Versatile, but gets hot!
This is a fantastic power supply with a lot of options for powering whatever you can throw at it. It's very neat and small and the range of cables included in the box really should cover everything. It buzzes a little, but imparts no sound on the audio signal.
The only issue I have with this is the heat; it gets VERY hot. I'm running it on 230V, using 5 outs (9VDC only), but only drawing 1.1A of the available 1.5A, with none of the individual outs drawing more than 265mA. After an hour or so this gets so hot that it would burn your hand. It worries me to the extent that I won't leave this switched on unattended. For this reason it would be nice if it included an On/Off switch.

Does what it says on the tin, and quietly.
T-Rex's Fuel Tank Chameleon is indeed built like a tank - the casing is metal and very sturdy, and the whole unit carries a considerable weight to it. This could be a downside if you are looking to keep a very light rig.
The unit's power is completely clean and having several separate isolated outputs is definitely a bonus, and much more so than others in its price range.
It includes more adapter cables than you could need with it, including a voltage doubler and some different types of adapter for odd or vintage pedals.
A downside is that the only included power cable is for EU-style 2 pin sockets, meaning that I had to go and buy my own one separately.
Another problem is that although it fits nicely underneath, it does not fit with the brackets that come with my Pedaltrain board, thus it is currently stuck on to the bottom with velcro, which I do not necessarily trust with heavy use.
These two points are rather minor, though, for a PSU that does its job and is built very well.

T-Rex Fuel Tank Chameleon
Item was as described, was delivered quick and was in good condition. Came with a UK power supply free, so not complaining on that end. Was slightly upset that there was one Black DC cable missing from the box, either a 50cm or 75cm was missing. All in all, 8/10.

Good product
I think this is one of the best product of this genre. No electrical noise, great flexibility with voltage you can find the right one for every pedal you use. Great selection of cables!
