Truetone 1 Spot Pro CS12 Power Supply [Product Overview]

[@ThatRandomTongan]

Thank you!!!!!

[@BabylonMister]

I don't want to mess up my new Truetone CS12. Where would I plug my Pigtronix Philosopher Bass Compressor into the CS12 and which cord would I use? The Pigtronix says: "Use with 9-18 VDC Neg tip Power supply." Input: 100 - 240 V; 50-60 Hz / 250mA; Output: 18V _ _ _ 300mA. Thank you for your help!!!

[@GlennJimenez]

Oh my god! It’s Zac!

[@turbo_wrath]

Can u use daisy chain on each dc output?

[@longandmcquade]

Yes, just make sure all pedals in the chain take the same voltage (9v for example) and don't exceed the total mA draw.

[@nickohball]

Does it matter which way the regular DC cables are plugged in? That is, does the colourful side go into the brick and the black right-angle into the pedal, or is it vice-versa... or does it not matter? Thanks!

[@longandmcquade]

Put the black side into the brick and the coloured side into the pedal.

[@erickt1974]

Do those cables come with the power supply?

[@longandmcquade]

Yes!

[@adrianpalacios4059]

What about cable to plug into 18 volt output bring it down to 9v

[@longandmcquade]

You'd need the V189 cable: www.long-mcquade.com/70974

[@davidweisson3461]

Can I use all the outputs excepting 18v ones, to connect 9v pedals?

[@longandmcquade]

Yes

[@XxStonedImmaculatexX]

Uh yea, most power supplies have more 9V 100ma plug than any other voltage type.

[@AnupShrestha-u1s]

I purchased CS12 last week. I have been trying to power hx stomp with my few other pedals. After an hour CS12 gets quite hot. Is that normal?

[@philelrod603]

Just to make sure...I have Wampler and Keeley pedals, a boss loop station and a vocal processor pedal...I also have a loop switcher...They all require 9v DC, center pin negative power supply specs. How many actual outputs does the cs12 have that meet this requirement? Thank you...OR would I be better off using the Truetone 1Spot Daisy Chain?

[@longandmcquade]

11 out of the 12 outputs on the CS12 would meet your requirements. 9v DC negative center pin is the most common and standard among guitar effects pedals. Unless you have 11 pedals, you might not need something as large as the CS12. All 7 outputs on the CS7 would also fit your needs. www.long-mcquade.com/61872

[@michaelgranka7904]

Help please. I read alot of conflicting things about powering the line 6 m9. I trust Zac Childs that the cs 12 will work. The question is will Long and McQuade honour the warranty of the m9 if I use the cs 12 ?????

[@longandmcquade]

Yes, if your M9 was in working condition and still under warranty, but was damaged due to the advice of given by or supported by Long & McQuade, we would repair or replace it.

[@AvianSavara]

Bought a CS12 recently. Upon reading the manual I discovered output 12 was AC only. That's really bad news because now, unless I can find an 9v AC to 9v DC converter, then I can't power all the pedal on my board, which defeats the purpose. Anyone know what I should do?

[@longandmcquade]

The 12th output being AC only is denoted on the unit itself with a 9v~AC 800mA label and a red box framing the output. This AC output should be reserved for pedals requiring AC power, like some DigiTech or Line 6 pedals. The CS-12 does have 11 other DC outputs, with more than 2000mA available to power any other DC pedals on your board. That's a lot of power on tap. You do not need to have 1 output per pedal, you can still split or daisy chain some pedals out of one output.

[@AvianSavara]

@@longandmcquade Thanks, I've opted to use the MC2 adapter to link my loop-switcher and tuner together.

[@DrBadLlama]

so following this logic, could you use the 800ma output to power an hx stomp using the cable hack you showed us in the video? @@longandmcquade

[@longandmcquade]

Yes, the 800ma AC out can power your HX Stomp using the cable Zac shows in the video @@DrBadLlama

[@taco6658]

Will the 9V AC power a Line 6 DL4 mk2 or is that only for the original DL4?

[@longandmcquade]

The new DL4 mk2 is 9V DC 500mA.

[@taco6658]

@@longandmcquade Thank you

[@jhonpasquez6145]

I have a question, I recently purchased the smaller version of this box. 1- why my chromatic tuner tu3 needed to be switched off in order to power it in relation to my other pedals. 2- I plugged in my mxr carbon delay pedal in the 500 mA input and it seemed it was sucking my guitar tone. Should I need to plug it into the 9v instead and why? Thanks to whoever wants to help me .🤟

[@Paulmccarthy6801]

I have a sabbadius 68 tiny vibe that needs 18 volts 200 ma to power it can I use 1 of the 18 volt 100 ma outlets or 2 -9 volt outlets to make the power I need.

[@falvai]

Fancy seeing you here Zac

[@greigclement9081]

I have a looper and drum pedal that draw 360ma and 300ma respectively . Is it more practical to use the two 500ma outputs even though the two 250ma outputs may produce "more" than the stated output ?

[@longandmcquade]

Even though the 250ma outputs "may produce more" than the stated output, it's risky to underpower digital pedals. Play it safe and use the 500ma outputs. By "risky", we don't mean causing damage to the pedal. Using the wrong voltage is much more of a concern than the wrong amperage. If the pedal draws 300 - 360ma and you're only supplying 250ma, it might not power on or it might behave erratically. But limited risk of melting it or setting it on fire or something like that.

[@carlos_martinezzz]

How can I power a Moogerfooger with this?

[@longandmcquade]

Make sure it's TIP POSITIVE (not the more common center positive), 9V and at supplies 300mA. You might be able to get away with the 9V 250mA output because as Zac mentions the printed ratings are lower than what they actually put out. All you would need is the CYR reverse polarity adapter.

[@carlos_martinezzz]

@@longandmcquade thanks so much for the reply!!

[@longandmcquade]

@@carlos_martinezzz That's what we're here for!

[@MykEviiL]

What about the Hum Extractor + Decimator G. The unit itself draws 800mA AC power. That one spot has CS-12 has ONE single 800mA AC power!!! Hmm...?

[@SeanOnTheGulf]

Excellent Video! I don't have a very elaborate range of pedals...BUT I do want to power a Mooer GE200 which requires 9v DC 600mA and a Digitech Trio + which requires 9V DC 800 mA. Would the CS12 work for me...and if so, how would I power these units? Thank you!

[@longandmcquade]

Glad you liked the video, but with your two pedals drawing so much power, the CS12 won't do you much good. You MIGHT be able to power the Mooer GE200 with a 500ma output, but if the pedal requires 600ma, it might not power on or work as expected. Usually the kinds of units you have require their own power supply because they draw so much.

[@SeanOnTheGulf]

@@longandmcquade actually took a chance and the 1Spot is working fine!

[@longandmcquade]

@@SeanOnTheGulf Wow, that's surprising. Even the 800mA Trio+ works with one of the 500mA outputs of the CS12?

[@SeanOnTheGulf]

@@longandmcquade yes...

[@longandmcquade]

@@SeanOnTheGulf Fantastic! We're happy to hear everything is working out for you. We know that Zac said in the video that the CS12 puts out more than the stated output, so there's proof that this thing packs a punch!

[@vibes..585]

Hi, can i power an a 4 ch mixer an i pad a drum pad & a sampler to run backing tracks with this ? I want to isolate my set up from potential power glitchs in live venues.. Is this what i need ? Do i charge up before every use ? What would i need to do ? Thank you

[@longandmcquade]

It really depends on what kind of power requirements your mixer, drum pad and sampler have. We'd highly recommend you read the manuals for the equipment you're trying to power up to figure out if a unit like this would provide enough power and be safe to use with your gear. As for "charging up", no, this is not a battery bank. This has an IEC cable that's plugged into the wall for power.

[@pabloa6855]

Can this work with memory boy by electro harmonix?

[@longandmcquade]

Yes

[@MinorInfluence92]

Can I use my whammy with this? I also have some problems using my freeze pedal, I get noise and humming?

[@longandmcquade]

Depends on the generation of your whammy pedal. But chances are, any version you have could be supported when paired with the correct plug adapter.

[@MinorInfluence92]

@@longandmcquade I have the gen IV whammy

[@parker_dubray]

I have a question, if i use a standard 9volt pedal with the 18v outputs will it damage my pedal? what’s the easiest way to find out the power needs for my pedals

[@longandmcquade]

To use the 18v outputs with a 9v pedal, we'd recommend using the Truetone 18v to 9v converter: www.long-mcquade.com/70974

Can I connect Truetone 1 Spot Pro CS7 to a Quad Cortex as is done on the Cioks DC7?

[@longandmcquade]

No. The four 12v outputs on the CS7 combined will only supply 800mA, and the Quad Cortex requires 2000mA minimum.
