1 SPOT Technology…what does it mean and why should I care? Technically, this is switching power supply technology, which is very different from what anyone has ever put inside a PSU. Normally you would only find a large transformer and a handful of small electronic components inside a power supply...old technology that hasn't changed in decades and has a lot of limitations. We've taken the same triple-filtered switching power supply technology found in our popular 1 SPOT and scaled it up to create the 1 SPOT Pro models. With much more space to work with, we have been able to completely eliminate noise, provide total electrical isolation between outputs, create multiple voltages and give you the flexibility to use it anywhere in the world.
One of the main advantages of using a switching power supply is that it can handle much more current (power is drawn from it) than any transformer based power supply. Although we had to put wattage labels on each output to satisfy the certification agencies (yes, we actually certified them, unlike most companies), the outputs can usually handle much more than the label indicates . 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 it. The important thing is not to exceed the total of all labels. With a CS7, the output labels add up to 1900mA total. This means that the total current draw of all your pedals should be less than 1900 mA. This total current rating is roughly double the current load of the most common PSU, for much less money.
