Very good entry level power supply that is definitely a must if you're using more than a couple of pedals in your chain. The box itself seems sturdy and should deliver enough power for the majority of pedals out there. LEDs on the side are a nice bonus that helps a lot in certain situations.

On the downside, selecting the variable voltages of 2 separate outputs with a pot feels a bit unreliable. However the greatest drawback in my opinion is the plastic low end power adapter and its cable supplying the DC 15V input to the Brick itself. The cable is pretty thin and it might be worth to wind a piece of tape or other form of protection around the parts of the cable subject to stress with frequent use as 15V adapters are not so common as 9 or 12V and you might find yourself in a tricky situation at the venue just before the gig. Also the hum cancelling doesn't work very well, probably due to cheap transformer inside the adapter.

All in all a great buy for the price and a no-brainer if you're struggling with multiple power adapters or daisy chaining. However if you have a little more to spend, I'd recommend a product with a standard mains power input and quality transformer.

Very good power supply
aZu 12.11.2020
Very good power supply station, compact, quite versatile with its features.
And durable: I use it, under my pedal board, since years long time and it still perfectly works as on the 1st day.
No hum or other noises induced into my pedals.
I am perfectly fine with it !

Power for your board
Anonymous 10.03.2014
I bought the Artec Power Brick because I was tired of using
a) batteries
b) a dasy chain
c) One power supply for each effect

I was a little afraid if the Power Brick could handle my different effects with differents voltages. Short answer: YES, it can!

It comes with a collections of different cables in different lenghts wich makes it really easy to access every effect on the board.

You can run up to 8 pedals with power supply
It has 1A max, 8x 9V/100mA and beside that 2x 6-12V flexible inputs.
With the short-circuit protection and hum elimination it is really usable.
It also has 3 LEDs wich could be quite bright and this could be really helpful on a darker stage.

I use it with a tuner, 2 Overdrives, a Wah Wah and a Tremolo without any complain.

Save money on batteries! save the planet too!

The LEDs are great on a dark stage, especially if you leave your picks on your board. It powers everything on a small board, and if you're only running analog pedals, or just want to save on batteries, this is ideal. It's really robust, will last a long time until you upgrade to a bigger board/supply.

Awesome for all kinds of effects
agraphia 30.12.2017
Pretty awesome, to be honest. I expected quality and received the quality I expected. Was pretty disturbed at first when I saw some of my pedals requiring 500 and 800 mAh of power, but was relieved when I learned that all the effects got the power they needed.

Recommended for every-day use!

A surprisingly good product
Etvi 04.08.2013
I bought this pedal power without great expectations since the price was very cheap. The lack of any noise produced by the power supply came as a good surprise.

Some contact problems have occurred with the DC-cables but they get solved by poking and turning the plugs a little. The switchable LED-light on the side of the brick a fairly useless feature but doesn't really bother that much. It's a good idea to chech the adjustable voltage outputs with a voltage meter before plugging in to avoid any damage to pedals.

Great power supple on a budget.
Apollwn 30.12.2013
This little power supply is great for the money. It is small and well made, it will reliably power up to 8 pedals (with the option of two variable outlets that can give up to 12V). More importantly, it does not introduce any unwanted noise or hum in the chain. The one thing that is missing is the option of 18V supply, which would be great for some pedals. Other than that it is very good and for the price you cannot fault it. No need to spend hundreds of pounds for a power supply, this will do very nicely.

Great for the price
Michael S. 639 11.06.2013
Probably you are getting serious about your first pedal board, as I was when I bought the brick. I've been using it for over a year now with no problems whatsoever, which honestly comes as a bit of a surprise.

It has no on/off switch, which kind of annoys me. That is however my only qualm with the product. Otherwise, I've been pleasantly surprised!

Radio interferences
Anonymous 31.03.2015
It causes interference in my medium wave radio. Not the wall wart unit, the power brick itself! Maybe it is not that important for the everyday user, but was quite strange for me.

Small but powerful
JoCa 11.09.2013
Needed something to replace the noisy wallwart I was using. Also wanted the ability to lower the voltage a bit to emulate dying batteries. This PSU does just that, and it's powerful enough e.g. to drive the T-Rex Reptile that's spec'ed to draw 120mA max. This PSU may not have individually regulated outs, but it's very low noise, even with noise prone pedals, such as the Fulltone Fat-Boost. It may be slightly limited in features, but well worth the money.
