MXR Iso-Brick

[mmbongo]

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.

My Decibel11 fits my PedalTrain like a glove...but I just have the one. Can't imagine trying to fit 4 of any power supply

The thought of being able to run a G50, Zoom MS-60B, and a Tone hammer DI all from one source, with no noise has me mildly aroused...​

Why can't these PSU companies make something that fits under one of the most popular brands of pedalboards?
Why can't one of the most popular brands of pedalboards make their boards just slightly taller to fit the majority of popular power supplies?
Why can't one of the most popular brands of pedalboards make different height feet to sell? They'd make more money AND we'd all be happy.
I'm in the process of modding the crap out of my Metro 24 to fit a pair of PP2+'s under it. It's a huge PITA.

It's like Steve Martin going crazy at the end of Father of the Bride about having to purchase 8 hot dogs and 12 hot dog buns. Why can't they just sell packs of 8?

The PP2+ will do that

 

[bassrich]

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

My bad

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

Depends on what size Pedaltrain, I think.

Correct. It won't fit under a Nano, Nano Plus, Mini or any of the Metros without modification.

Huge +1!
Add exchangeable/adjustable feet and you've got a board that can be angled to any (practical) degree the musician wishes, not to mention more space under the board for a beefier, isolated power supply.

Well, at least they have hard cases for the Nano + and Metro lines (although you cannot buy one as a separate item ).

Then they'd have to make the cases taller as well.

Yeah, here's a link to a thread I started about this a year or so ago:
Pedaltrain Nano/Mini Mod – Adjustable Feet

It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make

Haven't plugged it in yet, but I just got mine.

It's smaller but thicker than I imagined. The wall-wart is literally 1/3rd the size of the Brick---you can take that as a comment on the Brick, the wall-wart, or both. 10 straight-angled DC cables are included, 24" (I think). The packaging is nice.

So they do exist .

They do!

Also it is more of a silver color than the white that the pictures suggest. I will do a pic if I have a chance.

I buy a lot of stuff from the US and have it posted to Australia - but sadly with this product I think I need to wait until they are available down here to get the correct wallwart.

The wall-wart has the interchangeable plugs. I think it has at least three non-US options.

 

[smeet]

Wall-wart???? Ugh.

So just trying to understand in practical terms, compared to a PP2+:

PP2+: 4 X 9/12v 100mA, 2 X 9v 250mA, 2 X 4-9v 100mA - total 1100mA
ISO: 2 X 9v 100mA, 2 x 9v 300mA, 2 X 9v 450mA, 2 X 6-15v 100mA, 2 X 18v 250mA - total 1900mA at 9v, 500mA at 18v

So the differences are, you get 500mA 18v, 800mA extra at 9v and more flexibility in the saggy outputs.
But, you have a wall wart and a slightly less ergonomic form factor.
Also the PP2+ gives you more potential 12v outputs.
Price is comparable.

Is that about right? Are there other differences?

Oh that's a game changer for me!

Where did you order from?

What does an Aussie plug look like? Quick Googling indicates they are thin and straight but angled with respect to each other. There is an adapter like that and the wall-wart accepts 100-240V.

I got mine from Bass Strings Online. I ordered the last of their stock on Thursday and he said he was getting more this week.

I also thought it looked a bit smaller but thicker, from the pics I saw.
Does the wall-wart look sturdy enough ?

In what sense? I mean, it's a wall-wart. The cord itself is thinner than a 1spot I would say. Not sure about the connections.

I had a Gator GBUS8 last year and when I first got it, I thought that the cables and wall-wart looked a bit frail. Sure enough, it shorted out in less than a year.

The wart itself is big and beefy. The cord, I dunno.
