I bought an Artec Power Brick from hi-fi Lounge last Sunday...
I was planning on figuring out at what point it'll start to hum and test if
individual regulated and individual hum filtered 8-channel power supply was real or just marketing. So, I lined up 6 pedals.
As many of you know, mapili sa power supply yung mga Line 6 Tonecore pedals and kalimitan, ayaw niyang may kasama siya sa daisy chain. So, pinagsabay ko yung Echo Park tsaka Verbzilla. Hehehe. My DIY power supply can handle both at the same time, without any noticeable hum, but I couldn't add anything else. So, pushing my test further, sinamahan ko pa ng Digitech Chorus Factory, which, while not as finicky as the Tonecores, tends to hum a bit when daisy chained with other pedals, too. Rounding out the chain were a Boss Power Stack, an OCD and a Pitchblack.
I expected the rig to hum very loudly. My plan was to take out one pedal at a time until the rig stopped humming. Surprisingly, I never got the chance to do that. Aside from the typical noise from the Power Stack at high gain, the whole thing was impressively quiet.
Needless to say, the Power Brick performs REALLY well.
I do have a few very minor issues, though. First, in some cases, the DC cables might be too short if you plan on mounting the Power Brick underneath a pedal board. Second, all the DC cables have right angle plugs, so why can't they have a right angle plug for the wall-mount adaptor, too?
All in all, this was a really good buy for me. The only thing left for me to know is how long I can rely on this until it breaks.
