As we noted the last time you asked the same question, swap it out.
The current load of your pedals is a FRACTION of the thing's power.
I'm curious though if one of the pedals or the cabling is amplifying things, or if it does it if you bring the thing to a music store and test it witha few of their pedals and power.

That'll eliminate the things that aren't the fault of the power supply. |

I do not know what this is all about but about 4 years ago I bought a TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb 2. Worked fine on battery so I connected the One Spot to it after insuring the negative was in the center and positive on outside. Instantly nothing and never worked again. I called them and they sent another…SAME thing happened. They wanted to send another and I told them “no I am afraid to try it again”. Ok fast forward to a couple weeks ago, ordered one this time off Amazon. Battery worked fine, plugged into a new One Spot I picked up from Guitar Center few days before SAME thing happened. I just returned the pedal. I do not know why all my other pedals some new some old work just fine but not the Hall of Fame reverb. It is a shame because I really liked them.

LTB, did the One Spot fry the pedal? I am assuming it did since two quit working upon plugging in the one spot 4 years ago and then recently happened to another with a brand new One Spot. At the time I wondered if the first two units were miss-marked or wired wrong but here 4 years later and a new Once spot the same thing happened again (good on battery but dead after connecting to one spot and still dead after trying the battery again, so Yes. I literally have no clue why it kills only the TC Electronic Hall of Fame reverb but not numerous Boss, Dan Electro, and Carbon Copy Delay pedals. |

Ah ok, yeah I had someone buy a Mesa Flux Drive from me a while back and said it wasn't working and that he used a One Spot. I shouldn't have accepted the return, but the buyer insisted, so I did. Mesa did say it was fried by an incorrect power supply. I did give the transaction a low rating and then Reverb contacted me to change my mind lol. I guess that seller/buyer was more important to them, so I told them no and cancel my account if they had issues with my rating.

Question:
Are you using a fuzz pedal that uses opposite to normal polarity?

Would a noise gate pedal eliminate the noise? I'm asking because I have the same issue, but varies depending on where I am gigging.

Try with a return policy. I'd also consider one of the rechargeable packs for the issue you're describing (where you're gigging having varying power). You might also benefit from isolated power supply stuff (not a One Spot) - make sure it's actually an isolated supply though. There have been many that advertise as such but aren't. Do your homework! |

the polarity on the tip is correct for pedals. Interesting though is the one spot does not have a larger pin on one side so you can plug it into the AC either way and it measures polarity correctly no matter which way its pluged in. i woonder how this is

The polarity of the AC supply (ie which way around live and neutral are) has no affect on the polarity on its DC output. |

I’ve never had a noise problem with One Spots. I’ve heard that they will produce audible clicking noises with certain digital pedals. But I’ve never experienced that. I’m pretty sure One Spots are switched power supplies making them very efficient (and cheap) but prone to producing harmonics.

I've not had any trouble with my One Spot, What I have had trouble with is buying a pedal bundled with a power supply from Amazon and the power supply being the opposite polarity from what he pedal requires.

Yea, I have a bigger board than most can comprehend and the One-Spot does the job.
I only have one pedal that wants isolated power, and well, I just give it its own adapter. Boom.
Then there's a few 18v and a few other oddballs (the Eventide H9 wants 12v, etc, so it took gets its own adapter)>
