Does Job, One Caveat

motty 01.02.2018

Great device, powers my pedals, doesn't catch fire etc.

One caveat - I'd hoped it would come with a UK power adaptor. It did not. It came with an EU power adaptor, which is alarmingly wobbly when plugged into an EU->UK power adaptor-adaptor device. Being as the power adaptor needs to be 18V / 2A / center-positive, it is almost completely impossible to fix this problem with a proper UK adaptor. I have contacted both MXR and Thomann on this subject to no avail. If you can find such a device with a UK plug, please let me know, because I can't. The only solution I can think of is to leave the UK and move elsewhere in Europe.

Not that this is a bad solution as such and indeed - especially post-Brexit - it has a great deal going for it in many ways, but even if I do emigrate I'll still want to tour the UK from time to time, in which case the dreaded wobble will be back.

Hence four not five stars.

Good, but overpriced PSU

Matthew Szyłak 08.01.2019

This brick does its job perfectly. The isolated outputs do a hell of a job, no hum whatsoever. The 18v output is there, but I never really had the opportunity to use it. The quality of the build is really good as well (would expect that from brands like mxr) and the PSU is very small which helps out with space management on the pedal board. The only thing about it is the price. 118 is quite a lot, especially that you can get other PSU's of the same quality for a lower price. Overall a good PSU.

Good power supply

Alexi89 28.04.2014

I really like this power supply. It can fit up to 10 pedals, but more importantly, you have the option of powering two pedals with 18V - very useful for those with Fulltone pedals like the OCD that can be powered with both 9v and 18v.

I rated it with 4 stars, not 5, because it is not completely silent, however, for a power supply that isn't isolated, the sound is very good quality in my opinion i.e. not much noticeable hum, and I've gigged with this at loud volumes.

It fits nicely onto a pedal board.

The only drawback is that it came with the European plug and not the three-pinned plug used in the UK so I need an adaptor. Luckily I had one so this is no big deal for me, just an extra thing for me to remember every time I go to jam with my band or play live.

I recommend this, it has made life very easy and I am very happy with how quiet it is.

Well built

Glenn007 28.01.2021

Good unit. Does what it says and is well built. Only downside it that it only has 9v outputs. Would have been good to have a 12v or 18v available.

Great Power Adapter

BillK 18.04.2017

I have been using the DC Brick for quite some time on a nano+ pedaltrain (I have used the velcro material provided in the pedaltrain package and managed to attach it on the bottom without any issues).
The build quality of this product is excellent! Just by holding the brick, you can see the solid build and after having it run for almost a week powering 8 pedals without even getting warm, reassures you for a long lasting product.
In my current setup, I am powering four pedals: Polytune 2, Spectracomp, MXR M80 and a Boss DD500.
Until now, I am very happy with the performance of the PS. Quiet, runs very cool and looks that it can handle a lot more pedals without any issue.

Small in size, feels solid

Infestissumam 10.09.2014

This little power-supply was exactly was I was looking for.
The construction feels very solid and no noise.
Small enough to fit on the underside of my pretty small pedalboard(six pedals).
It would have been nice if there had been some kind of "ear" or threaded hole to use when attaching it to the pedalboard(minor problem tough)
