Sorry, no help here. I’ve been using a One Spot for about 15 years with no problems at all. :-(

You're using very old pedals.
They may require isolated power or be finicky.
Your voltage may also have grounding/cleanliness issues that the particular adaptor makes worse.
I'm running more pedals than you can likely fathom putting together on a One Spot *and* a Boss ES-8 switcher on one, no issue.
It's not the adaptor, but sometimes in use, a particular pedal just doesn't like X, Y, or Z.

My One Spots are as quiet as anything I've ever used. Are you sure it's the One Spot? Have you recently added digital pedals you didn't have before?
If we power many of the modern digital pedals and analog pedals on the same daisy chain, noise from the digital processors can travel along the power line to other pedals. Switch on an overdrive or distortion pedal and the problem gets magnified. That's why power supplies with isolated outputs are now such a big deal. It's the only way to stop the digital processor noise affecting other pedals. You can still daisy chain your analog pedals of one output/daisy chain but every digital pedal should have its own supply or isolated output.

I only use a 1969 Vox V846 wha a 1981 TS9 tube screamer and a korg tunner. I pluged each in seperatly and they all do it. None do it with boss walwart or batteries only one spot. this is the one that is noisy and i have replaced it with same noise at a bunch of clubs. The boss will power all 3 but the signal is sucked down like a low battery situation www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/1Spot9v--truetone-1-spot-slim-9v-dc-adapter?main_web_category_rollup=3/956/961&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organicpla |

Well, dang, that sure sound like the One Spot. If I sold it to you that'd be proof enough for me to give you something else as a warranty replacement. There is nothing inherently wrong with One Spots. I've used them just about daily for almost 15 years with no issues. I only replaced one that died in all that time. It run should all of those pedals and more without any issue at all. Statistically it is possible you got two bad ones in a row. What ever it is it sure sucks!

I have run into that myself. Most are very quiet, and some are noisy right out of the box. Return it if it's new; it should be quiet.
