Title: New Isolated 1SPOT coming.
Post by: GrindCustoms on May 09, 2015, 11:25:49 PM
VisualSound/TrueTone are releasing 2 new one spots with isolated outputs.

The C12, by the info and what is seen on their website seems to be very interesting, will probably snag one when it comes out.

Looks indeed cool! Will be good to find out more about it!

Very cool, been meaning to (aka putting off) build a decent power supply but if the price is right on this I just might have to pick one up...Nice find!

What i think i like the most out of that one is the 9-12V outputs, bouncing 2 of them together to power up some of my EHXs and the 500mA 9V outputs from wich i could use one to daisy chain my lower power consumption pedal in Pre and use the other available output to do the same with those in the Post... 2 small daisy chain, but isolated.... pretty sure i'd get quiter operation that way.

Have'nt bought any other MultipleOutput PSU since my DCBrick many years ago... i'm due.

I'd really like it if all 12 could be standard 9V DC but it doesn't look like that is an option.  I still may grab one.

$180


There's a smaller one coming, too. I think it's $120-ish.

The second from the right has 500mA output, but that's the only one I think. Love all the options on it, looks fantastic. I've never ran into a problem with having a non-isolated power supply, but this looks good enough to get just for the multiple types of outputs.

It have:

2x 18V 100mA
4x 9-12V 100mA
1x 4-9V 100mA
2x 9V 250mA
2x 9V 500mA
1x 9VAC 800mA

Even with 250mA, it could safely power at least 5 dirt pedals with that single output.... i think i'll need a bigger pedal board after grabbing that..  :o

Yeah, and I'd imagine that R.G. probably had something to do with the planning and testing process, so I'd imagine it to be a top flight piece in terms of quality.

That's pretty good.  I think I can make that work.

Very nice. I think this is the one for me to replace the PP2+.

You guys should also check out the MXR MC403 power supply.  It's got a ton of outputs.  I've got one of them and it's been great so far

mxr has a new one coming out soon that's like their old brick, but is fully isolated.  it looks pretty great, but it seems to be designed to mount on top, with the pedals.  to me it looks too tall to go underneath, but it's hard to say.  see what you think.

This new 1 spot pro looks pretty good.  MAP of 179 from what i'm reading, which is a bit more than i thought it'd go for.

179$ is a bit steep... but still less than a PP2+ and offers more than that one... and cheaper than the MXR that Dave referred us to.. though.. that one is much more complete.

pp2+ = 169 at sweetwater but yeah the 1-spot has more options.  as always, it just depends what you need.

Ah! I was scrolling through the ebay sellers and it was a bit above that.... but yeah, at this point i think it's more a matter of what you actually need.

For me, it's needing 300mA on two outputs. The 9vAC would be good for rectification for a submini OD or amp.

Reading up on it a bit and it seems that stringing several 9v pedals together might not be such a bad thing. I did it for many years and didn't know any better. Sounded good to me! So having this thing is really luxurious! For OCD having everything on it's own Isolated circuit is magic now if you could put them in alphabetical order and have them perfectly spaced then well HEAVEN!

I just picked up a Decibel 11 Hot Stone Deluxe for $159 due to a CamelCamelCamel price-watch on Amazon.  Now I need to evaluate if that was such a good deal...  hmm...

$159 got me 8 isolated outputs, 10 total outputs, 1600ma total power:
2x - 9v and 12v set, 400ma split between each voltage on each set
2x - 9v or 12v 200ma each
2x - 9v 100ma each
2x - 5v-9v variable 100ma each

At the regular price of $179 it wouldn't be as good of a deal compared to the new 1Spot Pro C12, but at $159 I still think it's a good deal.
