No Noise, Way Better than Using the USB
Let's cut to the chase: I didn't want to use batteries (I'm cheapskate, what can I say), so I thought I was being smart when I tried to use the USB port to power my Zoom G1X and my Zoom B1.
Alas, it didn't work as I expected. The USB (especially when used with a charger but even using the computer port) produced a lot of humming noise.
Holding my breath, I ordered the official adapter. It was incredible relief to plug it, turn it on, and realize there was no noise at all! Perfect, exactly what I needed.

Works as expected
Its a bummer that, this adapter isnt included with the pedal, but its understandable since the G1x four is supposed to be mobile and portable, but i bought it because i care for the environment.. :)

From what we bought AD16E is better.
I use Zoom G6 and Flamma FS21 at the same time.
With distortion, power supplies behave differently, I mean buzzing and buzzing.
I have: an old power supply, it’s 20 years old) It works the most silently! It is made large and apparently of high quality, it is handmade. But it doesn’t tolerate voltage surges well anymore((
Next comes the AD16E power supply, I have 2 of them. It's a little buzzier than my old power supply (especially if the Flamma is plugged into the G6's effects loop.
I have more(
"RockPower Power Supply RP NT 22 EU", it seems to be stabilized)) Never buy it, it hums and buzzes very much, it's a waste of money if you are a rocker and play with distortion.
And there is((
"Thomann NT 0910 AC/PSA"
This one buzzes and buzzes even more (This is real hell.
My rock band and I are very upset that choosing a high-quality power supply is so difficult (((
Especially in a music store.
From what we bought AD16E is better. Although Thomann support believes that they all have approximately the same quality, and by this they misled us(.

It's a switching power supply.
And at a hefty price tag i might add. I've got it for free tho.
And why they and everybody else involved in sound equipment don't add the grounds connection circuit for occasional hum removal on both ends is beyond me. Yes, with the grounds design update of the equipment too. Especially at this price point. Thomann's and similar generic power supply's are at half the price.
The construction and design is nice tho, nice strong plastic and a ergonomic "slim" fell are a plus.

Solid.
I use this with Zoom MS-70 cdr multistomp pedal and it works flawlessly. It's well built and doesn't run hot. I'm sure it will continue to serve me for quite some time. Recommended.

Surprisingly compact!
This is the smallest 9 V power adapter that I have ever had. It is much more compact than the BOSS PSA-230S2, which is very surprising given that they both have 500 mA rating. However, it must be said that the Zoom does not have an indicator LED, which is not an issue for me, personally. Also, it lacks the interference suppressing coils, which are present on the BOSS adapter. Fortunately, I have yet to notice any extraneous noise on my Zoom pedal. I already own two of these adapters, and I would buy one again without any hesitation!

Gets the job done
Works great, I got to power up my zoom multi effect and other pedals I got, the cable is long enough. Worth it

Got it free with a Zoom unit, it's alright
Batteries are still quieter on my digital Zoom unit, but this is small enough that you can take it along as back-up.
