Visual Sound 1 Spot

Super easy. You plug it in to the wall and go. To expand the power capabilities, I suggest buying an MC-5 or MC-8 daisy chain extension. You can power multiple pedals at once all through the 1 Spot's power adapter without adding additional power adapters & 12v sockets. AND, to expand for additional pedals (if you're starting out with 5 9v adapters) just add another daisy chain and you'll get 4 or 7 more 9v plugs to allow for expansion. So easy and very inexpensive.

I have notice absolutely zero interference or grounding issues with the power to this point. I'm running the power through my chain, which consists of a Fulltone OCD, VS Jekyll & Hyde, VS H2O, and a Boss DD-20 in to a Fender Deville. No hums or hisses or inadequate power routing that would hurt volume.

It's not built like a tank, so don't treat it like one. But it should hold up just fine. Been using it for 3 months now and absolutely no problems. If you have a pedal board, you'll probably never bring harm to it while transporting (which is usually the biggest threat to your pedals).

Great value. For the price you'll save hundreds of dollars over other pedal power products. While it's not the most professional path to go, it's certainly the most affordable. If you're going to run 10-15 pedals, you might want to spend a little more and invest to protect. The 1 Spot doesn't have anything like a surge protector so that's your only weak spot (if the wall or power strip you're running through doesn't have a surge protector already built in). But if you're reading through this and wondering if it's worth buying, definitely!

Didn't notice when I got it, but now 3 mos later it is noisy!!. Hum noise!

Hum goes away when I take it out of my pedal chain and go back to using the original adapters.

i've been playing for 25 yrs.

Bone head easy to use. I power three pedals, all but one are Boss, the other a Tube Screamer TS808. Plug in and go.

I have had no problems with reference to losing power or getting any hiss from the 1-Spot power adaptor. I've used it regularly and with no problems so far, and its been a year now.

So far so good. I wrote 1-Spot for a question or two and got an immediate response to my concerns. Parts for this inexpensive product can be found most everywhere. So even if it goes bad, I'd just buy another one as it sure won't break a pocket book.

Called like I said once with a concern before I purchased and got an immediate response. So based on that one experience I'm giving them a 10, but if others have had bad experiences, they should send out the word on what they had to deal with. I'm pleased at this point.

The 1-Spot is a dirt cheap item in relation to everything I own, from pedals to guitars to amps, to everything that goes with guitars. I will be purchasing a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 soon as I'm expanding my board. About the only negative I have for the product; while the daisy chain reaches the pedals if they are in a line, I'm now running a wah and volume pedal between a delay and the others which really puts a max stretch on the length of the chain. (thus the lower score, but only for that reason). Since I'm getting into the PedalTrain Pro board (which is set up for the Voodoo) and the chains are individual, it will work much better. But make no mistake, if you use a limited number of pedals, this is a great product for the price, and would make a fine cheap but worthwhile gift for someone.

Visual Sound has obviously put a lot of consideration into this product. It has a very long cable and many convenient accessories can be purchased for it, like daisy-chain cables, adapters, and 9V battery plugs. It only takes up one space on a power bar. I only give it a nine because of the inherent messiness of all these cables.

The 1Spot gives all one can hope for in terms of sound quality. Even through the noisiest of pedals, no 60Hz hum is audible. The power it gives out is pure 9V DC.

The 1Spot is enclosed in plastic, like most wall warts. The plastic isn't particularly strong or weak. I trust it, it's just not bulletproof.

A really good, well thought out, and well-made product, Visual Sound has done a great job. If it were lost, I would buy another one.

Couldn't be easier.

Powers 3 pedals in my board with ease and no noise.

Been going strong for about 5 years.

No need to deal with them.

This thing is dirt cheap, powers up to 6 pedals, takes up almost no space, and is quiet. What more could you want?

Very easy to use.

Killer, works with most pedals and Im not sure why more people dont use these. I have 3 just in case!

5+ years and no issues.

Great company, always willing to help customers.

Amazing device I wish more people used it. For their own sake! ha

Very easy to use. I had it all plugged in about a minute. It's very self explanatory just by looking at it. I've never had pedals before but I managed to arrange the extra slack between pedals creatively so it doesn't look messy. Looks pretty snazzy!

I purchased the adapter and daisy chain separately because it was a few dollars cheaper that way. Plus the daisy chain had 5 plugs which is 1 more than I needed (rather than the Adapter/Chain combo pack which has 3 more than I needed).

I'm a bass player so I don't have any crazy effects like any shredders out there. I run a Boss Tuner > Boss Super Chorus > Digi Tech Hyper Phase > Boss Metal Zone (previously ran a Sans Amp Bass Driver for distortion). The signal is quiet at all times regardless if the pedals are on/off (in live settings and at practice). The only time there's hiss is when my Metal Zone is on, but it would also do that with a battery anyway, so I know it's not the 1 Spot. Plus when I had my Sans Amp on for distortion it was quiet 100% of the time.

Reliable so far. The salesman emphasized to use a grounded power strip (no, duh) to plug it into, which I did. I took it a step further, I also purchased a 16 Gauge 3 prong grounded extension chord for the power strip at a hardware store. Didn't know if it'd make a difference in keeping unwanted surges/noises out, but I feel safer having it than a skinny generic household chord (it was only a few bucks anyway).

Haven't needed it.

My guitar player is the one who turned me on to this. He has a more elaborate set-up and loves it. He sounds great. He also has a noise gate running through it, but I think he owned it before he got the 1 Spot. But He likes it, I like it. We play hard rock/alternative/metal styles and our sound hasn't been compromised using it.

Plug it in!

OK, here's my setup: Telecaster>>Vox Wah>>Fulltone GT-500>>Digitech Bad Monkey>>Boss DD-3 (Delay))>>Fender Blues Junior NOS Tweed Limited Edition (Jensen C12n speaker). Adequately powers my entire board with all pedals on (not something I ever do live, but I had to test it).

I am not using the "daisy chain" adapters (sold seperately). Instead, I use it is the power supply for the board itself and plug each pedal into the board. I've noticed less noise, and a noticable improvement in sound quality from some of the pedals. I think the Fulltone benefited most from this and sounds absolutely glorious (but that's another review...).

No issues yet (6 weeks)

Never contacted.

I play blues, classic rock, modern rock, and gospel/funk/R&B-ish stuff mostly for my church but also some other studio and gigging projects. Been playing for about 22 years now. Been through alot of gear in that time. Some I wish I still had and others...well, good riddance. I'm sure that if my budget was larger I would easily find better power supplies but this lil' fella does the trick and does it well.

I am satisfied for now. Being happy with my tonal pallet is not easy for me as I suffer from TCD ("tone-chasing disease")but I am right now content for the first time in more that 5 years! This thing made a difference for me in a big way so I'll give high overall marks.

It's an (8) pedal adaptor. If you can't set it up, you shouldn't be playing guitar.

This adaptor powered six pedals for me, with total of about 70mA in power drain. This adaptor worked fine for about 2 months then after playing for about 30 minutes I would start to get a loud hiss in all my pedals. Then a week short of 3 months use, I got this high pitch squeal and extrememly loud hiss one day. I thought a preamp tube in my amp had gone bad. Started trouble shooting all my pedals and adaptors. All the noise went away when the 1 Spot Adaptor was removed from my chain and replaced with individual Boss adaptors. Problem solved, the 1 Spot fried after less than 3 months use.

It fried after less than 3 months steady use with only a 70mA power drain. This thing is supposed to be rated for 1700 mA, so 70mA is a no brainer. I gave it a 3 because it did work for 3 months.

Don't know, but I am going to return it to Guitar Center where I bought it and see if they stand behind this product they sold me.

I have been playing guitar for 38 years, so I know how to trouble shoot a pedal chain. When you get alot of hiss, noise, and high pitch squeal, that is the first place you look. 1 Spot was definitely the problem. I choose the 1 Spot because of the low $35 price and I could eliminate multiple adaptors from my pedal board. But if it is going to crap out in less than 3 months, I don't know if I want another one or not. Good thing this didn't happen at a gig or I would have sacrificed the Visual Sound 1 Spot to the rock gods and burned it on a stake.

Very good. Plug it in and forget it's there.

I've been using the 1-Spot for over a year and I've experienced far less noise than the universal power supplies I was using before. Most of the time there is no noise at all, just occasionally in a place with bad current or where the wall outlets are ungrounded, but in that situation you'll get noise with any power supply.

My main pedal board contains two Boss BD-2 Blues Drivers an early 80's DOD FX-65 chorus (blue casing) and a Boss TR-2 Tremolo. I play a 2006 Eric Clapton strat, a 1988 12-string strat and occasionally an Ibanez AF75 arch-top, through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with a Mojo extension cabinet. My entire pedal board is run through the effects loop in the Deluxe.

Now here's one thing about noise. I highly recommend no AC power on your pedal board if at all possible, unless one of your units requires it. If you run AC to your board, you'll always run the risk of some noise no matter what unit you use, due to the proximity of audio and patch cables. My 1-Spot is plugged into an AC drop box that sits behind my amp stack. I shortened the cord to about three inches and put a heavy-duty auto trailer light connector on it, the other half of which is connected to an eighteen-foot standard AC cord with a 2.1MM DC connector on the pedal board end, which connects to the 1-Spot 5-way to run the pedals. So the pedal board snake consists of that line plus audio-to and audio-from. This way there is no AC anywhere near the pedal board or any of my instrument cables. I have found this to be an excellent way to prevent the possibility of magnetic interference from AC.

I have used this for over a year with no problems whatsoever.

I've been playing professionally for a living since 1974. I play rock and roll, blues and some country. I would definitely buy another one if this one were lost or stolen. I do have a second one for back up because I like to cover the bases, but I've never had to use it. I am considering buying an additional one to power my secondary pedal board. This board sits back by the amp and contains an AudioTech ABC unit, a Planet Waves CT-04 tuner and a Boss GE-7 EQ for the 12-string (I currently power those units with batteries to prevent the possibility of ground-loop).

It is as easy as any power cable unit. Once I had my board laid out I didn't have any trouble running the daisy cables. I actually use 2 5 outlet cables which gives me a total of 9 power connections off of 1 1-Spot. Someone just asked me today was it clean and I said yes, but he ended up checking out himself. I am getting a 2nd one just to give a backup and even my load just in case. But you can easily run that many pedals off of one. I've had at least 5 effect active at any given time and even more a few times.

As above I was asked about hum or noise and we verified there was none. It runs all my effects easily, but I want a 2nd so if something happened live I'd be covered.

I've had mine about a year with no problems yet.

No reason yet to deal with them.

I am a traditional rock/blues player, but am now playing Christian music. I've been playing over 31 years and this has been the easiest setup yet for me. I would consider one of the other power bricks, but it hasn't seemed necessary yet. This has been a solid product so far.

Very easy to use. Just plug it in.

Used it with Boss dd-20, boss od-20, zoom gs.1u , and Danelectro Fab overdrive.
There defiantly was a noticeable buzz when all the units were plugged in.
I later replaced it with a Dunlop brick and all the hum went away.
It works good for one pedal but the daisy chain is inherently noisy.

No problems with it funtioning.

Didn't deal with them.

I already replaced it so I would have to say, save your money and get a Dunlop DC Brick.
It will still work as a wall wart for one pedal though.

Obviously very simple to use. It was a little difficult to make the daisy-chain look neat with so much slack in between plugs... but it's much better to have more cable than you need than to not have enough.

The right angle plugs are brilliant, I don't know why nobody else offers them.

I was actually hesitant to buy this product because of some negative reviews I read about noise and whatnot. Now I am convinced they these people are having issues that are not related to the 1-Spot. I'd recommend this two anybody unless they have tons of power-hungry E-H pedals or Boss double pedals or something.

I'm powering a Dunlop JH-1 Wah, Boss BD-2 Blues Driver, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, Boss TR-2 Tremolo and Line 6 Echo Park. Even the Echo Park, which has been notoriously documented to get noisy when put on a daisy-chain, has given me zero problems.

I'd bet that people having sound quality issues are plugging the adaptor into a bad power strip (or one that's loaded down with all kinds of other stuff) that's sending hum through the chain.

After doing some tidying on my pedal board, I did notice that my Wah started giving me a slight pop when clicking on or off. It's probably because I shoved all the extra daisy-chain cabling into its empty battery compartment. I didn't notice it doing that before. Good idea aesthetically, probably a bad idea electronically. I'll need to find another way to hide all the excess cable.

I don't see why anything would happen to the 1-Spot under normal conditions. It's great for gigs (probably more geared towards those who use a pedal board) and much more reliable than a rat's-nest of cables and wall warts.

I love when people complain about the fact that the plug is plastic... have you ever heard of a metal AC adaptor? I guess they could make it out of some kind of heavy-duty rubber material.

I am very impressed with the thickness of the main cable. Far better than the extremely flimsy "official" AC adaptors from Boss, Line 6, Dunlop, etc. I feel like I would snap those cables with the slightest tug. Not so with the One-Spot. The main cable is thicker than the one for my TV!

This is great for gigging, church bands or messing around at home. Great for people on a budget because it eliminates the need to keep buying batteries, and it's far cheaper than the $100+ alternatives.

Now if you're a serious touring musician or going into a pro studio, you should definitely look elsewhere for more professional pedal powering options, but I would highly recommend this in most other situations

No sound, simple plug with a 5 jack extension.

a bit of noise over the 9V batteries but not much... I would suggest having good jumper cables and a nice shield guitar cable both to the amp and from the guitar.

Looks solid to me. I velcroed the adaptor so it does not rattle around in my pedal case.

N/A

This does exactly what I wanted it to do. A bit of noise, but nothing to fuss about unless you plan to record directly into a box or something.

Amazing value for the price too.

Easy enough to use. It probably came with directions but were tossed because it seemed easy enough to use. It was.

I have had the 1 spot for only about a month now and have never had a problem yet. I have not noticed any added noise from my set-up. I would say its a very quiet power source. I originally bought just the power adapter and one 5 link daisy chain. Ive aquired one more pedal so I needed to add another 5 link daisy chain. Simple enough.
Still works the same way only now I have an extra 4 links for later.
I am using it with boss pedals,guyatone,MI Audio,xotic bb and Ibanez ts-808. They all work great and I dont notice any noise at all.

I believe I could depend on it. So far so good for me. I take care
of all my stuff so it should last a while. Its also housed in my pedal board so it doesnt get moved around too much either

never spoke to them,,,hope I dont

Im glad I tried the 1 spot. I was totally against using adapters at all,,trying to stay on the battery path, but after aquiring more pedals it seemed worth the while to look into a pedal chain adapter.
I finally bought it,,,hooked it up to the pedals I had and was very pleased. I eventually bought a powerless pedal board because of it and now everything seems very easy and orderly.

I'm in the "noise" camp, which seems to be every 5th post in this thread.

Mine's an older one, at the time I bought two. A Visual Sound 1 spot, and an some other brand. One of the online houses was selling this one made in Germany that just says "Switchmode Power" on the back. I don't think it was made for music per-se.

The 1 Spot causes this noise that comes through the speaker, it's kind of like a theremin sounding high D note. It's kind of funny, a guy I play with says it sounds like the background of a 50's sci fi movie. So I throw some $400 modulation on it :) Good for laughs, but unacceptable for the the gig rig, and now it is being booted from rehearsals.

However the other brand "Switchmode Power" works great, powers a ton of pedals quietly. I am searching for another, and am wondering if the Godlyke one is the off brand I speak of branded with their label?

I can depend on that high D note, always.

You know maybe I should try, but mine is so old the logo is different. If they honored it, I'd be happy but have seen other companies do similar. (Sabine's stick on tuner, replaced years later when it fell and broke, no questions no warrenty card).

Seriously, I know how to troubleshoot- been in the IT business as a sys admin since the 80s. I don't jump to conclusions easily, I've swapped things out, and the power supply is the culprit.

Speculation as to why the noise might be in the design... whatever is used to switch (to give what is required by digital switch) is causing oscillation that leaks into the effect circuit somehow. Now thinking about it the sound is like when a noisy guitar/amp is near a computer.

N/A

No noise issues whatsoever. My boss delay is actually quiet now, thanks to the voltage regulation in the one spot.

We'll see. Looks pretty tough.

N/A

So far I love it... It sure has cleaned up the clutter on my pedalboard. So far I'm running a tuner, 3 boss pedals, and a line 6 rotomachine from it and my rig is dead quiet. I bought an extra cable and plan on adding my custom overdrives and fuzzes to it as well. (I tried a few out last night and they worked great with zero noise as well.) I see no point in wasting board space for a power supply when I can just use this. What a great product!

Everyone else has acerbically covered this - it's really easy.

I use this to power my BOSS PH-2, EH Small Stone, EH Big Muff, and 1976 Univox Micro-Fazer. In my opinion, it's the best adapter you can buy. It powers all the pedals nicely, puts out a consistent 9.4 volts, and adds much LESS noise then other adapters. Yes, it is noisier then batteries - as are all adapters - but compared to the normal BOSS transformers, this thing is dead quiet. Even my Big Muff is hum-free. The only thing I noticed is that the ultra-fast phaser speeds tend to sound a little more garbled with this then with batteries, but that may be my imagination.

The unit has nice weight to it and the cords seem to be of pretty good quality. I wouldn't abuse it, but it seems to be durable enough. I'm using the battery clip and phone-plugs that came with the combo pack and haven't had a single problem.

N/A

I play everything - 9v is universal. It's the best adapter I've ever used, and the small size is a definite bonus. I now have a shoe-box full of 9v transformers.

You plug it into the wall...easy

I am using a pignose 40V with a 2X12 cab, OLP MM1 guitar and a Washburn Mercury Strat style guiter w/EMG active pickups - BOSS TU-2, Morley Wah, Rocktron Silver Dragon Distortion, Danelectro FAB Chorus, and a Carl Martin Red Repeat...Everything is VERY quiet when I use my OLP guitar...when I plug in the Washburn with the active pickups I noticed some buzz until I touch something metal on my guitar...grounding issue with the GUITAR not the 1 spot.

Owned a Godlyke before and the 1 Spot sounds just the same..

I depend on this for gigging since I have been burned with 9V batteries dying on me during a performance...I wouldn't use a backup.

N/A

Its an amazing essential product that is needed if you gig and have multiple pedals...batteries are uneliable and add up in price very quickly....

Simple, plug the daisy chain into each effect, then to the one spot then to the wall. simple.

I haven't experienced any hum or noise other than the usual noises from my amp. Using various Ibanez RG series electric and I have two pedal boards set up with one spots and daisy chains. My main board:;Boss metal zone,boss EQ, boss Chorus, Boss enhancer,Boss noise suppressor. Second board;DOD envelope filter,Arion octaver,DOD Phaser,Ibanez Digital Delay, Boss Noise suppressor. This system powers both boards quietly and effortlessly.

I haven't had it very long but mine have the thicker cord and it seems pretty sturdy, I would gig with a backup-murphys law-but I think it is a well built system.

Haven't dealt with them yet but I have heard good things about their customer service.

I have about 13 or 14 pedals-I'm a gear addict- And this works well with all of them. I had grown tired of blowing lots of money on 9 volt batteries and this is one of the best ways to solve that problem without spending lots of cash. Do your research to see if this system as there are some pedals that require extra adaptors, but the One Spot should help most guitarists eliminate wall warts and batteries. I would recommend this highly to guitarists like me who have lots of pedals and a need a relatively inexpensive way to power them.

Plug it into the wall. Plug other end into pedal(s). Easy as pie.

Unusable. It produces an extremely annoying hum/buzz sound that just won't go away. I've tried it with several pedals (in combinations or individually), with several amps, with a few guitars, and with several different cables in three seperate locations. One amp was even battery powered (Roland Microcube); so it's not a ground loop issue. I use quality Planet Waves and Bill Lawrence cables; so it's not a matter of crappy cables. The hum/buzz is even present with the cable that is meant to go from the guitar to the first pedal is not connected; the buzz, however, does go away when I touch the shield part of the plug (the part you pull on to pull it out of a jack). I tried several outlets in all three locations. However, the buzz does go away when I touch something metal on the guitar or pedal, so it must be some kind of grounding issue in the 1 Spot. The pedal was NOT defective as I sent it back to Visual Sound and they replaced it. Both adapters had the same noise problems.

Be wary of these "switching" power supplies as they are very sensitive to noise. I'm willing to bet that there are a lot of people that are getting noise, but don't notice it in high volume, gig situations.

But what can you really expect for $30, right?

See above. This thing is absolutely worthless.

They were quite snappy on email responses and even replaced the adapter for me. However, it was, in the end, entirely futile, and I ended up wasting the cost of shipping twice--once to Visual Sound and the other time back to Musician's Friend. What a big waste of time and money. Although they tried to be helpful at Visual Sound, in the end they had no answer for me. I can't imagine that I'm the only one with these problems.

I'd really be wary of these. Only get one if you can get one from a store with a good return policy. Expect the worst.

Just plug it, hook up the daisy chain and whatever adapters you need, and you're set. It's power supply so how hard could it be?

Does add some noise, but not much more than my rig already puts out anyway, so it's really no problem. At present I'm using this with a Memphis '72 Tele Custom copy through three Danelectro pedals, a Fab Tone, a Tuna Melt tremelo, and BLT echo into a Music Man RP 65 112. All pedals work fine with this. It also seems that when using this instead of a 9 volt the Fab Tone seems a bit less harsh. I'm not sure if it's just this adaptor, as before this I only ever used it with batteries.

I'm only playing as a hobby these days, so this stays at home. However I don't see any reason why you couldn't gig with this with no problems. Backups are always a good thing to have, but I would feel pretty safe gigging with this with no backup or batteries.

Never had to deal with 'em.

For the price I paid, you can't beat it, and it's definitely much cheaper than having to buy a pack of 9 volts all the time. If something were to happen to this, I might buy another one or I may look into the Godlyke Powerall. But, if you're sick of 9 volts and wall warts, this is definitely worth a shot.

Are you kidding?

Does add a fair bit of noise. I had a Godlyke Powerall which I lost, so I bought this to replace it. BIG difference. the Godlyke PA9 was much quieter and also a bit more expenpive... so i guess you get what you pay for.

Hard to say... never gig without a back up (in this case batteries), but it seems pretty solid.

never talked to em

Pretty decent for the cost, it'll get the job done. Basically I'm using this during practice to cut down on my battery spending. It does add a a good deal of noise to my setup, more than what is acceptable imho.

Signal Chain:

Gibson LP>budda wah>digitech whammy wh1>dod malmsteen od>boss ns2>line6 delay dl4>marshall 1987x

all instrument/speaker cables are planet waves, patch cables are george ls

Very simple and straighforward to use. Just plug it in, hook up daisychain and plug in your pedals. Don't know how much more there is to say.

I am definitely a gear junky. I have been using the 1 Spot to power an MXR DynaComp, Boss Blues Driver, EHX Big Muff (using the 9 volt batt. adapter plug), Danelctro EQ, Boss DD-6, and BBE Sonic Stomp. I have been very satisfied with the sound I get and am impressed with the amount of juice this thing puts out (1700 mA!). I haven't noticed any noise since using it; much quieter (and more manageable) than a bunch of wall warts.

I can definitely depend on this one. I have had it for a few months now and have gigged numerous times with it. It always performs great. I was a little worried about it when I first got it because its so small, but it's well made and size is its advantage (i.e. less chance for it to get stepped on, etc.)

Never dealt with them, so I won't comment.

The 1 Spot is great. It gives me the ability to power all my stomp boxes (with 1 exception) with a single plug. The exception is my EHX Deluxe Memory Man, which is 24V DC rather than 9. If it were stolen, I don't know if I'd buy another; I'd probably shop around a bit more than I did when I got this, but it came free with my pedalboard, and I'd never turn down free gear. I don't mean to sound dissatisfied with it, cause I'm not (I even bought another 5 plug extension for it). Overall I'd say its a good value, even at the list price of $35, since there's nothing else really comparable in the same price range.

Completely simple. Plugged it up, connected the daisy chain, put on the appropriate adapters (1/8" plug), hooked it into the pedals I had handy (ProCo RAT, Dano mini Chorus and mini Flanger, Arion stage tuner, and a DOD Digital Delay) and it worked wonderfully.

See above for pedals. I'm currently using a 72 Telecaster Thinline reissue thru a vintage Sunn 2x12 tube combo amp. There's a very, very slight buzz, but it's nothing more than when I plug straight into the amp.

Seems pretty reliable. Apparently the older model wasn't built very well, but I have the newer version, and it seems pretty sturdy. I haven't played any shows with it yet, but I'd feel confident using it. I'd definitely carry along some spare 9v batteries just in case. Better safe than sorry.

Never dealt with them.

I've been playing on and off for almost 10 years now. I strum around on everything from drone/sludge metal stuff, to Orchid and Pg.99 type punk rock, to Bauhaus and Jesus and Mary Chain-esque noise stuff. I'd definitely pick up another one of these if this one was ever lost (esp. since a local guitar shop matches Musicians Friend prices). Someone recommended the Godlyke power supply, but it was a bit on the expensive side, so I opted for the 1 Spot and am very happy with it.
