Nice idea but I am not sure how useful it is
RodRed 04.08.2021
It is supposed to be used with a USB power bank to become a mobile power supply. Which actually works fine!
You can also use it to split one output port of your standard power supply into two isolated outputs.

Pros:
- small, lightweight and portable
- get any input from 5 to 18V and transforms into 2x 9V output

Cons:
- The "filtered" output does not seems to reduce any noise compared to a "non filtered", non-isolated PS
- The max output is not 800 mA divided by both outputs, but 400mA in each output so keep this in mind you cannot connect a 450 mA pedal it will not get power enough.
- The hassle of connecting one wire between the power bank and the Engl Powertap might not pay off. I have a Rockboard powerbank and it is direct and you get way more power 2x 1000mA you can power your board directly (assuming you do not have 5 Strymon pedals on it :)

Concluding
I believe getting a Rockboard or Haley Benton power bank is a better option for mobility, but if you only need it to power 1-4 low power pedals it works great.

Practical Power Solution with a Caveat
cloudynoodly 29.07.2025
A very practical device that lets you get 9V power from a wide input range – I used it with a Fractal FM3 running at 12V without any issues. It’s compact, convenient, and perfect for powering standard pedals on the go.

Just note that the outputs are not isolated, and you may need additional filter if you are planning to power digital and analog pedals.
