What does "isolated outputs" mean on the Iso-Brick, and why is it important?

The MXR Iso-Brick features 10 fully isolated outputs, meaning each output has its own independent power supply. This prevents unwanted noise, hum, and ground loops that can occur when pedals share a common power source. It ensures your pedals receive clean, consistent power, resulting in a quieter and more professional-sounding pedalboard.

What types of pedals can the Iso-Brick power?

The Iso-Brick is incredibly versatile, offering a wide range of power options for almost any pedal. It includes outputs for standard 9V pedals at various current ratings (100mA, 300mA, 450mA), two 18V outputs for higher-voltage pedals, and two variable outputs (6V-15V) for unique power requirements or simulating dying batteries.

How do the variable outputs work on the Iso-Brick?

The two variable outputs on the Iso-Brick allow you to dial in any voltage between 6V and 15V, each providing up to 250mA. This is perfect for pedals that require specific non-standard voltages, or for experimenting with "sag" effects by lowering the voltage to simulate a dying battery for unique tonal characteristics and sounds.

Is the Iso-Brick compact enough for most pedalboards?

Absolutely. With dimensions of just 4.7 inches wide, 2.9 inches deep, and 1.8 inches high, the MXR Iso-Brick is designed to fit comfortably on most pedalboards, even those with limited space. Its compact size makes it easy to integrate into your existing setup without taking up too much valuable real estate.

What kind of cables does the Iso-Brick use for connecting to pedals?

The Iso-Brick uses standard 2.1mm barrel connectors with center-negative polarity, which is the most common type for guitar pedals. It comes with all the necessary cables to connect your pedals. If you have any questions about specific pedal compatibility, a Sweetwater Sales Engineer can provide personalized gear advice.
