Dunlop DC brick Issue

-=al=-

I got a dc brick on sat, but it was the last one so it was the display one... but was never given the power chords, :mad: so i had to wait till to today to go and get them, so brought them home and it works alright BUT it doesn't power the pedals to their full capability,


the red LED's on the pedals are not fully lit up, only about half as bright as they are with other power supplies...

I use Mostly Boss effects a dunlop wah and a behringer tube overdrive,

but the overdrive isnt as effective with the dc brick powering it as aposed to a BOSS PSA and a daisy chain, but id imagine the dc brick shud be more than capable of doing so

the 18v outlets work fine powering the pedals, the LED's are fully lit up then


but anyone got any input? its pissin me off

Solution A: Go to Atlantic. Buy a Multimeter for €20. Measure the current coming from your brick.

Solution B: Sell the pedals and brick and buy a multi-effect unit which runs off one psu.

Thats a pity Al. Do as the doc says, get a borrow of a multimeter and see what its putting out. Then check the specs. If its not putting out what it should, get your money back, or get a replacement.

B is not an option and its a pain in the arse aswell as a pity :mad:

my dad's an electrician im sure he can help me sort it out about it,

i was just wondering if this is the case with the dc brick? but i'd imagine no! i read a lot of great reviews about it on all sorts of pedal's

Just see if it's putting out 9V. Until you know for sure whether the unit is working properly or not, you could be just running around in circles trying different things.

Your dad should have a multimeter and you'll know soon enough. If it's faulty, bring it back.

Im getin a multimeter today, but for now i was lookin at it again... and


it turns out I got a marshall adapter with it, So im thinkin thats the cause of the problem, It says it will work with any adapter within the Voltage or Hz given in the manual... So i tried my Boss PSA adapter, - same thing happened... still not 100% powered... But i did never get the proper adapter stated. SO!


Do you think it was being used with the marshall adapter and it has damaged the brick in any way due to the difference in voltages maybe?

or am i talking nonsence

Hmm anyone got any ideas?

Yup on further inspection i was givin the complete wrong adapter...

BASTIDS ima go back n kick up a rumpkus tomorow, which shud be fun since i got the last one...
