NU-X Zeus Isolated Power Supply

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.

From NUX:

"As a musical instrument brand, NUX already built lots of pedals and multi-effects. For users who use high gain distortion pedals always have headache with the power supply. The DC daisy-chain can drive several pedals, but the ground noise will occur easily especially while you connect analog pedals and digital pedals at the same time. To be an industry pioneer, NUX has the mission to build a reliable, extreme-low-noise, light-weight, universal power, high current, all-isolated power supply.

Zeus was the god of the sky and thunder. His most famous power is the ability to throw lightning bolts. That’s why we name the power supply ~ ZEUS. Zeus provides 10 high current isolated DC power. It equips 10 isolated switching power transformers to offer clean and stable source for your pedals. As a modern musician, guitarists like digital post effects like Eventide®, Strymon®, …etc. So Zeus comes with 3 adjustable high current outputs (9v/500ma | 12v/300ma | 18v/200ma), and 1 tweakable high current output (6v~9v~12v). It means you can use Fuzz or Phaser with the tweakable output to find the best sound.

For working musicians, Zeus has USB port for your mobile device charging. Zeus’ universal AC power in can let you work all the world without any AC mistake. It’s reliable and durable to power your pedals.

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.

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."
