Previously I was using a Strymon Ojai R30. Low profile yes, but it only has 5 outputs. It uses a 24vdc external power supply to power the box using the same connector as the “extension” connector on Cioks DC7 24v output. So instead of a DC7 I purchased a DC8 and used my existing strymon 24v connection. Works perfect, I don’t have to have an IEC power cord at my pedalboard, and I get an extra output with the DC8. Win, win!
I was looking at those Strymons. So you don't have to buy another Ojai, you can connect a different PS to it? I was thinking of maybe the big one, "Zuma" - it has 10×500ma outputs (I think)
@@mattgilbert7347 The Zumba has the AC/DC conversion internal. (It uses an IEC power cord that plugs into the wall) but it also has a 24Vdc output that would power an Ojai as an “expansion”. In fact you can buy the Ojai in either a stand-alone version with external AC-DC power supply, or as an “expansion pack” that would rely on a separate 24Vdc power source. ( like the Zuma’s 24Vdc output)
I use a custom sweetfoot pedals supply. One output for the stomp and 3 other 500mA outputs which I split to power other pedals. And it's tiny 4.39 x 2.34 x 1.29 inches. In addition it's under $100. Admittedly I was a little apprehensive going with a smaller co. So far no issues after 1.5 yrs.
I have been a fan of the Truetone power supplies for years. I Started with the CS7 and eventually upgraded to the CS12 as my pedalboard grew. I still use both to this day. The CS12 is for my electric rig, and the CS7 is for my acoustic rig. My only gripe is the CS7 has to sit on the top of my board, taking up valuable space, since it’s on a flat board. But now thanks to this video, I know there’s another option without spending too much money. Thanks HWL!
I use two wallwart 1-Spots and a Joyo PS-04. Joyo on my PT-Metro, it has 10 outputs but am only using 6, with a 1-Spot powering a couple of digital pedals. Spare 1-Spot for a grab 'n go situation. Time to upgrade, methinks. What about the Strymons? I've heard good things about the Zuma. They also have a "modular" system with a smaller one called the "Ojai" - and each output supports 500ma!
The CS6 is a great great power supply today I tested it with the Strymon trifecta and 3 UA FX and was a champion, but once I hooked the daisy chain pedals one of the UA wouldn’t power and had noise but I pushed it over the limit and was surprised that it worked. Truetone is a super brand. This time I’ll try the Cioks and see 😊
Stupid question. I have a cs6 with a current doubler to power the hx stomp. I didn’t know I could use just one 500ma outlet for power with the adapters. Would I be harming the stomp or power supply by using the current doubler still?
So sad the video ended right there. Glad to hear it was a good purchase for you. I was hoping to listen to the duotime in the chain. :) great content Jim! God bless!
Me, I'd rather have the DC7, because by the time you get to the 1600 mAs on the OneSpot Pro, the voltage that you can power your pedals at is lower. At 50% draw, it's fine. 50 percent draw on the DC7 would be 2310 mAs. How many boards would be able to be powered off that and be fine?
Depends on your pedals. Check each pedal's power requirements; mV's add them up look at how many outs and what they have for use. I use a Caline P-1 pwr unit. 8 outs 5 9v -1 12v- 1 15v-1 18v. Each is minimal 300mV. I've been using mine over 2 yrs with no problems. I see them just at $50. I still think this is so worth it.
Hey, I have the TrueTone One Spot. I have the green converter, do I also need the red converter? It's supposed to power 1.7A so I guess it should work to power the HX Stomp, right? Please heeeelp haha.
Are there any alternatives to the existing power adapter mess with the CS6? I find that the length of the first piece with green tip, prevents me from fishing the cable to the side of the HX Stomp and throw the rails below. Kind of annoying. EDIT: Answered my own question. Both the HX Stomp AND the CS6 are center pin negative. Just get a regular 2.5mm to 2.1mm (non-polarity reversing) cable off Amazon and you're golden. I actually called Truetone and confirmed.
Awesome video! Quick question, do you think the OneSpot would be compatible with the HX Stomp XL?? Just got one and I'm not a fan of the cheap power supply that came with it. So I'm shopping around at the moment. Thank you for the knowledge! 😁
So I have the Eventide version of the DC7 it was $199 originally but seems like now priced the same. I was going to get another one for a second board but now I"m conflicted, do I spend the extra $100???
I’ve been doing research on using the One Spot with HX effects, and from what I’ve see the doubler seems to make the HX effects run better though the One Spot says it isn’t needed
Jimmy. You are the man, and I look to your videos for most all of my questions. I have eight pedals (two tube screamers, keeled compressor, giga delay, revelation, volume pedal, chorus, and the strymon iridium) and possibly getting a few more. I'm looking at getting the temple board 24 but I neeeeeed to know and understand what power supply I would need that would fit under the board and be able to power all of my pedals. There is a deal I found with the cioks hi5 and ac adapter already installed for 340$, but that only has 5 spots and they say daisy chaining isn't a big deal with the cioks but idk man I mean is there a better option that I would need to look into? Like maybe just piecing it together myself, also looking for the most cost efficient way of doing this. I really value your advice here man thank you so much for all that you do. God bless!
This is a great video at the right time. I’m in the middle of building a board. The NUX videos have me considering buying those and I’ve been debating on power supplies. And because I’m on a budget your videos are perfect. I’d chose the One Spot. Might even bump up to the CS12
Those NUX pedals have my attention! They just released a new one, dual overdrive called the "Ace of Tone". It's a Tubeman and Morningstar with a similar layout and routing capabilities to the "Masamune" - including the external jack for their proprietary footswitch. An all-NUX pedalboard is looking increasingly likely and (maybe) affordable. The Fireman dual distortion sounds rad, and the Atlantic sounds as good as any boutique Reverb+Delay in demos and whatnot. I wish they'd do a dual modulation like a Jam Pedals Ripply Fall - just without the $575.00 pricetag! All the tone without the financial pain - that'd be nice :)
@@mattgilbert7347 I agree. I saw the demo for the Ace of Tone and will be getting one when it’s released in the US. The Atlantic and duotime are are also on the list. The Masamune and Solid Studio look good too. I’ve bought a few pedals to start my board. Already have a compressor, boost, amp/cab sim (went with the simplifier) a drive and looper. The NUX pedals would round out and complete it.
@@calebsueverkruepp5608 yeah, however that single 500ma port (even though there are two) is the only one that lowers my stomp. Even when no other pedals are being powered. Just thought it was interesting
Less hand and product movement as it distracts from the information. We need more of focused presentation without the physical razzle dazzle and slow down your speech a notch. I hope that helps.
I have the CS6 and it's been a solid reliable work horse for the past three years. No matter how I've changed my board it has met my power needs.
Does it heat up at all?
Not in a noticeable way.
No

And you should buy the CIOKS

I wanted to have CS6 before to power up HXStomp Bigsky Line6Wireless and SPxotic Comp. Ended up with Cioks 4.
hey brother I love what you are doing, it really helps the gang know their options, thanks for the video. God bless
Thanks for the encouragement!
I have the cs6 on my Mono and it works just fine the rubber feet make it work. Very quiet.

The CS6 can power even more pedals using daisy chaining. Not every pedal needs to have its own isolated power output.
Thanks!

Wooow! Justo el video que necesitaba! Tan especifico que da miedo jaja. Muchas gracias :D lml
Glad to help!
Is it still necessary to reverse the polarity with the current hx stomp? I believe the current ones are center negative.
you're correct...it was just that one of those adapters switched it again in the process and need to switch it back
Too bad CS6 can't power 24v for my MOOER Baby Bomb. Have to see if there's enough room under the board to put its power supply as well.
oh...that sticks

Do you have the CS6? You will need both. One converts the polarity and the other swaps the male to female end.
So the Logston Audio cable won’t invert the polarity? @HeyWorshipLeader

I really like that One Spot. My pedalboard is fairly large (11 pedals - no HX Stomp) so a cheaper but still powerful option is nice.
And now there’s the Cioks Sol and the Voodoolabs X4.

Did you find that the CS6 only powered the Stomp in that single 500ma port (farthest from the main power supply)?
This has been my experience. As long as you use one of the high current outputs, and don’t exceed the total current available in the unit.
@@calebsueverkruepp5608 yeah, however that single 500ma port (even though there are two) is the only one that lowers my stomp. Even when no other pedals are being powered. Just thought it was interesting
