Truetone NW1-B - 1 SPOT Series - 9v pedal power supply

Product Information

We recognize that not all guitar pedals run off 9V. That’s why all 1 SPOT Pro models have outputs that can put out 9Vdc, 12Vdc or 18Vdc. The CS12 even has a variable voltage output for old-style fuzz pedals, and a 9Vac output for certain Line6 and Digitech pedals. And if you need to change the voltage of an output, Truetone also makes inexpensive converter cables to help you. There’s the Voltage Doubler, which does exactly what its name says, and the 18V to 9V Converter... which also does what its name says. They don’t have the most clever names, but they get the job done! Then there are mA requirements: while some fuzz and overdrive pedals might only draw 10mA, contemporary digital and multi-effects can draw anywhere from 100-1,000mA. In these instances, you’ll need to look at power supplies that are able to output higher mA from each output. Do guitar pedals use AC or DC power?

The 1 SPOT is the original 9V DC adapter that only takes up one spot on your power strip. With the ability to handle up to 1700mA, the 1 SPOT can power your entire pedalboard. The Truetone 1 Spot Pro CS6 Power Supply compes complete with everything you need to simplyplug-and-play. Radial Tonebone 15Vdc pedals can be powered by an 18Vdc output, using the Reverse Polarity Converter (CYR) included with the 1 SPOT Pro. Please note this used to be known as the Visual Sound 1 Spot- the company has now changed its name to Truetone!)

Truetone 1 Spot Power Supply

With optional converter plugs, the 1 SPOT will work with virtually ANY 9V pedal, including Line 6 modeling pedals Compatible with Boss PSA, Boss ACA, DOD PS-200R, Morley 9V, Danelectro DA-1, Dunlop ECB-03, Ibanez AC109, Zoom AD-0006 adapters

Line 6 POD or M13 cannot be powered by the 1 SPOT Pro CS12, even on the 9Vac output. The milliamp draw is too large for those units. x CYR (5.5x2.1mm barrel input, 5.5x2.1 barrel output; reverse polarity) Red reverse polarity converter Outputs:8 x 100mA outputs, 4 high-current 300mA outputs, 2 switchable 9-volt/12-volt outputs, 1 switchable 9-volt/18-volt outputIf your pedal can be powered by a 9Vdc battery, it can be powered by one of the 9Vdc outputs ( an exception being the Boss ACA pedals, see below). True to the spirit of the original 1 Spot power supplies, the new 1 Spot Pro range uses exactly the same switching power supply technology. x CL6 – (5.5x2.1mm barrel input, 5.5x2.5 barrel output; reverse polarity) Green – for Line 6 DL4/M9/etc. and some Eventide pedals.

The 1 SPOT Pro CS6 includes a generous assortment of cables and converter plugs. The cables are of various lengths, color-coded for easy cable management and with right angle plugs on the pedal end. Line 6 modeling pedals (DL-4/MM-4) may be powered by outputs 8-11, but will also require the CL6 converter. You may optionally use output 12, as the power input of these pedals can use 9Vac or 9Vdc. The most important decision you need to make when buying one of the best pedalboard power supplies is whether you need isolated outputs or not. Essentially, isolated outputs supply each pedal with its own individual power source, which removes hum from the equation – something you may experience when running digital and analog pedals together from the same daisy chain. Unless you’re only running a handful of analog units - which is highly unlikely these days - we’d always recommend an isolated pedal power supply wherever possible. Who knows how your rig might change in the future? What power supply do I need for my pedal board? The Truetone 1 SPOT is a 9V PSU that only takes up 1 Spot on an outlet strip or wall outlet.The Truetone 1 SPOT solves an annoying problem that people have complained about for years. Only takes up ONE position on your outlet strip or wall outlet. Handles from one to over twenty guitar pedals (1700mA max!) New heavy duty output cable. Many germanium based fuzzes and Octavia-style pedals will require the use of the CYR adaptor to reverse the polarity to center pin positive.In keeping with the tradition of the 1 Spot, Truetone have opted to use the same Switching Power Supply technology for the 1 Spot Pro range. Input Power: The 1 SPOT Pro CS6 can be used anywhere in the world without the use of a step-up or step-down transformer. Like theoriginal 1 SPOT, it transforms wall voltage from 100-240Vac, and converts it into the stated voltages on the bottom of the unit

Input Voltage: The 1 SPOT Pro CS6 can be used anywhere in the world without the use of a step-up or step-down transformer. It transforms wall voltage anywhere between 100-240Vac. Note: Outputs 1-11 can each handle more than the stated mA number. However, it is important to never exceed the max. current rating of all outputs simultaneously.

Overdrives or fuzzes that sound/feel better at lower voltage should utilize output 7. Set the dip switch to the “on” position, and adjust the mini-pot on the face of the unit to the desired voltage, anywhere from 4-9Vdc. You can even use the 1 SPOT anywhere in the world without a voltage converter because it automatically converts voltage worldwide. No need to worry about AC hum interfering with your sound either... the 1 SPOT is one of the quietest power sources you can buy.
