They also call them simetrical powerssupplys. If you buy a double supply they often add the possibility to couple the two rails. In Series to get a symetrical psu, and you control the voltage with one knob. That is called tracking. Or paralleled for more current.
Building a variable voltage psu is easy, just use a LM317 and 337 but building a good one with protection, constant current mode and current limitation, digital reading ect is a whole different story and if you want to make it nice, in a good cabinet, 4 difpgital meters, quality connectors ect, it is probably more expensive as buying one. The TTI is a very nice example, still regret I decided to save the difference between that TTI and a 50 euro cheaper one from an other brand.
