3Leaf Audio Club - Episode 2

Has anyone run an Enabler on a 1spot, and any problems doing so? Picking up an Enabler this afternoon and was hoping to avoid a costly power supply upgrade. I've only got 4 other (relatively low draw) pedals on my board...

I do without ANY issues whatsoever. I would not run it on one 1-Spot along with 10 other high consumption pedals. Just make sure you are not overloading the 1-Spot or Godlyke Powerall and you should be fine.

Talk about opening up the drum kit! I don't need to tell you all of the possibilities...
 
All righty right, kids... with all the talk about the 3Leaf Copperbox, the Octabvre and all the speculation that went along with them (including the names ;) ;)), I've gone back through and caught a couple adds to the club that I missed:

132. jastacey (Enabler #197)
133. Jeff Moote (You're Doom)
134. Thomaskung (Proton White Edition)
135. JTonBass (Proton White Edition)
136. enjoi1018 (Enabler)

I also updated a few comings and goings (like black Protons leaving in favor of the white one).

And just a reminder friends, if you'd like a number, post some pedal(board) porn of your 3Leaf goodness! Here's mine... I got my steelbox You're Doom mounted, but am still messing with placement. I also found that even with the gain all the way down, it's still MUCH dirtier than the sound on Spencer's prototype video and I can't get that sound. I'm wondering if the bass I was using was just hitting it with too hot a signal... will test that theory later today.

I think it might have just been the bass. I can get some very Moog-ish, low-gain sounds with the You're Doom.

Also, I will be posting a picture or two and joining the club soon! I've had a You're Doom for a while now, and I just bought an Enabler.

I run my Enabler on a one spot with a few other pedals without any trouble.

Thanks, fellas. You're right; no problems at all with my 1spot, and I've now got a total of 6 pedals on my board. Btw, guess I can probably take a number... :laugh:

Thanks for adding me to the list. I've also got the purple Wonderlove. It's all in the colour. :-)
 
Has anyone else experienced a fried Enabler? I've used mine almost daily for 2 years and it seems to have fried this past weekend. I use it at the end of my chain as a preamp and occasional DI. I power it with a 9 volt output from my Voodoo Labs 4x4 that delivers far more than 300 mA of juice.

When I engage the pedal, I'm hearing a loud pop and then my sound cuts out. The headphone amp does not work anymore either. I used the DI this past Sunday at a festival--might that have screwed it up?

I've emailed Spencer directly, but wanted to see if anyone on here has experienced a similar problem.

Happened to mine... the power chip fried. I did what you did, and Spence had me up and running in like 3 days total. Super fast.

He said he's seen only a couple of them do this.
 
And it worked fine before that gig? Were they sending phantom power on the line?

Yep, worked perfectly for almost 2 years. Phantom power is a possibility...we only had 15 minutes to set up, so I didn't have time to straighten that out with the sound man, but I told them I was using my own DI. Not sure why he would figure it needed phantom power if I didn't ask for it.

Interesting, that sounds likely to be my problem. I'm hoping to hear from Spencer soon. Thanks!
