Help with onespot adapter

[EugeneSmasher]

Hi all,

I plugged my Line 6 Tonecore Uber Metal with my onespot adapter and daisy chain 5, and although it works there is very loud humming. Is it true that tonecores don't work with onespots very well, or is there something wrong with my onespot? The Uber metal never has problems when I use it with a separate TGM adapter, so it can't be the pedal thats faulty.

I've heard that digital pedals don't work with onespots, which is why I'm buying an Ibanez SM-7 analog pedal and another overdrive, also analog, and also Ibanez. Will the onespot be compatible with these?

Thanks in advance!

digital pedal has nothing to do with not able to work with one spot. It doesnt matter whether is it analog, digital or some space age circuit.

The most important thing to know, for powering pedal, is what does your pedal need. AC power or DC power. One spot supply 9vdc, 1700ma.

A lot of the common pedals in the market uses 9v DC and definitely draw less than 1700ma(usually from 30ma to couple hundred ma). You will have to check the spec of your pedal either from the manual or the info on its homepage

Tonecore pedals has its own adaptor(from line 6) and best to use those. Its been rather known round various effect forums that some people encountered noise issue when powering tonecore pedal using other adaptor other than its own. Some people encountered this, some dont. And if you do, try getting the line 6 adaptor

i have used one spot for pedals(boss, digitech, dod and many other brands) and also korg microsynth(keyboard), it works perfectly fine., doesnt matter analog or digital, as long as the pedal require dc power, current draw less than the 1700ma, one spot is fine.

Actually I just bought a Biyang multi-outlet adapter, together with a Beta Aivin HM-200 Heavy Metal pedal (this thing just slays!) so my problem's more or less fixed. But yeah I hear from others also that Tonecores are better isolated. Line 6 arh... Sheesh.

I only had that problem when I simultaneously used verbzilla and echopark with a few other peds.
