Power Supply for pedalboard

It should be fine unless you have pedals you know can be particularly sensitive to power (Darkglass, Strymon, etc). Even then it will probably be fine in all likelihood. If not you can always return it.

It mainly will feed: A cheap tunner pedal (but quite accurate), a digitech bass synth wah, a TC electronics Spectracomp and TC mini sub'n'up, a Wooly Mammoth clone, a cheap moksy pedal (black rat), a joyo american sound and mooer chorus pedal (queen ensemble). It´s just to play around at home, I mainly stick with the compressor and octaver.
 
I'm using this one:

to power an AMT A-Bass, Keeley Bassist Compressor, Schalltechnik_04 Mini-Vong and Peterson StroboStomp HD. Everything is dead quiet and it sits nicely on my pedalboard. If it is any indicator for the quality of the power supplies you posted, either unit should be fine.
I'm not aware of Thomanns return policy for Portugal, but depending on their policy, you can return it the power supply if necessary.

Thanks. Guess for my needs I will be fine. Never had to return an item of Thomann...hope it still continues!
 
The newest Harley Benton Power supplies have a regular socket for a computer cable. Imo better (more rugged) than the previous ones with a wall warts.
I have an older one with a hardwired cable. It is isolated but there is a tiny bit of hiss.
 
Just bought the Harley Benton ISO-12 PRO and I love it. It has indeed an external power plug but I must say I can't notice neither noise nor problem when powering every outputs.
Honestly the best for the price for a large board and I don't find it really heats after several of playing.
