Sadowsky Preamp/DI, Ok to use with 1 Spot?

[bthiemann80]

Wondering if anyone out there is using a 1 Spot power supply to power a Sadowsky Preamp/DI pedal and if it's alright to use or is the Sadowsky power supply the only option. Thanks!

I just bought a Sadowsky preamp, the latest version. Yes, they try to scare you into spending $25.00 on their power supply stating that they won't warranty the preamp if you use something else. Boy, do I hate it when companies do this.

Actually, what they mean is, you should be using a 9V 200mA Class 2 regulated power supply, pin negative. If your power supply meets those parameters, no problem.

I've been running mine with a $5.00 Danelectro power supply.

BTW, I love what this preamp does for my rig and tone. And I never worry about "what if my amp dies tonight."

Yep used my Sadowsky pedal with a 1 spot for years

My Sadowsky DI is a little noisy when I use it with my one spot. I always run it with a battery. Battery life is very good, and it has true bypass in case the battery dies. Not sure if the DI part works with a dead battery though.
