All about Carl Martin DC Factory
When we designed DC Factory, the goal was straightforward: deliver clean, reliable power for modern pedalboards — without noise, compromises, or limitations. Whether we’re touring internationally or playing local gigs, power quality matters just as much as pedals and cables.
Modern pedalboards increasingly include power-hungry digital pedals alongside sensitive analog effects. To meet that challenge, we designed DC Factory as a fully isolated, high-current power supply that stays completely quiet — even in demanding setups.
Instead of using a traditional toroidal transformer, we built DC Factory around a high-quality switch-mode power supply. This allowed us to deliver far more current in a much smaller and lighter enclosure, while eliminating radiated hum that can interfere with wah pedals and certain analog drive circuits. The result is a compact, lightweight unit that remains stable, cool, and silent.
DC Factory provides ten fully isolated DC outputs. Four isolated 9V power sections each deliver up to 500 mA and feed two outputs, while a dedicated 12V section delivers 500 mA to two additional outputs. In total, DC Factory supplies up to 2500 mA of clean, regulated power — more than enough for complex pedalboards with multiple digital effects.
Worldwide mains compatibility (100–240V) makes DC Factory ready for international use without adapters or converters. Built-in protection against short circuits and overloads ensures safe operation, while clear LED indicators provide instant visual confirmation that everything is powered correctly.
DC Factory is designed to be a dependable foundation for serious pedalboards — delivering stable, noise-free power night after night, regardless of where or how we play.

FAQ
Quick answers about this pedal — shipping, power, use-cases and more.
What is the DC Factory?
The DC Factory is a high-quality isolated power supply designed to deliver clean, stable power to pedalboards of all sizes. It’s built to eliminate noise, hum, and ground loop issues commonly caused by daisy-chained or poorly regulated supplies.
Why is isolated power important?
Isolation prevents pedals from sharing ground paths, which is one of the main causes of noise. Especially when mixing digital and analog pedals, isolated outputs ensure each pedal receives clean power without interference from others.
What types of pedals can it power?
Standard 9V pedals, including analog drives, digital delays, reverbs, and modulation pedals. Depending on configuration, some outputs may support higher current draw for modern digital pedals.
Is it suitable for professional touring boards?
Yes. It’s designed for reliability, stable voltage delivery, and low noise under demanding conditions. The build quality and regulation make it suitable for both studio and live environments.
