The undisputed king
Voodoo Lab has been in the pedal powering business for quite some time now, and still delivers.
What I especially like about their product line is that every output starts from 9V, but can still deliver increased voltage - either through the dip switches, or by combining outputs through their special cables.
This makes that every output has a potential usage. While it may seem convenient from other manufacturers to provide 18V outputs, such outputs might be wasted if you only have 9V effects on your board.
The unit is perfectly silent and, as can be expected, each and every output is isolated.
Lastly, their customer support is excellent. Their response to my inquiry was fast, clear, friendly and with a sincere undertone to really want to help me along with my question.
I purchased this unit only a short while ago, but I've been using a Pedal Power 2 Plus for years now, without any issue.
Highly recommended!

Highly featured, but a question mark over reliability
I have been using Voodoo Lab power supplies for many years (PP2 plus, ISO-5 etc) on my guitar pedalboards, and have always found them to be excellent.
I was putting together a bigger board, and decided to get a Mondo as it would be able to power the whole thing, including a couple of large draw effects (strymon timeline and mobius).
As expected, I was able to power everything from its own, isolated output, with no background noise or earth hum.
I was very happy with this unit, until a couple of months ago, when during a rehearsal half of my pedals stopped working. I discovered that one bank of outputs (normal 9v side) were completely dead. There are essentially two power supplies in the unit, one side for normal 9v pedals, and the other for higher current outputs, that are linked together, and after some research online, I found that one side failing can be common problem with the Mondo.
Thankfully, Voodoo Labs products have a long warranty, and I simply returned the unit to Thomann for repair.
Although I got the unit back as good as new, I was without a power supply for almost 5 weeks, and my confidence in the reliability has been undermined. There are a number of similar power supplies available from companies such as CIOKS and Strymon, and if I were buying again I would definitely consider one of those options.

You can light an entire city with one of these...
I used to have two Powerplants plus a few 18V adapters under my pedalboard which worked pretty ok but not the best solution and I always had a level of uncertainty what would happen if one died on me during concert and twice it happened, but luckily after unplugging and re-plugging it was okay and the show was saved. but since I bought the Voodoo Lab everything is been rock solid. These are just great and I've never even heard the fan working. they do an amazing job in keeping this giant cool. You'll love your purchase.
Cheers to Thomann for their quality service and fast delivery.

Very effective, silent operation, couldn't be better!
If you're running a lot of high power digital effects, or have a lot of pedals that you'd like to have isolated, then this power supply is perfect! I've seen a lot of people running a few of Voodoo Lab's Pedal Power II along side each other, but this model is more or less the same price and saves a bit of effort. Plus the "mondo" gives you more high power outputs which is ideal for things like Strymon and Line 6 gear.
Being a bigger unit than the Pedal Power II I was a little worried that it wouldn't fit under my Pedaltrain Pro, but it fits perfectly with the supplied mounting brackets.
As a power supply should be, this thing is silent when in operation, and totally transparent. Having all isolated outputs really helps keep your tone pure, eliminating any kind of mains hum!

Voodoo Lab Pedal Power Mondo
Wow! Chunky, powerful, a REAL toroidal transformer, (2 actually, or perhaps the second is more accurately a C-core) both in a steel enclosure, so minimal mains hum induction to guitar pickups. An ultra miniature fan, quietly keeping things cool inside. Isolated outputs, so no ground loops. Smaller than expected and fits nicely under the pedalboard. No need for extra socket outlets under the pedalboard stuffed with "WallWarts". IEC mains connector, so easy to connect a lead in any country.

The real deal
100% satisfied. Used it for like 6 years. I also own the Truetone with 14(?) outputs. Same quality. Both ideal for big pedalboards.

Perfect Power
Cant go wrong with pedal power mondo.
previously i was using another power supply and i was getting some parasites in my tone from the unisolated power, now there is complete silence. I never realised what good clean power can do for your tone. Amazing!

Awesome.
I am very very happy with this power supply. After some years I write this review because till now it's the best PS I bought, very stable and super sturdy.
I power 6 to 10 pedals and it's always top!

Can't Fault It, Perfect
Cannot fault this, fitted perfectly underneath my Pedaltain Novo 24.
Powers everything perfectly, even my Digitech Whammy DT which has always needed its own original power supply otherwise a lot of noise is produced, but with this, there is even less noise from it than the original adapter.
Now everything can be powered by just plugging in the one cable as opposed to needing two sockets, frees up space to due to me having my previous power bank on top of the board, in the pedal space

Fantastic addition... no noise or hum!
I play clean and this is perfect for both gigging and recording! I upgraded from a Gator G-Bus 8 and never looked back. Solid build! Would highly recommend sucking up cost if you value your sound!
