Hey guys, i read one of the threads regarding daisy chains and realized that one spot has them too, going at around 20+ (correct me if i'm wrong)

I bought a daisy chain before from Guitar Connection and it costs like half the price.

What's the diff?
 
Reliability? Is the one you bought right angled?
And if i'm not wrong, VS donates part of their sales for AIDS research? Either that or some other charitable organisation. So it's for a good cause at the same time!:D
 
If by normal you mean by Boss or Digitech or Zoom, 1Spot has higher current capacities, so you can run more pedals.

If by normal you mean those you can buy at hardware shops or pasar malams, 1Spot as well as the previously mentioned adapters are regulated, they provide a steady 9V regardless of the circuit connected. Unregulated adapters provide you with "around" 9V, depending on what it's plugged into.
 
The 1spot has higher current capacities cos it uses digital switching to get the 9V from the mains, compared to the lower capacities like BOSS which used a transformer. Pros are that it's lighter, and has higher current. Cons are that it can be noisy and if something goes wrong, can fry your effects due to the high current.

Nevermind, all this is still useful info for softies.
What's the difference then between 1-spot, Boss-type adapters and the DC Brick, PedalPad (not PedalPower because there the difference is clear - isolated circuits)? Is the difference worth the extra costs?
