Mounting your 1 SPOT Pro under a Pedaltrain
®
pedalboard:
The 1 SPOT Pro comes with 2 metal brackets, 4 black machine screws and 4
silver thread-formin screws. The black machine screws are for attachin the
metal brackets to the sides of the 1 SPOT Pro, and the thread-formin screws
are for attachin the brackets to the Pedaltrain
®
, as shown below. There is no
need to pre-drill holes for the screws if you are usin a powered screwdriver.
Make sure the 1 SPOT Pro is
slanted durin mountin , so that
the IEC input socket is in between the
rails of the Pedaltrain. To help position it
correctly, you can put a 9V battery under the
1 SPOT Pro (center-back of the unit), which
will raise the back to the proper hei ht the
battery is only actin as a temporary spacer.
After the 4 thread-formin screws are installed, push the 9V battery out.

Con ratulations on your purchase of the 1 SPOT Pro CS12 Power Supply by
Truetone! The 1 SPOT Pro CS12 provides 12 outputs to power just about any
effect pedal. All 12 outputs are completely isolated, re ulated, and filtered to
provide quiet and safe operation for your valuable effects pedals.
The 1 SPOT Pro CS12 contains the following:

The proper powerin of effects pedals is much misunderstood, but necessary
knowled e that every effect user must have. It is the difference between proper
functionality of your pedal, or potentially dama e to it. To properly use the 1
SPOT Pro CS12 alon with your effects devices, you must know both the power
requirements of your pedals, and the capabilities of the 1 SPOT Pro CS12
power supply. We will concentrate on the latter first.
Specifications of the 1 SPOT Pro CS12:
Input: 100-127V~/0.7A, 50/60Hz US; 200-240V~/0.35A, 50/60Hz Europe/UK
Outputs: 12 Outputs are as shown below: (Outputs 3-7 are switchable)
Note: These numbers do not appear on the actual unit.
The bottom panel of the 1 SPOT Pro CS12 contains 5-mini switches that chan e
the volta e output of outputs 3-7.
Switch 1 corresponds to Output-3 and allows it to be switched between
either 9Vdc (OFF) or 12Vdc (ON) at 100mA
Switch 2 corresponds to Output-4 and allows it to be switched between
either 9Vdc (OFF) or 12Vdc (ON) at 100mA
Switch 3 corresponds to Output-5 and allows it to be switched between
either 9Vdc (OFF) or 12Vdc (ON) at 100mA
Switch corresponds to Output-6 and allows it to be switched between
either 9Vdc (OFF) or 12Vdc (ON) at 100mA
Switch 5 corresponds to Output-7 and allows it to be switched between
either 9Vdc at 100mA (OFF) or 4-9Vdc (ON) via volta e mini knob
at 100mA
Input Voltage Selector Switch:
The back panel of the 1 SPOT Pro CS12 has a 2-position 115/230V~ switch that
allows the 1 SPOT Pro CS12 to be used in most countries. Warning: Usin the
unit at the wron settin will cause dama e to both the 1 SPOT Pro CS12, and
any effect plu ed into output 12. Make sure the switch settin matches the
volta e comin out of the wall outlet (+/- 10V~ is OK).
Which output and settings do I use for my pedals?
It is important for you to know the power requirements for your pedal. For every
pedal that you are oin to power via the 1 SPOT Pro CS12, you need to know
the followin :
1. What is the volta e required by the pedal?
2. Does the pedal require AC or DC volta e?
3. What is the polarity of the pedal? (Center pin positive or ne ative.)
Note: This symbol
indicates DC volta e.
These questions can usually be answered by:
1. Inspectin the pedal itself near the power jack.
2. Referrin to the owner’s manual.
3. Checkin online, or contactin the manufacturer.
4. If your pedal can be powered by a 9Vdc battery, it can
be powered by one of the 9Vdc outputs (exception bein
the Boss ACA pedals, see below).
WARNING
: Do not use this output except with pedals
that are specifically mentioned in this manual.
Truetone is not liable for misuse of this 9Vac output.
Note: The first 11 outputs feature jacks with a standard 5.5x2.1mm barrel connector,
while the 9Vac equipped output 12 has a 5.5x2.5mm barrel to help prevent plu in this
output into a normal 9Vdc pedal and potentially causin dama e.

Notes on certain pedals:
• Some older Boss pedals require 12Vdc, yet can be powered by a 9Vdc battery.
They will indicate “Use ACA adaptor” near the power jack. To power an ACA pedal
please use outputs 3-6, and set to 12Vdc on the dip switch for the correspondin
output. Modern Boss pedals will indicate “PSA,” and can be powered by any of the 1
SPOT Pro CS12’s 9Vdc outputs.
• Many ermanium based fuzzes and Octavia-style pedals will require the use of the
CYR adaptor to reverse the polarity to center pin positive.
• For pedals with hi h milliamp draws such as Strymon please utilize outputs 8-11.
• Eventide pedals such as the Time Factor and H9 may be powered by outputs 10-11
with the addition of the CL6 converter for proper dc jack tip size and polarity.
• Line 6 M9 may be powered by outputs 10-11, but will also require the CL6
converter. The M9 can also be powered directly by the 9Vac of output 12.
• Line 6 M5 may be powered by outputs 10-11, NOT output 12.
• Line 6 modelin pedals (DL-4/MM-4) may be powered by outputs 8-11, but will also
require the CL6 converter. You may optionally use output 12, as the power input of
these pedals can use 9Vac or 9Vdc.
• Line 6 Tone Core pedals may be powered by any 9Vdc output.
• Line 6 POD or M13 cannot be powered by the 1 SPOT Pro CS12, even on the 9Vac
output. The milliamp draw is too lar e for those units.
• If more 9Vdc pedals need to be powered, a MC5 daisy chain (sold separately) may
be plu ed into any of the 9Vdc outputs dependin on mA draw.
• Pedals that do not utilize a power jack, yet are powered normally by a 9Vdc battery,
may utilize any 9Vdc output, alon with the CBAT converter.
• TC Electronic Nova pedals may be powered by outputs 3-6 in the 12Vdc position.
• TC Electronic Classic and Tone Print series may be powered by any 9Vdc output.
• Di itech Whammy: Versions 1-4 may be powered by output 12 (9Vac) Version 5 or
Whammy DT may be powered by outputs 10 or 11.
• Overdrives or fuzzes that sound/feel better at lower volta e should utilize output 7.
Set the dip switch to the “on” position, and adjust the mini-pot on the face of the unit
to the desired volta e, anywhere from 4-9Vdc.
• Note: Outputs 1-11 can each handle more than the stated mA number. However, it
is important to never exceed the max. current ratin of all outputs simultaneously.
