Step into the spotlight with the Tone City TPS‑05, an extremely compact multi‑power supply for effects pedals that delivers reliable, noise‑free power in a deceptively small footprint. Outfitted with five fully isolated outputs – four rated at 200mA each and one pushing a massive 500mA – the TPS‑05 can feed classic stompboxes just as effortlessly as power‑hungry digital units. One special highlight is its high‑grade filtering setup, which uses two‑stage signal cleaning and automatic voltage compensation to keep interference to an absolute minimum. Added to that are individual status LEDs and dual short‑circuit protection, plus the included power adapter and DC cable set. For all these reasons and more, the TPS‑05 is an ideal pedalboard solution for space‑conscious guitarists and bassists who aren't willing to skimp on quality.
The Tone City TPS‑05 has been designed to function as a fully isolated multi‑power supply, capable of delivering clean DC power to up to five pedals at once. With its 200mA and 500mA outputs, all rated 9V DC, it's especially well-suited to power‑hungry digital pedals such as reverbs or delays. Tone City's automatic voltage compensation will reliably smooth out any internal fluctuations, while the dual short‑circuit protection system keeps things safe if anything goes wrong. Operation is straightforward: Plug in the adapter, hook up the pedals with the cables the unit here ships with, and the whole board's good to go. Individual status LEDs on each output provide instant confirmation that every device is being powered correctly. Thanks to its compact build, the TPS‑05 is a great fit for smaller boards, or as an additional supply in larger setups.
First and foremost, the Tone City TPS‑05 is aimed at musicians looking for a compact, lightweight, and reliable power supply for their small or mid‑sized effects setup. Guitarists and bassists running smaller pedalboards will find that the device's array of 9V outputs with different current ratings allows them to power even their digital effects safely, and thanks to its modest size and low weight, the TPS‑05 is especially appealing to players who travel a lot, or just anyone who prefers to keep their rig flexible. It isn't an all‑rounder for huge, sprawling pedal chains, sure: Instead, it really shines where space, weight, and clean, reliable power matter most – for example for singer‑songwriters, hobby players, and occasional semi‑pros. Beginners starting out with a deliberately small setup, too, will find that the TPS-05 is a solid and affordable power supply.
Tone City is a guitar effects manufacturer that is based in China and specialises in manufacturing pedals that are compact and affordable but do not make any compromises in terms of sound or build quality. The company quickly gained a good reputation, particularly among guitarists looking for the sound of boutique gear in a space-saving format. Tone City creates modern interpretations of classic circuits, which are served up in intuitive, user-friendly pedals with a sturdy metal construction. The company’s pedals are renowned for their organic tonal characteristics and impressive dynamics, and they are ideal for pedalboard-based setups thanks to their sophisticated circuit board layouts and true-bypass switching. With an ever-expanding product range that includes everything from overdrives and modulation effects through to delays, Tone City offers musicians a viable alternative to expensive boutique pedals.
The Tone City TPS‑05 is an excellent partner for small to medium‑sized pedalboards that feature mainly analogue effects, perhaps with a handful of digital units. A typical setup might be made up of a distortion, overdrive, chorus, delay, and tuner, all running on 9V power. Thanks to the different current ratings, even more power‑hungry pedals can be seamlessly integrated. With its compact build and low weight, the TPS‑05 is ideal for mobile use at gigs, rehearsals in shared spaces, or recording in the home studio. It'll fit perfectly into the rigs of singer‑songwriters and solo musicians who favour a lightweight, easy‑to‑carry setup, and it also offers a practical and affordable solution for beginners with a modest amount of gear who just need a clean, hassle‑free power source so they can get on with the good stuff!
