The “POWERSBAPB - Black Ant Power Brick“ is the ultimate power supply, designed for guitar and bass effect pedals
Batteries provide clean, isolated DC power, reducing the risk of ground loops and hum that can come from daisy-chained or poorly isolated power supplies. A 9V battery is low voltage and safe to handle, reducing the risk of electrical shock or damage to your pedal or guitar.
But if you power your effects pedals with 9V batteries, you know two things: they deliver great responsiveness—but they drain fast. Constantly tearing apart your pedalboard to swap batteries gets old quickly. That’s where the “POWERSBAPB - Black Ant Power Brick” comes in. It lets you enjoy the tone and feel of battery power - without the usual hassle.
The POWERSBAPB is a 6-channel, multi-voltage DC power supply
At first glance, the POWERSBAPB might appear to be a straightforward device - but there's some serious brilliance behind its design and impressive processing power under the hood.
The Black Ant - Power Brick is a rechargeable, universal guitar pedal power supply designed for all battery-operated effects. It features five independent 9V DC (center-negative, 2.1mm x 5.5mm) outputs (150mA each), with each channel equipped with its own short-circuit and over-current protection - ensuring that a fault in one output won’t affect the others.
In addition, there is one high-current output (300mA) that can be switched between 9V and 12V using a right side-mounted toggle switch. This switch is specially protected to prevent accidental voltage changes. A multicolor LED clearly indicates the selected voltage by displaying different colors.
Built with carefully selected components, this power supply offers lower noise operation and improved thermal performance, delivering clean and stable power with minimal heat generation.
Black Ant Power Brick - 8000mAh reliable, uninterrupted high-performance power, anywhere & anytime
The Black Ant Power Brick power supply system harnesses the unique advantages of LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries, which are capable of delivering high current output. This means that when your pedal - say, an overdrive - demands a surge of power, it gets it instantly, without any noticeable voltage drop. The result? Consistent, reliable performance from your effects, even under heavy load.
With its built-in 8000mAh battery, the POWERSBAPB keeps your rig powered through multiple gigs—no need to worry about running out of juice.
The Black Ant Power Brick can be quickly recharged via the convenient and widely adopted USB-C port located on its left side. While charging, a small red LED lights up to indicate the process. Once fully charged and ready to deliver hours of reliable power, the red LED turns off, signaling that the unit is ready for use as a standalone power source.
Since durability and sustainability are key priorities, the batteries are fully replaceable.
Dual power intelligence - Seamless switching between internal battery and external supply
Even when the battery runs low, the Black Ant Power Supply keeps your rig powered—either by directly supplying your connected effect pedals or by serving as a backup when an external power source is available. As soon as you plug an external power supply (center-negative, 2.1mm x 5.5mm) into the DC input, the unit automatically switches from battery to external power in a fraction of a second. The LED indicators change color to clearly show which power source is currently in use.
Rugged durability - ready to go wherever you play
Crafted from high-quality, heat-dissipating aluminum alloy, the Black Ant Power Brick case features a sturdy, solid structure built for durability that gives it a minimalist, stylish look. Thanks to its compact and lightweight design, it’s easy to carry wherever your music takes you.
