the manufacturer.

In the end, I sold and replaced by a single 9V transformer, "1 Spot" from Visual Sound, comes with a string nickel.

# How long have you been using?
A little over a year, and every day.
I fed the following sets without problems (so all pedals on)
TU3 Boss / Boss DC-3 / MXR M109 / Boss PH-1r / TC Electronics Shaker Vibrato / Boss PS-5
TU3 Boss / Boss DC-3 / MXR M109 / Boss PH-1r / Boss PS-5 / Boss PS-5
TU3 Boss / Boss DC-3 / AngryTroll Boss / Boss PH-1r / Boss PS-5 / Boss PS-5
and there was even what to do to connect small shift pedals for testing!

# What is special that you like most and least?
Most: compact, no breath, no buzz (the only one that feeds my old Boss DC-3 in silence) solid (cable and power supply itself) and finishing tops, well pack complete with all wire and cable dedicated to power almost everything.
Minimum: Only small configuration not too greedy (old exit Line6, large well-intensive digital pedals and multi-effects)

# Did you try many other models before buying it?
Yes, artec which was fine but allowed only supplies 9V. Here, you can double two 9V outputs to get 18V.

# How would you rate quality / price ratio?
Excellent. For the same price, we supply only 4 standard Boss, the gain is so much side "money" that side "footprint".

# With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes. Especially since it is fixed on my Pedaltrain Junior without stress. If I change, it is only for a feed with a larger total amperage to power my Zoom G3. it is certain that I shall deal first with the model of this brand.

The Fuel Tank Jr. is a power supply with 5 separate outputs (9V/120mA)
Are using is very simple, each output is 9V then have each output connected to a pedal.

But it ia 2 bonus, a Y-cable that uses two out of the pedal for pedal powered a 18V because 9 +9 = 18.
And the bonus is a two wire garland that allows using a single outlet powered 5 pedals.

So in the end you can pedal powered 9V to total ten or eight 9V and 18V.
But attention to 120mA per output, consumption keep the pedals before connected otherwise it shocks can be powered mainly by the use of gold garland (the sum of consumption in mA of all pedals connected the garland is not exceeded 120mA).

Anyway the box is solid metal, T rex gives 5 cables short, 5 long, 1 Y cable for 18V powered, a garland for cable supplied as standard pedal 5. I use it every day for three years and I've had no worries.

So super useful on a pedalboard so do not have to move the pedals, no batteries to change that ultimately cost a very expensive (in three years of use it has been more than repaid by the non-use of batteries), one of best value for money.

I've had 2-3 years. I am a bass player and I use it to amplify a tuner, a bassball, a fuzz, overdrive a preamp and a Tech21. With this config I plug into any amp or any sound, it always sound like a squadron of B27 in Leipzig over a stormy day. The Junior is perfectly suited to my pedalboard. And since I do not need voltage "exotic" enough for me. For others, it will fall back on other power supplies of the brand.
I like its small size, its rock solid, numerous cables for the connections that come with the little gizmo and pretty face red. The cable to power it also comes with it could have been a little longer ... is the only downside. All rooms are equipped with sockets on the front of the stage and if you forget the extension, we are leaving to go play with his pedals in the middle of the amplifiers. It's a little nerd (but almost all the power supplies cables are too short, that my head does not even touch the ground).
The value is ok. I have not tried the blue Harley Benton ugly but again, I would do exactly the same choice. There, I advocated.

Power supplies for pedals: 5 out 9V DC (120mA max each) isolated (it is the diffrence with the power supply cheaper) comes with several Cables (10, 25, 50cm) and to double of 18V and a garland with five outputs, so what food pedals 9.

I started feeding my pedalboard with a standard 9v power supply and a garland: the horror a buzz standard. So I bought a 9v power supply BOSS but it made no difference.
I am well informed and the conclusion to have a silent power supply with output indpendante and isolates to be of rsultat sr. The voodoo lab onreuse as I leaned over to the t-rex. And that happiness, not a breath ... Total silence!

One small snag, it is a little low amprage to power a multi-purpose zoom style B2 or G2. So 9 / 10.

So if you are looking for zero or zero hummm buzz for your pedals and effects without breaking the bank either (100), junior is the fuel tank you need.
