I have three of these that power my Catalinbread foundation pedals. They increase headroom and dynamics. I couldn't be happier with their performance.

Comments about Dunlop ECB-04 Barrel 18V Adapter:
To my ears, most overdrives and distortion pedals come to life when they are running at 18v instead of 9v. Increased headroom, dynamics, etc. The Dunlop ECB-04 is the solution. Well built, quiet & reliable. This unit brings the tone that I love come to life! I love it!

Comments about Dunlop ECB-04 Barrel 18V Adapter:
If you buy this what they will actually send to you is the ecb004 which is a faulty unit, not the ecb-04 which is pictured here. The ecb004 you will actually receive is a noisy defective design.

Comments about Dunlop ECB-04 Barrel 18V Adapter:
I npirchased the adaptor for use with my MXR EVH117 flanger. Worked perfectly until I realized another pedal in my daisy chain was my achilles heal. The Danelectro DC-1 Cool Cat Chorus eats through batteries like pacman at a blue ghost benefit for the blind. Just for kicks I tried the ECB-04 on it and shazaam, no heal to hold us back. Just purchased another and both are still going strong.

Comments about Dunlop ECB-04 Barrel 18V Adapter:
Overall im impressed dunlop can offer a regulated 18v supply so cheaply.
I got this for my Barber Unlimited overdrive. Most overdrives/distortions that are overbuilt and can handle the overvolatge benefit from it. I originally tried this with the Voltage doubler cable in my T-rex fueltank jr. with my Timmy pedal and was astounded by the effects of going from 9v to 18v. more Clarity, less compresson, more headroom. overall more amplike.
With the barber the dynamic range and overall sag was reduced and now with the internal trimmers set to taste it sounds even better.
I will warn you that this will toast some pedals that dont have the specified parts inside to handle the voltage increase. You should read the specs or contact the manufacturer to confirm you can do this trick.
another plus is this is regulated to give the pedal 17-19 volts. whereas other cheaper adpaters may reach up to 14-22 volts depending on the wall port and the adapter itself. so I know this thing going to work well.
The bad part is its the same quality made in china adapter everyone has. I dont think it would survive consisitant tangle and mangle of gigging. but plugged in for at home playing it should last for some time. If Fulltone came out with a 18v adapter like their 9v models I would invest in one. but for now this is the cheapest and best option for giving overdrives 18v's
Comments about Dunlop ECB-04 Barrel 18V Adapter:
Overall, if you're looking to improve the performance of your pedals, and your pedals can withstand/accept an 18 volt power supply, you can't go wrong!
I bought a Diamond Compressor, which can run on a power supply between 9 and 24 volts. There are many ways to wire those voltage configurations up, but this is by far the easiest. It's a very quiet supply. Best of all, it greatly increased the headroom and lowered the noise floor of my Diamond Compressor. You would be hard pressed to find a better compressor than the Diamond running on a ECB-004. This is it; simple and easy with increased performance from your pedals.
I give this an 8 because although it's performance is outstanding, the plastic/outside of the unit is very light and cheap. It doesn't feel like it could withstand a whole lot of abuse. Then again, that all comes down to how well you take care of your gear.
Once again, I give this an 8 not due to it's performance, but because of the cheap plastic. I think the price could be a bit cheaper, but overall it's a pretty fair and standard price point.
Comments about Dunlop ECB-04 Barrel 18V Adapter:
The size is the unique bad thing. But the perfomance for my OCD Fulltone is good, the chamge of voltage.
Excellent for my OCD Fulltone, but the size is too big to coenct with others pedals.
The value is good, no problem.
