Truetone 1-Spot Combo Pack

This is a combo pack version of the 1 spot which includes a daisy chain and I believe some extra cables with different ends for specific pedals that don't have the regular boss style adapter end.

This is a great deal, the overall package is less than $40 bucks and includes everything you need to power at least 5 pedals from the start. Not only that, it's very small and takes up little to no space on your board vs a brick power supply. But of course it's different for each player depending on the size of their board and what kinds of pedals they're using. The 1 spot has become to renowned that almost every other company is now making variations of the same thing to market.

There has been some debates about noise issues with adapter style plugs but to be honest I haven't had any of these noise experiences with gigs or just playing at home. Nothing seems to be any noisier than without the 1 spot. Oddly enough I haven't even heard of the 1 spot cable being torn apart or anything like that either, it is rather thick compared to an older red tag boss style adapter and those have always eventually had the cable torn out somehow. This is slightly sturdier, as it is thicker.

As I've said in an earlier review, I've seen many players using the 1spot and have had no troubles with it at home or live etc. So it seems to do the job, I have used both brick power supplies as well as the 1 spot and find them all to be very useful with the 1spot being the one I use the most merely for more space on my board. Just gotta make sure you clean up all the extra cables from the daisy chain etc to not tangle it up and mess it up when stompin!!

This comes with a 1-Spot adapter. It can give up to 1700 milliamps, and gives 9 volts Center Negative DC. It comes with a Daisy Chain with 8 plugs for powering 8 pedals. It also comes with a cable adapter for pedals with nothing but a battery jack, two adapters for an EHX Big Muff style pedal (1/8" jack), and one adapter for a Line6 style modeler pedal. It automatically converts voltage worldwide so you can use it anywhere with no worries, which is a HUGE plus for anyone that travels worldwide, or tours world wide and doesn't want to have to buy a new one for other countries. As with all daisy chains, there is a chance for a ground loop and hum to come through. That is an unavoidable fact in my experience. How much depends on the power in the place you use it, and the pedals you use. Some pedals can be daisy chained with others with no hum, others don't play well with others. It can be annoying, but it's not the end of the world if you're playing at home. If you're touring or recording, either invest in an Isolated Power Supply or batteries, because the hum can make your live or recording sound worse. The hum sounds really bad when amplified to concert levels. The only way around it is to figure out which ones cause the worst hum and either buy a new PSU, or use batteries for it.
All in all, this is a good, cheap PSU, but don't be surprised if you have some hum from it. It can power 8 pedals out of the box, and as many as you have (under 1700 milliamps that is). The voltage regulator is an awesome plus. It can be used anywhere around the world without a stepdown transformer, which, again, is a gigantic plus.

My first power supply, used to power simultaneously:
> Boss TU2 (tuner)
> MXR Noise Clamp
> EHX electric mistress
> MXR Carbon Copy

I am delighted: it is damn good, the pedals sound, it's not a noisy supply.
Brief. For a pedal board too provided, it is my ample sense!
