So I have one of these. I just took it apart to look. It is toroidal.
But the ports are electrically isolated with no common ground loops. I get no noise from it at all with a variety of pedals. It's on my secondary board now though as my primary board has some pedals that require more current than this can do. 4 ports are 9v @ 100mA, one 9v @ 300mA, one 12v @ 300mA, and 2 variable 6-12v @ 100mA.
For $44 it'll work fine for standard 'old school' type pedals, distortion, fuzz, basic effects like chorus, vibe, etc. It just can't power the more 'computer in a box' type pedals like Strymon's and Mood MkII and things.

If you need to power more digital pedals, consider waiting to see if Vitoos does any discount on the DD12-SV3 this 11/11 sale on Ali. 12 outputs of 500mA each, and I got it for $75 shipped last year.

It has a switching power supply, not linear, but it still seems good. Vitoos is the OEM of Harley Benton and possibly Fender Engine Room power supplies.

"if there are no flaws, changes are inadvisable"?

…something like that.

If this is truly a transformer isolated power supply, it's about the cheapest I've seen, by nearly half. One of the answers in the Q&A section on the website said it uses a toroidal transformer.

Is a toroid transformer any good? Don't know much about power supplies.

I bought this and it's a monster. It's big and heavy but takes a standard IEC desktop computer style power cord. Despite it being big and heavy, it doesn't have a ton of options for voltages, and the amperage is somewhat lacking. It is very quiet, and I believe it truly is an isolated power supply, but I wouldn't pay 100 bucks for this, but 50ish is probably fine. If you need something to power some pedals at home, this is great, but I'd never mount this thing under a pedal board because, as I mentioned, it's big and heavy.

The term "isolated" is used very loosely on many of the cheap power supplies on Amazon. Many will simply have noise filters between what are essentially daisy-chained outputs, or a few smps power supplies in parallel (think several phone chargers in a box which have 9vdc outputs). A multi-tap transformer is the only way to fully isolate the power to avoid noise when using multiple pedals from a variety of vendors. Daisy chained power on a common psu (like a One Spot) can work fine with a few pedals - especially if they're all one brand, but there's no guarantee.

It sounds like it would be a good psu for a recording or home practice board. If you have anything that requires 18v, just power it directly.

Absolutely would be perfect for that application if the outputs fit your needs.

I play guitar in my room only, never live. I have a board with 8 Boss pedals on it and it's powered by a 1-Spot with an 8 output extension. It sounds fine to me and I don't notice any annoying buzz or hum….would I benefit from this power supply?

This looks to me like a rebranded Voodoo Labs Pedal Power Plus 2 which is one of the best and most used in the industry. If that's the case this is a heckuva deal.

It seems to work pretty well, but you need to make sure that the your pedals are supplied with enough amperage. Most stomp boxes need 9volt center positive power at 100mA or less, so most of the ports will work for say 90% of pedals. There is one 300mA 9v supply and one 12v 300mA supply that can be used for small digital pedals, a small synth module, keyboard controller, JHS Colourbox, or a digital reverb that needs a little more power (say 250mA) than a one transistor fuzz (which might need 10mA). Since most things use 9v you can set the 6-12v ports to the middle for 9v.
What won't this power - powerful multi-effects units (HX Stomp etc.), digital wireless systems, keyboards, and some power hungry digital effects like a DigiTech Whammy.
Overall I'd give it a 7/10 for utility or quality and a 9/10 for value. If you are looking for more specialized or more power hungry devices, try a Cioks DC7, which costs 5 times. For 5 times the cost is is extremely bulletproof, has very high amperage output and has an unlimited supply of adapters and options you can by for the system. I have both - one on a fancy board, and one on a much less fancy board. If I was touring or making my living with my rig, I'd use the Cioks, but the Monoprice power supply works for 9 out of the 10 of the pedals I own without any difficulty.

Be sure to post that Vitoos deal if they release it. I'd be interested to give that a head to head test run against my Cioks, Voodo Lab and Indio supplies. Is it small enough to be used discretely on the bottom of a Pedaltrain or Temple pedalboard?

Yeah, it's not quite as thin as a Cioks but it's thinner than the Voodoo Labs supplies.
