Members gretschzildjian Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey all, Since my pedalboard is getting bigger and bigger, I'm considering getting a Dunlop DC Brick for power. The MIA Bassballs re-issue I got hold of recently has a mini-jack socket to plug the power in. I also heard (but ain't sure) that the Bassballs has reversed polarity (+ on the tip). Anyone has any experience with the DC Brick? Should the Bassballs function well with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jamacuco Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hello Vaas. 'Been time! I use the CIOKS Big John power unit with my pedals (including an American reissue BassBalls) and so far so good. Just make sure you order the mini-jack power cable adapter.

Members UK_Lefty Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 For a quarter of the price of a Jim Dunlop DC Brick I bought a similar piece of kit from an electrical retailer with outputs for ten 9v pedals. If you shop around on the internet/ ebay you can find a generic substitute that'll do the same job for less cash. Assume it would be fine with a Bass Balls - mine drives four different pedals of different makes and sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T. Alan Smith Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 Can't help with the specifics, but I use the Brick and it's worked well for me thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ThudMaker Posted February 4, 2008 Moderators Share Posted February 4, 2008 The 12v is a nice addition for many wireless, but the Brick has 3 18VDC outlets. If either the Brick had the 12Vs in addition to its 18V or the T-Rex had the 18V in addition to its 12V outlets they would both be winners. To the OP, you could always go to Radio Shack and get a little adatper that changed the polarity of that one cable if it didn't originally work properly with the bass balls.

Members gretschzildjian Posted February 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 6, 2008 I can't find it anywhere on the pedal. Does the Bassballs have reversed polarity or doesn't it? Or otherwise, how do I find out without blowing the thing up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
