1Spot over load.

[BassInUrFace]

I'm powering my pedal board with a 1spot (don't try and sell me anything else!) that i have attach to a power board, that i have attached to the bottom of my board.



im just wondering if i need to buy another one now that im buying more pedals.

I now have on my board:
EHX BBM Pi
DOD FX25
MXR BOD
3leaf Groove Regulator
Boss GEB-7
VT Bass

And will add a Korg PitchBlack and possibly another boss-like pedal.


so i will be powering 7 or 8 pedals with the single 1Spot. is this to much, do i need to buy another one? I no it supplys 1700mA of current, im just wondering if ill overload it.

I'm powering 8 pedals with my onespot and no problems whatsoever, althought I must say I rarely use two or more pedals simultaneously. I think you'll be fine.

EHX BBM Pi [<10mA]
DOD FX25 [10mA]
MXR BOD [14mA]
3leaf Groove Regulator [<25mA]
Boss GEB-7 [16mA]
VT Bass [5mA]
Korg PitchBlack [<30mA]

and possibly another boss-like pedal:
analog [<10mA]
or
digital [<50mA]

The most I can get out of adding those up is 160mA with a big fat digital Boss pedal.

You're good.

The 1spot puts out 1.7 amps. I think you'll be fine. No need for another one.

I'm running 10 pedals, analog and digital, with a single power-all, no problems yet. You'll run out of room on your board before you run out of juice

[burl0029]

As Ba55Man1ac did, just look in your manuals (or online) for the power consumption of each pedal and add up the total. They usually state it in the specs section. I have a Godlyke PowerAll (virtually the same as the 1spot) and it runs my board perfectly (currently 9 pedals).

[JoshC]

I run a:
DD-20, Nova Modulator, Korg DT-10, and 4 analogue pedals off an older 1000ma 1Spot, you're perfectly ok. They put out a lot of power.

Hi

I'm running 9 analogue pedals off a 1700ma Godlyke Power-All and that includes various boutique pedals and 3 old-style EHX (Small Clone, Small Stone and Bass Balls). They seem to work fine; but do any of you get any buzz or hum, even a little tiny bit?

Some buzz and hum is normal I think. I don't get enough that it bothers me. If you want 100% silent the isolated brick style power supplies are probably a good choice.

You're good.

[tdub0199]

You are fine...

[DenisLM]

all my board need only one 1spot

[FunkMetalBass]

Sweet pedalboard.

How do you keep the power outlet stationary?

[BassInUrFace]

i live in australia, and alot of the power boards come with a couple of holes underneath that you put a screw into and it will clip holding it in position (its hard to explain). those peices of wood are just to leave a gap so that I can thread zip-ties underneath it to hold the power adapters in place.

[U2addict]

The only noise i get is from my 2 line 6 tonecore pedals, but it says in the manual only to use one per one spot, so i expected some hum. It doesn't really bother me.

Hey, for all of you running more than 8 pedals with a one spot do you just stick another of those daisy chain pieces on the end of the first?

yep. I use the 5 slot daisy chains. I have two of them and just daisy chain the daisy chains. You can use as many daisy chain pieces, and power as many pedals as you want, just make sure you don't go over the 1700mA total.

Cool, i wasn't sure if that would work. Its defiantly cheaper to buy another daisy chain than another one spot

[FuzzBoxVoodoo]

I actually did have a problem with my 1spot because it couldnt supply enough power to my EBS Multicomp and it would clip badly even when it was the only pedal on.
I used a seperate 200ma boss to it until I upgraded to a Voodoo 2 PS.

[BassInUrFace]

yeah thanks everyone, just went out and got another x5 daisy chain.
