NU-X have built an enviable reputation as guitar pedal experts and great guitar sound starts with the power source. Using standard 9Vdc power adaptors usually releases unwanted noise into the signal chain and unstable power can adversely affect the operation and even life expectancy of some boutique pedals. Zeus is an extremely low noise, high current power supply designed specifically for audio effect circuits with 6 fully isolated 9V outlets, 3 switchable 9/12/18V outlets and a fully variable 6-12V outlet. This lightweight and efficient power supply has the flexibility and reliability to run a full pedal board, even with multi-effect units added, with problem-free operation.
Features
Transient Currents (Powerful)
The current of an effect pedal (especially power-hungry modern DSP effects) is different at the moment of power-on and normal operation. The transient current often exceeds the normal operating current by 1 to 2 times. Zeus can effectively provide more than 2 times the instantaneous start-up current.
NOTE:
1-6CH: >1100mA
7-10CH: >600mA
USB 5V: >2.1A
Tweakable Dial Control (Sag or Rise for the best sounding)
Tweakable dial controls to adjust variable voltage: 6V~12V.
For the picky musicians, they care about the tone, especially for some Ge Fuzz pedals, Phaser, BBD Chorus, and Overdrive pedals. You have to adjust the voltage carefully to get the best sound and dynamic.
Optical Negative Feedback Control (Sound like designed to sound)
Why do musicians need all isolated power supply? As we mentioned in advance, the ground noise is annoying, and the best way to solve it is individually isolated power. Just plug it, and you are good to go!
The main advantage of the switching power supply is greater efficiency (up to 96%) and lower heat generation than linear regulators because the switching transistor dissipates little power when acting as a switch.
Other advantages include smaller size, and lighter weight from the elimination of heavy and expensive line-frequency transformers. Standby power loss is often much less than transformers.
Zeus' two stages of isolation topology can eliminate ground loop and AC line noise issues completely.
A feedback circuit monitors the output voltage and compares it with a reference voltage. Depending on design and safety requirements, the controller may contain an isolation mechanism (such as an opto-coupler) to isolate it from the DC output.
Extremely Low Noise
No matter low currents pedals or high currents DSP pedals, Zeus all handles well.

UL Certification (Safety)
To built a commerce product, we have the responsibility to make sure the safety. It costs us more than 1 year to reach all the requirements of UL. We’re proud to say the ZEUS isolated power supply is not only a professional musician’s tool, it’s also a GREEN power.
Universal AC Power (100V~240V World Tour Ready)
As a working musician’s tool, you don’t need to worry about the AC voltage, just choose the specific IEC power chord and plug, plug it, and you are good to go.
Self-Regulated Output (Ultra Low Impedance)
Unlike other switching power supply which uses multi-stage filtering to eliminate the noise. The self-regulated output design of Zeus which has ultra low impedance that can offer you clean power and keep great dynamic! Too much filter will kill the harmonics and dynamics.
Abundant DC cables(Multiple Applications)
Besides regular DC cables, reverse polarity cable, 3.5mm mini plug cable, Zeus offers HX current doubler adaptor. Zeus can even drive LINE6 HX-STOMP with no doubt.

Note: If you want to parallel 2 outputs to double the currents, please use 2 outputs from output 1~6. And make sure the loading is less than 800mA to keep the safety.
