• 1 SPOT PRO: The Original Studio-Grade Power For Your Pedals

XP8-PS
The 1 Spot Pro XP8-PS is just like the XP5-PS, except it has 8 outputs instead of 5.  Each output provides 9Vdc of studio-clean power and can handle at least 500mA of current draw per output.  Measuring 133x88x30mm (5.24x3.46x1.18”) and weighing only 459 grams (16.19oz or about 1lb), it can be easily attached to a pedalboard using only Vel-Cro.  Because of its low profile, the XP8 can be mounted under most pedalboards, or be used as a pedal riser on top of a board.  With 2 linked input jacks, you can power a second XP8 or XP5 by simply connecting a DC cable..

The 1 SPOT Pro Story
“A lot of people over the years had told us that we should make a power brick. Even some of my own staff urged me to do it, but I didn’t want to for two reasons. First, I knew the 1 SPOT could power just about every pedal out there, so I didn’t see the need. Second, I didn’t want to make just another knock-off of someone else’s power brick. If we were going to make one, we were going to do it our way and have features that nobody else could offer. As pedal designs changed and it became more common for digital pedals to require isolation and for others to need something other than 9Vdc, I finally saw a reason for us to design a power brick.”

“It took 3 years and lots of experimentation, but we were finally able to design a 1 SPOT Pro, using our own proprietary technology to give musicians all the features they need for today’s pedalboards. The original 1 SPOT still works great for most musicians, but for those who need more power and versatility, the 1 SPOT Pro fills the need perfectly.” - Bob Weil (Founder & President - Truetone)

1 SPOT Technology
Inside look at the 1 SPOT Pro CS111 SPOT Technology… what does that mean and why should I care? Technically, it’s switching power supply technology, which is very different than what anyone has ever put inside a power brick. Normally, you would find just a big transformer and a handful of small electronic components inside a power brick… old tech that hasn’t changed in decades and has a lot of limitations. We took the same triple filtered switching power supply technology found in our famous 1 SPOT and scaled it up to make the 1 SPOT Pro models. With much more space to work with, we were able to completely eliminate noise, provide total electrical isolation between outputs, create multiple voltages, and still give you the ability to use it anywhere in the world.

A major benefit of using a switching power supply is that it can handle far more current (power being pulled out of it) than any transformer-based power supply. Although we had to put power rating labels on each output to satisfy certification agencies (yes, we actually certified these, unlike many companies), the outputs can generally handle far more than the label shows. For example, you can connect a 300mA pedal to a 200mA output, without causing any problems. With a transformer-based power supply, you can’t get away with that. The important thing is to not exceed the total of all the labels. With a CS7 (for example), the output labels add up to 1900mA total. That means the total current draw of all your pedals should be less than 1900mA.
