Pedalboard Power Supply and Consumption

[Jason86]

Hello all,
This is my first post here, so hopefully I'm in the right forum.
My question is specific to the Truetone 1 SPOT PRO CS12 and it's capabilities. Can it power all of my pedals? I use all 9vDC powered pedals, except one multi fx, which is 9vAC. The total consumption of all the 9vDC pedals is 513mA. The 9vAC multi fx pedal consumes up to 1300mA. I also have some LEDs that run on 12v 6A, that I would like to power off the same brick, but that may be impossible.
Now, based on some other reviews and videos, it would seem that the CS12 should work for at least all the pedals. But in the specs section, it shows the max power output to be only 800mA, which won't cut it. Am I missing something? Will it work? If not, is there another product that will?
Thanks in advance!

No, the AC output on the CS12 is 800ma and you need 1300ma. Dump the AC pedal and the CS12 will easily power everything else you have except for the LED’s.

Thanks for your quick response!
So am I correct in assuming each individual output has it's own dedicated aM's? As in if each one is at max draw except one, then that last unused one has it's given power left?
Also, the review I saw (sorry I can't find it again to share it) said that the AC output may draw from the unused power, allowing it to have more than the noted 800mA. Could that be true?

The Truetone CS12 is 3000ma max not 800: CS12 – Truetone

I have this same power supply and it’s amazing really. Been able to power a ton of stuff all at once! I was powering a Line6 M9 on the AC outlet along with 15 total other pedals and it worked fine. I did the math though:

Now I’ve downsized but I’m running mostly digital pedals now including a power hungry HX Stomp (on 9v DC- not using the AC anymore). The CS12 has amperage limits listed on the ports but it turns out it doesn’t matter as long as you don’t exceed the overall amp limit.

I’m saying you’d be good to go!

It ran all this without sweating at one point:

Thanks for the quick reply! Very helpful! I think I'll be buying one of these.
