Adapters and how to best connect them.

Hi folks,

 

I have bought a MXR c Brick and now I'm wondering how it's best to plug & unplug this baby? What I'm worried about is, is doing it the wrong way. Can you, for an example, leave it in the wall socket and just pulling out the power cable from the bick itself when done with playing or should you simply pull out the power adapter from the wall socket and leave the cable connected to the brick?

 

Just want to make sure I'm not destroying any pedals, as I find it od these things don't come with an on/off button.

 

Cheers for any advice/help!!

Just unplug it from the wall.  Removing the adapter from the power brick is essentially doing the same thing.

Ok cheers. So unplugging the cable is safe but will the adapter get worse over time if left in the wall socket? Does it suck energy while not in use?

Yes, it uses power, even when not in use.  The same goes for anything with a wall-wart, like normal pedals, cell phone chargers, etc.  Anything that changes AC to DC stays on, even if the device is off.

For those who may not know the localization, wall-wart =
