T-Rex Fuel Tank Junior

Bought this to fix daisy chain problems.

It's well built, well packaged and generally pretty solid. However, it doesn't appear to power a couple of the boutique pedals on my board properly which is concerning. They have no life at all, just the odd flickering LED, and one still has a pretty aggressive hum when engaged. I've swapped both of these pedals out for duplicates of the same pedal and the problem persists. Both pedals expect to receive the usual 9v supply. It functions well with other less demanding pedals (it's fine with an all BOSS board for example), but if you're running boutique pedals then try it out before you jump in. It's a lot of money for something that doesn't immediately do a better job than something you can pick up for 10% of the price...

I've tried troubleshooting this and can't find any reason for the problems other than the Fuel Tank. I will of course update this review if and when I find a solution/reason for the problems.

I bought this as a smaller, throw in the gig bag, version of it's larger brother, the Fuel Tank Classic.

It does everything you'd expect it to - delivering clean, reliable power to your pedals. The ability to switch voltages was much appreciated on a recent tour of Japan.

My only concern was that my T-Rex Fuel Tank Junior shipped without several of the included power cables, such as the voltage doubler and shorter length cables. These were mentioned in the product description, so once this was brought to Thomann's attention the problem was quickly solved.

I use T-Rex Fuel Tank Junior as my only power supply with T-Rex 56cm pedal board. Let's be honest - how many effects do you need to play with at once? 5 isolated outputs that can work with more than 5 effects, and 18-volt gear can also be connected - that is all what I have ever wanted. Noiseless, easy to use, durable metal case and really good-looking peace of gear that is small enough not to take much space, and fits under the t-rex pedal-board perfectly. The voltage switch (115v/230v) makes it ready for playing abroad and it is safely hidden behind a plastic cover so it is impossible to change settings by accident. There is really nothing i don't like about this item. Highly recommended!
