DC Brick mounted underneath a Pedaltrain

I know some of you out there are doing it. I would like to see how you do it on the PT1, or any Pedaltrain.

Thanks.

The Pedaltrain comes with a mounting kit and instructions. At least mine did.

That mounting kit if for a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm looking for how people mount a Dunlop DC Brick.

I would suggest mounting the DC Brick at the bottom of the waste basket. It doesn't have the benefit of isolated outlets that you get with some other brick-shaped supplies, and it doesn't have the benefit of compactness or light weight that you get with other daisy-chain supplies. Instead you get the bulk and weight of a brick, with the hum/noise/interference problems of a daisy chain. Yay!

I don't have that problem out of mine. Maybe you got a dud. In fact, I run two and there is no noise interference from either of them.

I have both my DC Bricks mounted on the front of my pedal board. I just used velcro and just this week had one fall off because of the velcro glue giving out. Some stronger glue will fix this no problem.

It's not a question of having a dud--the issues I described are circumstantial, they will only appear for certain combinations of pedals, or in certain rigs, or certain rooms. I use daisy-chain supplies too, for pedals that do not interfere with each other, and in rig setups that cause no interference.

Well... I'm sure there are better options than the DC Brick. But the fact of the matter is that I have DC Brick, use what if offers, have no problems with it, and don't feel like spending anymore money.

With that being said this thread is seriously lacking pics and examples of how to mount one to the bottom of my PT-1.

I really don't want to have to sift through 30 some "post you pedalboard" threads to try and find a couple of pics I thought I saw.
