Hi all! I just bought a Visual Sound 1Spot + daisy chain to power my new small pedalboard. I'm bummed, since the 1Spot seems to be very very noisy, at least in the space I tried it (at home). I gives hum and buzz and accentuates any noise coming from the guitar. Irritating! The same happens when I try it with many pedals or just one pedal between my guitar and amp. And it does it with all the pedals (two Guyatone micros, Catalinbread Hyper Pak, EH Nano Small Stone).
Actually, I have two 1Spots, and both of them do the same.
Now, I tried running the same pedals with a home-made power supply that my friend made - NO NOISE! And this power supply is just a one-out supply that I quess basically works the same way as 1Spot (only one power out for all the pedals). I tried my Pedal Power II, too, and of course there was no problem with noise.
Anybody else have similar problems with 1Spot? Could I do something to prevent the noise issue (I'd still like to use the 1Spot because it's small and lightweight).
Cheers,
MIKE
