The Tone City TPS‑10 is a versatile and compact multi‑power supply for effects pedals that delivers reliable power to even complex setups with its ten individually isolated outputs. With switchable voltages from 9V to 18V, a USB port for mobile devices, and a dual short-circuit protection system, it offers a great combination of performance and reliability. The modern UHS-IC filtering architecture effectively reduces noise and keeps the signal clean, and every output features its own status LED, making monitoring in live or studio situations much easier. Despite its extensive feature set, the TPS‑10 is compact, lightweight, and yet pleasingly robust – making it an ideal choice for mobile musicians and their pedalboards, whatever their pedal preferences might be.
The Tone City TPS‑10 features ten isolated outputs, providing stable power for a entire pedalboard's worth of effects units. Four 9V outputs supply 200mA each, with another two delivering a massive 500mA – enough even for current‑hungry digital pedals. Added to that are four switchable outputs, all of which are capable of 9V and then either 6V, 12V, 15V, or 18V output, each rated at 200mA. An additional USB port (5V/1000mA) powers mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or USB controllers. The two‑stage filtering with UHS‑IC minimises noise, while short‑circuit protection systems ensure safe performance. All of the outputs feature status LEDs, and a sufficient number of DC cables are included in the package for every output. The TPS‑10 is powered by the 12V adapter it ships with, and can be mounted flexibly on or under almost any pedalboard. This keeps things tidy and efficient – with no hum or voltage drops.
The Tone City TPS‑10 is a very effective solution for musicians who need a flexible, noise‑free – and above all reliable – power supply for their pedalboard. With its wide range of outputs, it's bound to find favour with guitarists and bassists who run both analogue and digital pedals – anything from low‑gain boutique drives to complex reverb and delay engines. The switchable voltages also make it suitable for more unusual pedals that don't run on nine volts. For anyone wanting a tour‑ready, interference‑free, and neat-and-tidy board, the TPS‑10 is the thing to build it around. With its low weight and compact dimensions, it'll fit unobtrusively into home‑studio setups just as well as it will in rehearsal rooms or live music venues.
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.
Whether it's in the studio, on stage, or on an experimental pedalboard at home, the Tone City TPS‑10 delivers stable power for a wide range of common effects units. The combination of ten outputs with different power ratings is especially useful, covering both current‑hungry devices like digital reverbs or multi‑effects (500 mA) and classic analogue pedals (200 mA). The switchable outputs also offer flexible voltage options for 6V, 12V, 15V, or 18V pedals such as boosters, overdrives, modulation effects, or anything else that needs a bit more headroom. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the TPS-10 can be mounted under most pedalboards without difficulty. Ultimately, any musicmakers who just want a noise‑free, stress‑free setup will benefit from this device's clean, isolated power supply, combined with its effective filtering and short‑circuit protection. For such a seemingly simple tool, the Tone City TPS‑10 still stands out as a particularly effective way of building a truly stable rig.
