Description
Power your pedals with Ojai-the highest horsepower, most technologically advanced effects pedal power supply of its size. Ojai delivers clean, rock-steady power to your effects pedals in a lightweight and expandable package, giving you flexibility and room to grow.
You get five high-current, individually isolated, ultra-low-noise outputs-each with its own dedicated regulator and custom transformer. Each output provides a massive 500mA of current.
Ojai's dual-stage topology, pre-regulated outputs, optically isolated feedback, and advanced multistage filtering result in a power supply that allows your pedals to achieve their highest possible dynamic range.
Dual isolation
Ojai's all analog circuitry offers two stages of isolation, completely eliminating ground loop and AC line noise issues, allowing your pedals to sound like they were designed to sound.
World tour ready
With automatic international power compatibility built-in, Ojai delivers clean, reliable power to all your pedals, on any stage anywhere you play in the world.
Never run out of outputs
Have a growing rig? Ojai is part of an expandable system. Gain more outputs by connecting additional Ojai units to the 24V Thru jack. Or use Ojai to add five more outputs to our Zuma power supply (sold separately).
Never run out of outputs
Is your pedalboard growing? Gain more outputs by connecting additional Ojai units to the 24V Thru jack. Or use Ojai to add five more outputs to our Zuma power supply (sold separately). Ojai is part of a truly expandable, modular power distribution system that can grow with your pedalboard.
Hear your pedals, not your power
Many popular guitar pedals were originally designed to work with batteries. Since batteries are inherently very low noise and not susceptible to ground loops, these pedals often were not designed to be resistant to noise from power supplies. Our ultra-low-noise design prevents power noise from bleeding into the audio signal, allowing your pedals to deliver the highest possible dynamic range.
World tour ready
Playing gigs all around the world? No need to purchase separate power supplies for your international tour. Ojai has automatic worldwide power compatibility built-in (when connected with the appropriate IEC cable). Whether you're on 120V, 240V, 100V, or any variation in between, Ojai will deliver clean, reliable power to your pedals, even if the venue has dirty power.
Dual isolation
Ojai's all analog circuitry offers two stages of isolation. Each of the five output channels is individually isolated from the 24V DC, and the 24V DC is isolated from the AC input power, eliminating ground loop and AC line noise issues. Ojai also provides dual power regulation: Wide-bandwidth optically isolated feedback loops on each channel, as well as on the input, allow both the input and outputs to adjust for changes, ensuring solid output under changing load conditions.
Energy efficient
Don't let the blue chassis fool you: Ojai is green at heart. Significantly more efficient than linear power supplies, Ojai is able to deliver substantially more current while handling a much wider range of input voltages. Ojai's high efficiency design delivers high-current power distribution in a compact unit, for a small carbon footprint and a small pedalboard footprint.
Design Team
Our power design team has over 25 years of experience in power system design, from developing mission-critical power systems for the aerospace industry, to developing best-in-class power supplies for top-selling power amplifiers, studio monitors, guitar amplifiers, and more. We're using this vast experience to provide clean, dependable power to all of your effects pedals.
Breakthrough Technology
Strymon has solved the switching power supply problem. With our dual-stage topology, pre-regulated outputs, optically isolated feedback, and advanced multistage filtering, we have designed a switching power supply that is actually quieter than linear units.
Audio Testing
To make sure your pedalboard delivers the best sound quality possible when powered by Ojai, we did extensive listening tests with every pedal we could get our hands on, and we audio test each and every unit in our lab. In fact, every Ojai power supply unit goes through the same rigorous Audio Precision testing that our pedals go through. With Ojai, your pedals will sound the way they were designed to sound.

Best way to extend your Ojai or Zuma power supply
I'm using this as expansion from a Strymon Zuma (see my separate review): it adds another five pedal power ports, and connects to the Zuma power supply via a simple cable provided. (Also provided are the individual cables for connecting the pedals - a nice touch, Strymon).
Works fine with no problems. The Ojai is so small and light you don't need to do any hole drilling: hook-and-loop velcro will work fine to stick it to your board, including the underside as I have done.
Because it's Strymon, it's pricey. But a no-brainer if you have the Zuma and need to expand your board. I was daisy chaining a couple of pedals previously on my big board, but think this is a better option for keeping noise and ground looping suppressed.
I was amazed at how the unit is when I got it out of the box. It's tiny.
Supplies 500mA to each output, so it can be used with power hungry pedals such as Strymon's Timeline, Big Sky etc.
Perfect for small-to-medium-sized pedal boards.
