- Does your pedalboard really need a power brick like the 1 SPOT Pro?
Truetone owner Bob Weil (inventor of the 1 SPOT) gives a detailed look into why a 1 SPOT Pro is a "must-have' item for many guitarists.
He also gives a full run-down of 1 SPOT Pro features and examples of the quiet effectiveness of these power supplies. "Power-hungry" pedals? No problem! We have you covered! If you have questions not addressed here, please call us at 931-487-9001 or email support@truetone.com
NOTICE: Please note at 12:45 in this video that 350 mA was based on what we thought was accurate information gathered online. Using our new mA Meter, which we developed over a year after this video was originally made, we found that the Line 6 M9 actually pulls around 550 mA. However, it can easily be powered by the 9v AC output on the CS12, or one of the higher 9v DC mA outputs on either the CS12 or CS7.

Love seeing a competent person speaking with pride about their creation!
Well, you've sold me on the CS7. Gonna get one as soon as I can. I really like Bob's down to earth demeanor and straightforwardness. Kudos man. You've made another customer.
Fantastic!
Danny Wood sounds great to me also. Thx-
24v can be made by using a voltage doubler cable (TVD) and switching one of the 9v to 12v. 15v is not common. Some 15v can operate on either 12 or 18v. Check with the maker.
Thank you for such a comprehensive explanation and demonstration of the CS bricks in context with pedals.
You are welcome. Zac
I’ve never been a pedal guy. In all my 45 years of playing, it was always guitar into amp, with the occasional wah pedal. But, a few months back I purchased a single pedal, a Wampler Dual Fusion and since then I’ve become hooked! That pedal led too a Wampler Gearbox, Faux Spring reverb, an Ethereal, and a Boss SD-1. I’m sure they’ll be MANY more, as I just purchased a Ceriatone ODS. (Dumble clone - Heavenly!!!) I plan on creating an entire board just for that amp, and the other pedal board I mentioned above goes along with my “magical” Marshall JMP #2204. (early version of JCM 800) and I’m telling ya’, everyone who plays that amp wants to buy it. It has something that the others do not. 😎
So, instead of running 9v batteries and having some pedals that only take wall wart power, I decided on two CS-7’s to power all my power hungry goodies and I must say, I’m really impressed at just how quiet my pedals are now. It’s a night and day difference! 🔥🔥🔥
So, yes folks, I am now a believer and Truetone has another convert!
Believe the hype, as these are terrific! Especially for the price! A simple no-brainer…
Best! ✌🏼
Just ordered a CS12. Bob is a sincere, very nice guy. He helped me almost 15 years ago with an issue on a pedal he had designed for another company. Gracious and caring. Although I don't use many of his pedals, great respect for his business practices.
Thank you Rick, I will pass this on to Bob. Zac
Just recently bought a CS7 and installed it under my Pedaltrain Classic Jr. Love that it comes with mounting brackets in the box, and everything is reasonably priced. Thanks Truetone!
Thank you! And thank you so much for picking up a CS7. Zac
These guys have been amazing ! any time I've had questions they have been right there and even helped me with a mod to one of the original Route 66 pedals.
I cant say enough good stuff about the True Tone / Visual Sound people.
I may just finally replace my One spot and daisy chain with CS-7
Thanks!!!!!!
I've got a CS12 and I couldn't be more pleased. Never had a problem and sometimes I forget to turn
it off after a session and it has no detrimental effect on it at all. All those output options are a real blessing.
Thank you. So glad the CS12 is working out well for you. Your feedback is what we always hope for.
I hooked up my new layout today with the CS 12. I thought my board was quiet with a one spot , with CS 12 notta single hint of noise. I called you guys today for some info and was pleasantly pleased with how nice and helpful you guys were. Thank you very much.
That is awesome!
This power supplies solved a huge issue for me. Currently, I am running all my 9vdc pedals with a One Spot and then my 4th gen Digitech Whammy with it's own separate power supply. I also intend to buy a Nova Delay, which needs the 12v just like the pedal you have displayed in the video. So that made me worry about having to run three power bricks. With this power brick, I can run all my pedals and only have to worry about using one main power cable. Thanks for the innovation. This is definitely my next buy!
Glad to help!
Such detailed explanation plus the price point, just convinced me to go with this over the main competitor.
Thanks, Chili! Zac
Got My CS12 awhile ago and I'm blown away. So much power for all my pedals and I'm running 5 at 18V (some with doublers). My board and I couldn't be happier!
Thank you so much. So glad it is working out great for you!
1 spot is all i need in my board atm with 13 pedals in it..cant believe how it is still working after all the beatings it took from the gigs. maybe one day i might try one of these if i ever needed one..truetone is the best!
+Mark Regino Thanks, Mark!
yep. im on board with you guys now too. or rather... your on my board with me now! thanks for a brilliant product.
ON BOARD! HAH; good one!
Great vid. Buying a CS7 tomorrow and a Pedaltrain Jr. for my Tech 21 Acoustic Fly Rig and Boss AD-2 Acoustic Preamp. Never owned pedals or a pedal board before.
About to get a cs7 next month. You guys are passionate at this!!!
Sold me on what power supply I will buy, I started with a 1 spot many years ago and keep a few around for a back up and playing at home with non pedalboard stuff thanks truetone ordering now!
Im sold, just ordered a cs7, great video and super cool guy. Definetly feel like this is the best powersuply out there!
Awesome! Thank you so much
This video has totally got me wanting a CS7. My go-to was always Voodoo Lab stuff, but this seriously looks like, not only, the biggest bang for my buck, but the best i can get period. I'm pretty much sold here.
Fantastic!
Wow, and wow! Think I'll be upgrading my brick, I've run into running out of outputs since I need 2 spots to power my 18v pedal with my current supply. Been having to deal with batteries for the loss of outputs, looks like that problem will be going away soon! Thanks for making something great again Truetone!
Great!
HAHA the big heavy, "mondo" expensive @17:50 - nice subtle way of referencing the other guy! Haha I'm picking up my CS12 today!
Well that settles it, my new power supply is going to be cs 12. Exactly what I've been looking for! It's great to see a company put this much care and pride into what they do and to stand by their products.
Thank you very much Mike. You made our day.
***** you're very welcome, keep up the great work!
Dudeeeee! This is tight! I'm getting me one of these! Great demonstration video. I wish more pedal companies did this. Props to you sir! :)
+GeetardudexD Thank you! We worked hard to make it informative, so people can make educated decisions.
So I ended up buying the CS12 and it has solved all my noise and power issues! Couldn't be any happier. Hats off to the truetone team :D
Thank you so much for purchasing a CS12, and so glad it has worked out so well for you.
Outstanding psu! Best one in the market I've got to say. I power all my 12 pedals using my cs7 (i dc chained some of my them). Total improvement in my rig. Noise-less, 12/18volts options, and easy to install and a lot less expensive. I'll prolly get another one, or the cs12 in case i expand my pedal board. Thanks truetone!
You are so welcome and thank you for trusting us to power your pedals. Zac
Sold! Great demo! I was going for the Strymon before watching this. Awesome
Thank you so much!
This is the best power supply EVER! it runs my whole board including EHX Hog and Whammy.. It cost me to find out that Gig rig wouldn't run my setup... This is awesome and will be ALWAYS endorsing it at the festivals and shows I play on. Big thumbs up guys! Now, how about supplying an affordable pedalboard too? 1m x 35cm with lid would corner the market... Just awesome... lol :-)
Thank you Carnage!
I really like these products. They are well thought and just works great. I have the CS7 for my Pedaltrain JR and I have the length of the power cables I need from the box. The product is fantastic and is affordable too compared to other products! Great job guys! :D
Thank you so much! The CS7 and the Jr work very well together.
Sold me on this. Great job. Thanks for keeping it cheap!
Thanks. We try to keep our products affordable. Zac
Bob - so cool to see you! We talked on the phone maybe 15 years ago when I had some questions about my Visual Sounds H2O and Rte 66 pedals. Were you in high school then? 😝
Very helpful video. The CS7 probably can handle everything I could dig up using a couple of daisy chains and isolated supplies for any question mark pedals. A new overdrive pedal was generating noise on a One Spot setup... I suspect it’s the “soft switch” it uses.
Very clear and helpful video. Thanks!
+Ted Killian Thank you Ted. We worked hard to make the information clear, and easy to understand.
Must agree with fellow tubers, your presentation was damn good, another customer made, just visited local music store site and came across this. Just what the Doctor ordered.
+Peter Ngaia Thank you Peter. Which store did you stop by?
Truetone selected the best possible spokesman for their company. This guy is great at his job. Interesting that he has convinced me to stick with the lowest cost product that they sell but I tell you one thing I appreciate the honesty and he also convinced me that if I ever upgrade to an isolated power supply I won’t look any further than the 1spot pro because his information convinced me theirs is the best
That's Truetone's founder and CEO, Bob Weil. He knows his stuff!
Thanks so much Sean! I've always believed honest sales were better and more long-term than BS sales. Thanks for your support!
thanks so much for this, now i'm convinced what pedalboard to buy! and for £215 (where i'm from at least) it should do well with my Pedaltrain Classic PRO
i've even planned a rough take on what my board will consist of
A great video, and great products!
I already own a CS-6 which I used to power a complete NUX pedal board, and it's amazing how well it works, I'm impressed with the quality and completely sold on these power supplies!
I am currently working on building a massive Fender pedal board using most of the pedals on the current line that Fender offers, along with older, discontinued pedals from Fender. When it's complete, there will be a total of 18 pedals, including a loop switcher, and tuner.
I did speak with someone there a few days ago about this, and determined that I will be able to use a CS-12 with two V189 adapters to give me 11 outputs from the CS-12, but I will still have to daisy chain some of the pedals on power cables. to supply power to all of them. On your site, the only daisy chain cables I see are meant to be used with the 1 Spot. Do you have daisy chain cables for any of the power bricks? If not, Can you recommend someplace where I might find these? I would like to power this board with just one brick if possible.
Thank you.
i have a CS12 and it's the best power supply i have ever seen! I love it so far. powering the 3 strymon big guys and 9 more pedals!
Thank you Felipe!
Your attitude about engineering and development reminds me of Hartley Peavey. He said “To be better, you have to be different.” You make really great products.
you guys do it the best thank you
Sold. I've been shopping around for a power brick and I've read and watched videos and been unimpressed with either quality or price. After seeing this I'm getting a CS7. Thanks for putting out quality gear that's affordable for working musicians and those who's expendable income doesn't exceed most people's gross income
Edit: I will also be checking out more truetone gear. You guys seem to always be putting out content for musicians and it's always done top notch. This seems to be your M.O. and I'm sure your gear is no different. Thanks!
Wow, thank you! We have always strived to make great, and affordable products.
My one spot is incredible. Powers my Benado board plus 4 other pedals silently. Great product.
I've recently bought the CS12 and I almost couldn't be happier. Impressive range of features at a very competitive price and most importantly, compared to my old non-filtered non-isolated PSU which was noisy as hell, it adds almost no noise to my system!
+JackFou Thank you so much. We worked long and hard on the CS12, and happy it is working well for you, and many, many others.
@@TruetoneFXi need it but its so big. I cant find a pedalboard with a bracket big enough. Any recommendations?
One doesn't simply call a Klon Centaur "some pedals" without being killed by an avalanche of fire-breathing fanboys.
Ha!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just ordered one of these. Needed something to power my HX stomp and Strymon pedals. Also enough power to keep everything quite and isolated. Another happy customer 👌
Rock on!
Thomas Burnhams How can I power an HX Stomp with an CS7
Pay attention Truetone, you are obviously doing something right. I got about 4 mins into the vid and went off to order one online. Reading through the comments the next day I see that I am not alone. THe straight forward , no crap presentation is working well for me in the Uk.
Thank you so much for trusting us with your power. We do our best to be crap-free in our presentations, as the place seems to smell better that way.
You are welcome. I have yet to appraise the CS7 which I have ordered, or in fact the Fulltone Deja Vibe MDV3 for which it is intended. The Deja Vibe is asking for 18v dc and my daisy chain Boss will not even power the status light. Also the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah pedal which I bought last month is asking for 9v dc to 18v dc. It was time to bite the bullet .
The Truetone 1 spot pro CS7 arrived today from Andertons in Guildford UK ( great service ) It comes with a fist full of colour coded leads and mounting brackets and screws. All you need to get 7 pedals powered up ( about 11 leads in total ) It is silent and I now look forward to building up a pedal board with confidence. Good packaging and very detailed instructions are appreciated. Your vid demonstrating the Truetone mA meter is also worth watching. Thanks very much. Happy>
You have made us happy too! Zac
Getting a CS12 was one of the best decisions I've made in a while.
Ditto
I was thinking, "why the hell doesn't some company just make something simple with a lot of outputs that is switchable?" The power brick is far too few outputs and you can't even switch them. Too little for too much money, then I stumbled on this. Ordering one because you guys actually considered the end user and the way we use pedals.
We work hard at making power supplies and pedals that helps the working player. Thank you so much.
Bought a CS7 a few days ago as I wanted something which would power my 12 volt Neo Minivent and my other pedals. I wasn't expecting such an improvement in sound quality over my old daisy chain. It's also great running the Fultone OCD at 18 volts, a pedal, I had been thinking of selling. It sounds superb now and is going nowhere! Thanks.
Thank you so much, that is fantastic. We had heard that the OCD sounded better at 18v.
of course im buying this magnificent commodity for my pedaltrain metro... cs6 of course, love the tutorials!
Thank you! Zac
Looking to build a new pedal board (or rebuild my current one) but I have some newer digital pedals in the mix so I decided to look into Isolated Power Supplies in order to keep things quiet and also needed a PS that had high current rating for those digital pedals and future proofing. I looked at the Voodoo Labs units (I own some of their stuff already) but was turned off by the lack of total current draw supply and regional AC power models, unlike your Truetone 1 Spot Pro 12 CS12 which I read is world voltage / input switchable, a brilliant touch by the way and one that really sung it for me on top of the max current available and multiple output voltage options in the mix. Can't wait for it to arrive so that I can get to building everything. Congratulations on a well thought out design man! I already two standard OneSpots for daisy chaining so I know your stuff is top shelf.
Kman, thank you so much for your kind words, and for trusting Truetone with your power needs. Have a great day. Zac
I've been a believer in the one spot for a looooong time! I used to power my whole board off of two one spots. Just recently bought the cs7 and its amazing! If only it came out sooner I would have bought the 12 and the 7 to power my board.
Thank you so much!
16:33 top ten anime plot twists
Btw. Awesome product, I'm totally gonna buy it :)
Labels on the bottom. Smart!
Brackets included. Smart!
Now I can have one power brick that will run all my pedals, including my Strymon Lex. No more hunting for one more open outlet.
+Michael English Thank you!
Next purchase for sure. Can't wait to relegate my standard onespot to a backup psu. Its been wonderful for years while my board keeps growing.
+Alan Hinton Thank you !
This video got me insta-subscribed. Great work!
Great!
Damn it! I'm sold.
Sweet!
Thank you, I’ve been playing a while but feared pedals. Just so many to choose from snd which one should I start with. Well, I started needing pedals and the addiction began. I had an I spot for a short time but soon needed to upgrade to the cs7. Now my pedaltrain is crammed and I’m waiting for a bigger pedalboard to be delivered. I’m afraid the cs7 might not last to much longer, and my husband is just confused by my addiction. But I’m having fun and it’s good to know I have a good quality product protecting my investment.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We make the CS12 for the larger boards.
Convinced the fuck outta me! got yourself a new customer.
Sweet!!!
Wanted to pop on and recommend this product.
Certified by independent labs is a huge statement as a manufacturer.
Just got a Cs12 that I've had on my "to do" list for like 4 yrs.
Tone + Quality of Life = WORTH THE COST
THANK YOU!!!!
I think some boards can be run with two 1-Spot adapters w/daisy chain. But he's right, things have changed.
I think I need a CS-12.
After using for years 2 one spot daisy chain on my pedalboard i finally ordered the cs12.
Thank you!
I’ve been looking for a power supply to power all my pedals and my whammy 4 in one! This is perfect. 1 Spot forever!!!
Sweet!!!
Truetone update. I just ordered mine!
My Visual Sound 1spot is now 12 years old and is still working fine. The stickers are all worn and torn though so I suggest providing extra stickers or maybe make them more durable that lasts long like the unit itself.
I have the CS12. Excellent power supply. My main pedalboard has 10 pedals. Two of them run on 18V and 1 of the 9V pedals draws about 350mA. At times, I have even run an additional pedalboard with some effects for my acoustic from the same CS12. It handles all of them with no problem. Highly recommended!
Thank you!!!! Zac
Great Video!
This is great! Cant wait to put my hands in one of these cs12! Trutone do I need to use any adaptor to power the M9? It takes DC and AC current right? How about the polarity?
You can use the 9v AC or one of the high 9v dc mA outputs. AC has no polarity. DC does, ours being center pin negative.You will also need the CL6 converter with the green plug on it.
Wow, had no idea you guys used to make the Route66 and Jeykl and Hyde!!
Just got the CS12 tonight…for a second I had the red cable running to my Dirty Little Secret 18v 5ma. It fit so looked just like a length difference…but just to be careful I made sure to use the others by size and not use the red cable…it looks like a normal with no brick…just the red seem better to point out 18v only. But I’m not sure given online info…says you can use all the others in the bag. But many are confused to use the red cable on a 9v or 18v plug at all. Better safe than sorry!
I think the AC feature is the thing. No one else did that. Its the one thing on my board that still has it's own wall wart. I've always hated that.
Great video and info - thanks and will likely be buying a CS12. Any word on how "quiet" the CS7 and CS12 are from a power perspective? I was thinking of getting a couple of Strymon pedals and already have two pedals that can support 18v (but never used the 18v option as I currently don't have an 18v supply :)
+Wrekking Cru The CS7 and 12 work great powering all the Strymon pedals, and are extremely quiet. We and many pro's here in Nashville have already done extensive testing with them.
I forgot how great these power supplies are with the breakout of the Strymon Zuma. I've built the last two of my client's boards with Truetone - a CS6, CS12, and another CS6 powered board is on deck. I'll be building a board for myself with a CS12 very soon. Still an awesome product and product line after almost ten years.
THANKS!!!!!
@@TruetoneFX just got my personal CS12 in the mail yesterday!
The CS12 is awesome, I was worried when I bought my Two Notes Torpedo CAB. It's 12v 300MA run it without a single glitch.
Glad that is working perfectly! Great to know.
I just ordered the cs12. Looking forward to it.
Thank you so much! Zac
Just arrived today. I like the design for the most part. I wasn't super thrilled that it only has 9 usable outputs without step down voltage converters at $15 a piece. I wish you guys had just stuck that inside the enclosure instead of hitting up consumers for the extra use.
But other than that, this thing is sweet.
Thank you for the feedback. We are looking at ways to upgrade the unit in the future. Zac
I choose the CS12 over some other fancy power supply. Really unique product, steady and reliable
Thank you for choosing us! Zac
I can say one thing about my observations. My Ditto Looper howls like a Banshee and is unusable through 3 power supplies, and all alone on one power supply. Being in the signal chain seems to do it.
I ordered a ISpot Pro, and I can use my Ditto Looper again.
Grog I have a Ditto, and I have zero problems with it on daisy chain power.
Thanks bud I had a daisy chain thing and I noticed performance issues that forced me to sell an Amp yet I think it was the power supply to my pedals
Great info. I've been a fan of Truetone/Visual Sound products for some time. I use a decent toroidal based brick but power requirements mean I've been looking around for something with more juice, I'll certainly look at the CS12.
I think you will be very happy with a CS12
I bought a CS-7 a few months ago.. best decision I made in terms of a power supply. That thing can handle hungry pedals for sure.. Looking into getting a CS-12 now since my board keeps expanding more.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for putting out an excellent product!
You are very welcome
Looks like a great one. Have you ever tried it with Source Audio products such as Ventris Dual Reverb and their Reflex Expression Pedal?
The Pro line can power both of those units without a problem!
This is great for value. I thought it cost more than $200 but it is actually affordable. The color coded cables are awesome. I wish each inputs has its own light that could tell (maybe color changes or it dims) me if I’m powering a pedal under mA. I have a considerable cheap power brick that does that but doesn’t power my whole pedal board sufficiently. So maybe when making version 2 of the cs pro, you could put that feature. I know the pro probably won’t even go under power but just saying. It doesn’t hurt to be there and also, the lights can provide a light source which looks cool in a light deprive settings.
Thank you! Great ideas.
Totally sold me on the CS12 for my bass pedal board, I've been looking for a supply that can handle 10+ pedals and has isolated outs
Thank you for trusting us with your power!
Nice demo.
Thank you!
I'm going to integrate a just-ordered 1 SPOT Pro CS7 with a Pedaltrain Classic Jr.. Can't wait to put it them through their paces!
Fantastic!!! Here is a video to help with the install. ruclips.net/video/AicMNpu9hvQ/видео.html
Actually, this install video clinched my decision to make a purchase.
That is great feedback!
Yes, a cs6 (or 2) is a perfect solution. Dead clean, fits anywhere and despite what many hipsters want to hear it’s only one besides the PP2+ (sorry but it’s true) it’s the only one none of my touring players have destroyed.
Funny as hell...I bought the CS12 long before I exactly just how good it is! actually it's the 1st pedal I bought for my future pedal board which will be bought in about 3 weeks... I have, at the moment, 5 div. Source Audio peds, a TC Polytune, and I have headroom, with room being the operative...I've got so much power, and room on the board I'll have more than enough for the 5 or so peds more I'll be getting in the near future... one thing at a time here, the most important the power supply... Thanks for such a superior product :))
Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We have put much effort into making a power supply that can power most devices.
alright I'm going to these guys for power needs now.
THANK YOU!!!
Very interested in one of these. Do you know if the brackets fit in the Joyo RD-1 pedalboard (it’s very similar to a pedaltrain)?
Also, will the CS7 work well to power (digital: 2 x 300mA pedals, 1 x 100mA, 1 x 50mA off separate outlets) and 3 way daisy chain analog pedals off remaining outlets?
Thanks
If it is a true copy, it will work. The CS7 will have no problem powering those pedals.
Ordered a CS12 yesterday and can't wait for it to arrive.
I have mainly analog pedals but still, when i use one i have to unplug it afterwards from the daisy chain or it won't be quiet at all.
You will love the CS12. Zac
Wicked product. You mention each output can provide more than stated aslong as the total combined draw is less than the max rated mA output. In this case do you think powering a TC Helicon H1 vocal pedal with the CS7 would be fine? (12v 400mA)
There should be plenty of power available. Double check the polarity though.
I hope you notice my comment, but that last (red) when you said warning warning. Can i use 12 normal 9v pedals? or does 1 pedal have to be more than 18v to get the 12th spot? im buying this as soon as possible. Really really good review on the power suply!!
You cannot use 12 9v pedals unless you daisy chain off one of the 9v outputs. The CS12 has (9) 9v outputs. The (2) 18v and (1) 9v AC cannot be used with a 9v DC pedal.
I'm convinced. You're in Springhill? It's a short drive so I will buy directly from you.
We would love to meet you, and have you down to our offices. Give us a call first. 931-487-9001 For the purchase of a 1 SPOT Pro, please support our dealers in the area. Corner Music, and GuitarEffectsPedals.com.
I got a Pedaltrain Grande with 18 pedals on it. For a long time, I ran the entire board on 2-9v 1 spots and 1-18v 1 Spot with daisy-chain cables and it worked well. But some digital pedals found their way onto the board and I was getting noise and could not isolate the pedals. I bought 2 CS-12's mounted them beneath my board and the improvement was immediately obvious. Absolutely no noise, the delays in the FX loop sounded clearer, more hi fi. What drew me to the CS-12's was the variety of power options. I have some pedals that can operate on 9v, but the manufacturer told me that they sound better at 18v. My Earthquaker's Device "The Depths" sounds good in front of the amp at 9v, but sounds best when using it in the FX loop at 18v. I purchased a pedal and there were some issues. Their tech asked what power supply I was using and he said to switch to 12v, problem solved in two minutes.This is the kind of flexibility the CS-12 offers. Add in the price and it's a no brainer. I spent all this time and money on my pedals they need clean, reliable power.
I can highly recommend the CS-12, money well spent.
Thank you Buh Wheet!!!!! That is fantastic feedback!! We really appreciate you sharing that.
You guys really need to get LA session players on this show like Mike Landau especially..The dude is a true tone king and use pedals very tastefully..
Would love to have Landau or Dean Parks on the show. We need to catch them if they come through Nashville. Zac
@@TruetoneFX Now your talking. Im sure they would love to be your guest. They are both great guys. Mike is an amazing person, speaking from personal experience and Dean is just the Man!
I bought a CS12 and I am very happy with it (and with the accessories). I just have one question: I understand that the power supply can provide (way) more mA than the label says (as long as the total amps needed don't exceed the maximum) and that you are required to label the outputs... but then why have 4 different labels (100, 250, 500 and 800 mA) ?
Oh and a request... could you hook up with AclamGuitars to create mounting brackets for their boards...?
For certification. Have them contact us
I moved up to a huge practice board with 19 pedals and ended up with some serious noise issues. That was solved with two 1 Spot Pro CS 12 power bricks. It was an expensive investment, but well worth it. I can't praise Truetone enough, and am very happy with my 1 Spot. My only complaint, is why didn't they come with some stickers? Fore some odd reason I like it when my gear comes with stickers. A Truetone sticker would look nice on my pedalboard case.
Thank you so much for the glowing report. Send your address to zac at truetone.com and I will send you some stickers.
Thanks. I sent you a message over at the Truetone site.
Great
Just wanted to say thanks. I got the stickers (You guys Rock). I wasn't expecting a stack like that, so I'll be spreading the love around. I know several musicians who like their stickers just as much as I do, so I'll give them some. Thanks again.
Rhett Shull brought me here \m/
That's an amazing video about so much you can do! All of that applies to the CS6 of course right?
YES
@@TruetoneFX thank you! Just ordered the CS6, being a very long time owner of the 1spot!
@@TruetoneFX just got the CS6, swapped to the old 1 spot... and it's DEAD quiet! with 10 pedals, analogs, digitals, wah, wireless receivers... congratulations! and I like very much seeing the blu lights under my board 😎, BTW why there are two?
THANKS!!!! There are 2 lights so you can see that it is on from either side. And the nice blue glow!
@@TruetoneFX whoa that's awesome!
1) Would the Line6 DM4 require the reverse polarity converter?
2) Which output should it be connected to?
Thanks!
The DM4 would require the green CL6 converter, that is included, when using any of the 9v DC outputs. It changes both the polarity, and the plug size. If you have a CS12, you have the option of also power it using the 9v AC, output 12, using the special red cable without a converter of any kind.
Thank you very much for the great review, however I still have questions.
My Hughes and Kettner Tubeman 2 requires 12V and 700mA, and when I flipped the switch to 12V and plugged it in, it didn't run the tube.. I'm afraid to put 18V into the tubeman, therefore currently using an original adapter.
Second question is how do you split 500mA output for several pedals? what do you use for it? I'm sorry for these questions, I'm a beginner in it.. I would appreciate your reply very much! Cheers!
The Tubeman needs 12VAC. The 1 SPOT Pro can't power that unit as it can only produce 12VDC.
@@TruetoneFX truth!
ALWAYS BE SURE WHAT CURRENT PEDALS RUN ON!!
Thanks for the great explanation. Can the CS12 power two Eventide H9s and a Timefactor at the same time?
These days many people are using multiple Eventide H9 units, so it would be great to know how many can be powered.
Thanks again!

Yes, absolutely
Does the CS12 give off any electro magnetic noise field? I am having issues with my Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 inducing noise into cables and pedals that are nearby & since this doesn't use a standard transformer - could put an end to my pedalboard noise issues!
The CS12 does not have the proximity noise issues that the Voodoo Lab has because of the different technology used.
You might want to put a red rubber button plug over the insert as well. Just a thought. Love the ability of the unit.
It has a big red box around it and a (!)
