What is the Dunlop ECB-004 power supply used for?

The Dunlop ECB-004 is an 18V DC power supply designed to provide reliable power for specific Dunlop effects pedals. It delivers 500mA of current, ensuring your compatible pedals receive consistent and clean power for optimal performance. This power supply is essential for musicians looking to power their Dunlop gear without relying on batteries.

Which Dunlop pedals are compatible with the ECB-004?

The ECB-004 is specifically designed for Dunlop pedals requiring 18V DC power with a positive sleeve/negative tip polarity. Compatible models include the SW-95, DD11, M108, KFK1, M134, M117R, EVH117, and M181. Always check your pedal's power requirements to ensure proper compatibility.

Can I use the ECB-004 power supply when traveling internationally?

Yes, the Dunlop ECB-004 power supply features a wide input voltage range of 100-240V AC at 50-60Hz. This means you can use it in most countries worldwide with the appropriate plug adapter (not included). This makes it a versatile choice for touring musicians.

What are the output specifications and polarity of the ECB-004?

The ECB-004 provides a stable 18V DC output with a maximum current of 500mA. It uses a 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm barrel connector. Crucially, it has a positive sleeve and negative tip/center polarity, which is different from the more common center-negative polarity found on many other pedals. Always verify your pedal's polarity requirements.

Can I use the ECB-004 with non-Dunlop pedals or other 9V pedals?

No, the ECB-004 is specifically designed for 18V DC Dunlop pedals with its unique positive sleeve/negative tip polarity. Using it with pedals requiring 9V or a different polarity (like center-negative) can damage your equipment. Always match the voltage, current, and polarity to your pedal's specifications.
