Who's using a DC Brick with their pedaltrain board? And how is it attached? |

Another older one with 'custom' mounted pedaltrain brackets and slight modification to the frame to make it all fit; I also trimmed down the heads of the power adapters where they meet the PP2+ a couple mm so they would insert easily.
*edit* I'm a dummy, I read DC Brick and thought Pedalpower... When I had a DC Brick in my setup, it was zip-tied to/under the pedaltrain.

It holds exceptionally well and can be removed by using fine wire or fish line to cut it; WD40 to remove residue.

It's built like a tank, has eight 9VDC outlets plus one 12VDC and one 12VAC. Also, there's no wall-wart ... it has a standard cord and plug. Expensive, though.

I run one pedal with 18v power supply (AnalogMan Chorus), one pedal with 15v power supply (Radial Tonebone Bassbone), and remaining pedals with 9v power supply. Currently I am using a PedalSnake ( http://www.pedalsnake.com/) between my PedalTrain Jr. and backline. Besides instrument and (edit) xlr cables, my PedalSnake also includes cables to transmit power supply to PedalTrain using a 1Spot for 9v, an 18v wallwart power supply, and a 15v wallwart power supply, all plugged into a power strip/surge protector. Sounds kind of complicated, but it's not. I am considering the JuiceBox since it would allow me to use one source for three different power voltages without having to use three wallwarts.

All done with heavy-duty velcro. You can do this, but space is TIGHT. Pics are posted elsewhere somewhere around here, but here are some pics to give you the idea...:    
Hope these are useful.
Cheers!
