thinnest isolated power supply for mounting under pedal boards
Clean power supply, with electrically isolated plugs (no shared grounds or 9-volt power rails), lightweight, and most important for me: the LOWEST PROFILE (just under 1.25" tall) of any isolated power supply so it can fit UNDER a slanted wooden pedal board.I have an old Gator pedal board with custom tote bag (model GPT-PWR) and a power supply mounted underneath -- the Gator 8-port G-BUS-8 (Gator Pedal Board Power Supply (G-BUS-8-US)). One day my pedal chain started sounded super hissy -- tons of high-pitched white noise. I eventually diagnosed that it was the power supply that was failing, not the pedals (had to disconnect and check each pedal on its own with a 9-volt battery).I did a ton of web searches for high-quality isolated power supplies and as far as I can tell this is the thinnest one made. Yes, it only has 6 output ports whereas the G-BUS-8 has 8. But if you have more than 6 pedals you can get a daisy chain cable and run several low-power pedals off one of the two 500 mA outputs. For example, here's a 3-to-1 cable (Andoer Caline 3 Ways Daisy Chain Multi-interface Connecting 1 to 3 Cable Cord Copper Wire for Guitar Effects Power Supply Adapter), and here's a 5-to-1 cable (Truetone One Spot Multi-Plug 5 Cable). Yes, using a daisy chain cable defeats the purpose of an isolated power supply for the pedals that are chained together -- I'm just saying, if you need more than 6 pedals powered with the CS6, there's a simple way to do it.Finally, there is no obvious way to attach this thing underneath a wooden pedal board with screws -- the installation video on the Truetone web site shows how to do it for thin metal only. I decided since the unit is so light (1.3 lbs) I would try using velcro strips. I put 3 strips of hook velcro across the top of the CS6, with matching loop strips underneath the board, and it seems VERY secure under there.

Fits under pedaltrain nano plus!
I downsized my board to a pedal train nano plus and my voodoolab pedal power 2 no longer fit. When mounted, it fits just as perfectly (tried velcro first but it made it a bit too high). The mounting instructions were very say but I still managed to drill one hole slightly off despite the template. I just drilled another hole right next to it to widen and problem solved. The screws don’t stick out at all on the front side, but I would recommending drilling through the Velcro so that screw head sticks out as much as the Velcro - very small amount- and it’s then even surface.Power seems to work great and came with all the cables I needed. Love it!

Powered HX Stomp
Wanted to get rid of the HX Stomp brick. Used a Voodoo Labs current doubler with center negative polarity to combine the two 500ma outlets into one input to the HX. Plenty of additional power for remainder of my small board. Have room for an additional pedal on dedicated line, and could daisy chain for more. Well thought out supply lines of various lengths. Great temple for easy drill and mount with no brackets needed. No noise. Solid value for money.

Solid built, zero noise
Perfect power supply, with zero noise. Build quality is excellent and comes with a variety of different length cables and adapters. Ideal for a small pedalboard.

Good compromise for tiny boards.
I use this under my on-stage mini pedalboard and it works OK. The build is pro quality and it works fine, but I need several more outputs for my mini pedal rig, so I have to daisychain a few pedals, which defeats the purpose of having the fancy supply. I mounted it with low profile dual lock and it holds well, but it has to cover a few of the cable-routing slots when mounted and makes it hard to route the cables cleanly on my particular board.Overall, it's a great compromise between pro quality and a tiny form factor. I can't use larger supplies under this tiny board and this one was recommended, but it wasn't made specifically for my board. Good enough. Will probably last years.

Decent power supply
Since I haven't had it for a long time, I'm not certain about longevity, but I do think this works well, is sturdy and doesn't have a wall wart power supply. It does mount under a metro pedaltrain 24" flat pedal board though, but just barely. It also didn't come with brackets, so to mount it you'd need some brackets of your own, or just zip-tie it. I like that it has toggles for 9-18V. so I can flex it out.
