MXR DC Brick, a potential resolution?

[Grezza 1]

Hi I’m fairly new to pedals and boards and currently daisy chain my zoom b3 but since Santa brought me a source audio aftershock pedal I’ve been having trouble linking the two and have heard that the zoom doesn’t play nicely with others on the chain. So I’m wondering if an MXR DC Brick I’ve seen for sale would solve the issue of running them together on an isolated circuit? 
I would welcome anyone else’s thoughts 👍

thanks

No - the MXR DC Brick is not isolated.  If sticking with MXR, you'll want their Iso-Brick or Mini Iso-Brick.  Other brands Truetone or Cioks are also very good and dependable. To get a more specific recommendation - what are the requirements (voltage and current) of all your pedals (including future purchases), and any other considerations e.g. form factor to fit on/under a pedalboard?

Hi thanks for your message,

The aftershock needs 300mA and the Zoom looks like it needs 500mA

 

The other thing I wasn’t sure of was the polarity of the Aftershock being compatible with the brick.
The brick is centre negative whereas the Aftershock looks like it's tip negative I don't know if they are compatible and it's just different terminology for the same thing, or if it would cause a problem. 
thanks Graham

Centre negative and tip negative are the same thing.

 

The Mini Iso-Brick would work - the Aftershock can connect to one of the 300mA outputs and the Zoom can go in the 800mA one (set to 9V).

Brilliant 👍thanks for your help

Aftershock only needs 150mA.
