I was thinking about buying a power brick to power my pedals. I have a dunlop crybaby, TS9 and a Big Muff pi. I notice that the polarity is different for the Big Muff. Do I need to buy an adaptor to reverse the polarity? I was looking at the gator gbus8 or the Dunlop power brick? Any help would be appreciated.

but personally I really like the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+
for several reasons-
1. All 8 outputs are isolated- that means that you will avoid grounding issues and noise issues
2. Because they are isolated, you can wire two outputs together for more power’
3. You can power 9, 12, 18, or 24 volt pedals
4. It has no problems with high current 9v pedals
5. It has a courtesy outlet for hooking up wall warts for pedals it can’t powerOn the Dunlop Power Brick, the outputs are non-isolated, which can lead to noise and hum issues. And you can only power 9v pedals with it.
For you right now, I’d suggest you get a 1spot. You’ve only got 9v pedals and don’t have huge demands. The 1spot is just as good as the DC Brick, and can be had for about 20 bucks. Then you just need to get an adapter for the Big Muff, which Visual Sound sells.
