Does it all and is super versatile. Includes cables and has brackets for pedaltrain 2 big board
First off I was looking for awhile, and ended up on this. I’m a big fan of TrueTone already, and have some VisualSound pedals. You can see me Jekyl and Hyde V1 in picture!One thing you should know is volts matter most here, with not hurting your pedals! The Ma is not as big a deal outside digital pedals. Most analog pedals can be 5ma to 40ma lots of times. So with the base 9v 100ma slots if you wanted, you could daisy chain 2-4 pedals of that or same on the 9v 250ma. So 9v 200ma effects pedal, is fine on the 9v 250ma+. There you won’t want to daisy chain at all. Mostly you’ll have a little MA left over and that’s a good thing! The pedal will take only what’s needed, and having a little overhead does not hurt!The two 18v are 100ma, but I’m finding a lot of my 18v pedals are running 5-7ma pretty much anyways. So I was able to hook all my pedals up, and still have room for a few more. I did not use the red cable supplied with pack….some kept saying it’s for the DC output…but I’m not sure as it looks like length to me and fit before I powered it on to my 18v. I only wanted to use it on my 18v to show red for my eyes. But better safe than sorry, so I used one of the others.Mostly with the cables the color coding is length here, and then you have a bunch of adaptors. The DOD type adapters you know what to do. But the rest of the “adaptor” cables, I wouldn’t use unless you read up about what each one is for. Most are for the Whammy or odd ball drop effects. They are not just extender cables. The Blue and Purple are long enough for pedals up front or in the way back I found. White and Yellow length great for all middle pedals.So the basic white, yellow, purple and blue are just length. Just look to see if you have a normal 9v analog pedal, and most 99% will work on the 9v 100ma and it’s more MA than you need anyway. So you could daisy chain i mentioned if need be. As most analog are under 100ma and 250ma.I found my digital reverb and delays were mostly 200-500 ma 9v, so this is where you need to look at your pedals more closely. Digital usually need more MA to operate…so just get it in the proper range…you’ll most likely have a small amount of overhead.As far as the 9v sag one..I just use it normal. But I’m sure this would be good for a Germanium Fuzz pedal, to simulate an old battery! I usually just run a battery in my fuzz anyway, because I like the sound. But it is cool you have this feature. The knob isn’t loose that’ll go down or anything. I’m powering a germanium treble boosters at 9v…but may put my Foxxy Tone here for optional Sag. If you feel weird about the sag knob you can always put tape over it.So it’s pretty straight forward and easy to use! Cable colors are length, red colors stay away unless you have a device that needs this…..most won’t.Use the DOD adapters if you have some of those pedals. And remember most 9v analog are way under 100ma, and digital like Strymon and Source Audio will be your 9v 250-500 ma area. The pedals will only pull what they need on the MA side. The 18v are mostly on amp in a box type pedals, and some JHS ones I ran into. Don’t run 18v unless marked…but if it can it gives more headroom and sounds bigger. Like a amp in a box from 50w to 100w sound.Follow these basic rules, and you’ll be setup in a few minutes! Just make sure to trace your cables, or mark them…especially 18v or DC! If only using 9v just tape down the sag if you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars CS12 - your search is over
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2021
I have only great things to say about the TrueTone CS12.

First off, I came from using their OneSpot daisy chain (still perfectly working since 2004), which actually wasn't that noisy. Why the upgrade then? Because we simply shouldn't underestimate the impact of clean power distribution. I know we've all heard this millions of times, but I guess one fully realizes this once the swap is made. Oh, and I also wanted to get rid of all pesky power cables and wallwarts.

I'm not powering any current-thirsty effects, or higher voltage pedals....but as soon as I fired up the CS12, I noticed a change in the consistency and robustness in sound. It seems now like every pedal is happy, drawing what it needs without sharing or splitting. I press on pedals now and there are no hiccups, just solid, continuous sound. I am so happy now with my revamped board...instead of tracing noise, wasting time troubleshooting, running cables, carrying 3 wall warts all around....I can just plug in and concentrate on playing.

This brick comes with everything: owner's manual, several cables of different lengths, a variety of adapters (including 1/8" converters for your RAT or Muff, and battery connector), IEC power cable, and mounting brackets. It does not include instrument interconnects, but at this price you simply can't beat the quality of what you get.

GHOSTFIRE USERS: I started looking for isolated power distribution options, keeping in mind that I wanted to install whatever brick I ended up with under my 19.8" long Ghostfire aluminum pedalboard. I did my research, compared with how the CS12 seamlessly fits the Pedaltrains out there, and started to conceive how I could possibly fit the native mounting brackets with the Ghostfire. I thought I had to make the trip to the hardware store and try to get some brackets for adapting. But alas, thanks to another Amazon reviewer who mentioned one could flip the native brackets and mount flush, I started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I ended up with two tabs lining up with the GF board, and the remaining two seemed useless now. But after some thought I force-bent the two remaining tabs 180 degrees with some pliers, and managed to make them face upwards, lining up with the front of the GF aluminum rail. Everything perfect, now the CS12 (a hefty load) is firmly mounted with its own brackets, and it's not going anywhere. Forget about velcro-taping this brick, or using zip ties....the native brackets are the way to go. The paint will peel of the bracket's tabs due to the bending of the metal but hey, I much way prefer to have my CS12 solidly anchored to my board than keeping the looks spick-and-span. See the pics and judge for yourself. Also, the CS12's top panel (where the brand name reads) towards you, and the dip switches facing the floor. With this new orientation this is inverted: dip switches will face you, and brand's name will face the floor. No biggie, I actually put some low-adhesion tape over the dip switches just to cover them from collecting dust.
Bottom-line: GF users, YES! It CAN be done! Even smoother if you drill small pilot holes before fully screwing the included self-tapping screws. There is enough clearance from the floor if you extend the GF feet. It also fits the supplied GF bag, only drawback is that it will be bulky since the CS12 pops out once the pedalboard's feet are retracted.

Thanks for reading. I apologize for the lengthy review, I just feel I can help all of the potential CS12 (and Ghostfire) buyers. Pull the trigger on this power supply....you won't regret it.
