Anybody have any stories to tell about 1-Spot? (Good, bad, other brands) I'm thinking of looking around for the combo pack & see who has it. It's $39.95 on the US site--so in that ballpark at a store would do fine. I've mostly been using 2 regular adapter plugs + 9v batteries. But as I'm considering selling my Flanger--there goes one of my adapters--it's an old Boss that doesn't take batteries. If I keep it, I'm going to start using it.
Anyway--it seems a decent price for what it is--especially when I see adapter plugs for effects (just one plug alone) for more than half that price.
Thanks,

I've had one on my board for about 2 years now, and I've never looked for anything else. I've had it powering 8 or 9 pedals at some point, and I never get any noise or other unwanted effects. I highly recommend them.

I have one and love it .
I got mine off evilbay then found them at Mothers music in Saskatoon for the same price and they also had all the extra parts.
So I'm thinking they should also be selling them at Mothers in Calgary.
The newer one's have about 10 feet of nice heavy wire on them which makes me think it should last along time.
cheers B.

It is true. I got mine where you got yours. I saw them at Mother's Music in Calgary last weekend when I was there. I like mine too.

I've got no complaints. And with the various accesories I can power my Rat and a couple 18v puppies without trouble.

I've got the Godlyke powerall, which is a pretty similar product. In fact, if you take a look at the two products, I'm sure they're the exact same and probably made in the same factory and rebadged either Visual Sound or Godlyke. Anyway, it's a great product and works like a dream. I was lusting after a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power II, but this was waaaaaay cheaper and I can't find any reason to justify using something else. The only thing it can't do is the big Line 6 pedals (DL-4, etc).

Thanks for the info/opinions everybody. I don't have any Line 6 pedals and have no plans to get any (I also saw this on their website.)
I haven't had time since posting this request to get to Mother's--but I'll be checking them out tomorrow or Friday or Saturday.

I'd also like to say thanks to everyone for the great info in this thread. I have played guitar for quite some time but know virtually nothing about how pedals should be set up, so when I saw the 1spot adapter thing on eBay I dismissed it as a gimmick / fire hazard and resigned myself to shelling out big $$$ for lots of adapters or a brick like the pedal power.
You guys just saved me alot of money as I build my first pedal board, which means I can spend that money on.... MORE PEDALS!!! :smile: :rockon:

There are folks out there who do not like the digital switching power supplies. There is teh chance of some clock noise being generated, or possibly the supply can deliver more current than the pedal wants/needs, and bad things can happen. I've never seen this first hand, but it is possible.
I have a 1 spot, and so far I trust it.
I have 2 of the Godlyke poweralls that I have used for a couple of years with great results.
