I trashed my mfos wally Evil or Very Mad

I ordered a frequency central l kit to try it out. $30 shipped to the us ain't bad.

I'll be needing More 12v bipolar power in the near future, anything prebuild that is cheap or kits? Curious what everyone uses.

2 day shipping via grand old amazon.

I'll give this one a try.

although it says dual supply that is NOT a bipolar supply. It just has 2 voltages: 5V and 12V, and the 5V has the highest current output.

The one you linked seems to be a single supply but you might be able to use 2 of those. I do wonder how bad the ripple is with that current rating
and if it is very stable at low currents.

Note that although the labels say V- that is just your GND connection. Also the photos aren't aways correct, I think the previous one you linked
actually had the wrong photo as I didn't see the 5V output.


third time's a charm ?


edit: the RT-65B seems to be closer to what you're looking for, but for that price you'd be better of with 2 seperate 12V supplies and have more current.

I built the Metatronic Mods power supply, very nice. They sell only the PCB but the BOM is easy to fill (I did it with one order.)
