Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Dunlop DC-Brick Multi-Power Supply.

Comparisons

  • The Truetone CS series, particularly the CS7, is preferred over the Dunlop DC-Brick for its fully isolated outputs, reducing digital noise issues.

    Source
  • The Truetone CS series uses a standard IEC power lead, favored for ease of replacement compared to the DC-Brick's wall wart adapter.

    Source
  • The Walrus Aetos is praised for being extremely quiet with all 9V outputs, preferred by some over more complex options.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • The Dunlop DC-Brick is essentially a daisy chain in brick form, lacking isolated outputs which can lead to noise issues with digital pedals.

    Source
  • The Dunlop DC-Brick's reliance on a separate wall wart adapter has been noted for potential reliability issues by some users.

    Source

User experience

  • Users with digital signal processing pedals, like the EHX Nano POG, report high-pitched whine due to lack of isolation in the DC-Brick.

    Source
  • Owners using the DC-Brick for small setups with only four pedals report no noise issues, suggesting it may work well for minimal configurations.

    Source
  • Users running 12 pedals on the DC-Brick note that while it can be quiet, certain pedals, like fuzz, inherently produce noise regardless of power supply.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • For setups including digital pedals such as a POG, a power supply with isolated outputs is strongly recommended to prevent noise interference.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • It's recommended to place noisy pedals early in a daisy chain to prevent interference with pedals further down the chain.
