DC BRICK Power Supply Info
More than a power supply, this box is a power conditioner as well. Unlike aging batteries, the Brick supplies predictable voltage at all times, keeping your effects consistent from show to show. Its FCLC (Foldback Current Limiting Circuit) provides ultimate protection against power shorts and overloads. Even at full load, you'll enjoy the quiet and cool operation of a fully regulated power supply. But since battery powered effects rarely exceed 30 milliamps each, you're not likely to use anywhere near the Brick's capacity of 1000 milliamps output! Power: Included ECB006 AC power adapter can use a wide range of international wall power from 100 to 240 volts, at 47 to 63 Hz. Supplied with U.S. plug

The DC BRICK Power Supply FAQs
Q: Will my DC Brick power other companies’ pedals?
A: Yes, as long as the effects unit conforms to the DC Brick in terms of polarity and power requirement. Your effects unit must be set for a positive (+) barrel and a negative (-) center. The DC Brick supports 9V power up to 375mA total through all 7 jacks in the front, and 18V power up to 625mA total through all 3 jacks on the right side.
Q: How can I purchase Dunlop products?
A: We always prefer that players purchase Dunlop products at your local music store. However, if your store does not stock the item and is not willing to special order the item for you, you can order directly from us. You will find that you can purchase our products at a better price from your local music store, online music retailer, or mail order companies. We do not discount our prices, as we do not want to compete with your local music store. To order from us, just visit http://shop.jimdunlop.com/ecommerce/ or call us at 707-745-2722 and ask for the sales department. We are open Monday through Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm Pacific Standard Time.

Can I use an ECB004 with my DC Brick?
It depends. Check the label on the power supply. ECB004 adapters manufactured before summer 2011 had a current rating of 150mA are NOT compatible with the DC Brick. Newer ECB004 manufactured summer 2011 or later, which are marked with a current rating of 1A (1000mA), can safely be used with the DC Brick.
Can I change my DC Brick to all 9V outputs?
Yes. By powering the DC Brick with a 9V adapter, the 18V outputs will change to 9V. We recommend that the draw stay at 1000mA. Polarity must be positive barrel/negative center.
