MXR Iso-Brick

[Bassmike62]

I posted this in another thread, seems appropriate to have it in this one as well .

"Seems to be a bit of confusion concerning the MXR Bricks, so here goes:7

Not isolated >

From JD's website: "The MXR DC Brick (silver) has eight 9v outputs and two 18v outputs, a change from the older DCB10's (black) seven 9v outputs and three 18v outputs".


Isolated >
(announced at the winter NAMM and soon to hit market)




From JD's website: : "10 outputs to accommodate a variety of voltage and current requirements: two 9V outputs at 100mA, two 9V outputs at 300mA, two 9V outputs at 450mA, two 18V outputs at 250mA, and two variable outputs adjustable from 6V to 15V at 250mA. The two variable outputs can be used to emulate voltage "sag," a drained battery effect sought by many vintage tonechasers". 


Mine will hopefully get in within the next 10 days "

Bumping this - is there any word on the release yet?

Welcome to Bass Strings Online - Your Custom Bass String Shop... had some in stock last week. Apparently they are getting some every week. Some people in the breeder thread ordered some and should be getting them any day now.

My GC has had one for at least a month

Awesome news. Hopefully they get to Australian shops sooner rather than later.

Whoa...GC still doesn't have them online. That's crazy.

Dunlop announced on Facebook yesterday that they're in and about to ship.

The actual ISO ones or just the normal bricks?

Right next to their Delorian time machine?

Looks good mine says DC brick

That is not the same thing.

To clarify, this thread is about this, which is MXR's most recent powersource

Hopefully true.

At the end of July, I was told by someone at MXR's customer service that they would ship within two weeks and when I followed-up last week (after more than 2 weeks), the same person rather curtly said she couldn't give me a date and referred me to my retailer, which I found a bit odd. As of last Friday pm, my retailer couldn't give me a precise date, since MXR didn't specify one.

I needed it last night.

I am one of the people @nshuman is referring to. I ordered mine on Thursday and it's supposed to get here tomorrow. I'll try to give a report.

Sorry, missed that one. Looking forward to tomorrow, then

Oh, I wasn't correcting you or anything. There was some legit confusion about the regular Brick versus the new one. But I was just letting you know that they are starting to leak out into the wild.

I cannot believe how stupid excited I am for a power supply. Mostly because my current power situation is a huge pain. I'm beyond a Mondo and am now up to Mondo + 5 wall-warts (mostly off of the Mondo's courtesy outlet). If everything works out I will have just the Mondo, ISO-Brick, and maybe one slim wall-wart on the Mondo's courtesy outlet.

Gotcha. I'm also amazed at my own level of anticipation about buying and waiting for something that doesn't produce an effect on its own.

Does look like a great PS, but too bad it won't fit under a Pedaltrain

Yeah that's a DC Brick, not an ISO Brick.

Depends on what size Pedaltrain, I think.

 

[nshuman]

The Decibel 11 units are awkward under a pedaltrain as well. Fitting 4 of them under my PT-Pro took a lot of imagination. I am hoping I can reduce that amount with the ISO Bricks. But, realistically, I think I may just replace 1 Decibel 11 unit with 1 ISO Brick. Unless doing 3 ISO Bricks lets me remove 4 Decibel 11s or something.
