Godlyke Power-All or Visual Sound 1 Spot?

Sign in to disble this ad
Okay,
So I want to go with a more space efficient power source for the 4 effects that I use. I am between the Godlyke Power-All and the Visual Sound 1 Spot. My questions are:

(1) Will they actually power my pedals correctly and safely, sans hum?

(2) Which one would be better, who has used them and has had better luck with one or the other?

The 4 pedals:
  • Electronix/Zeibek GeminiDrive II
  • AnalogMan Mini-Chorus
  • MXR Bass Octave Deluxe
  • MXR Bass Envelope Filter

Thanks everyone!

Gus

i've personally never used a godlyke, but onespots are great.
i use one with 5 pedals regularly and occasionally add a second chain to it to power one or two more pedals with no problems.
quiet, safe, compact and cheap.

I think they're essentially identical. I use the Godlyke, but not for any particular reason.

I've used both in the past, and I've never noticed any difference.

There's really very little to choose between the two beyond price-- they're essentially the same, and the cables and adapters are interchangeable.

Thanks. I believe I will end up going with the 1 Spot.
