The 1 SPOT!
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 CS7 Power Supply by
Truetone! The 1 SPOT Pro CS7 provides 7 outputs to power just about any
effect pedal. All 7 outputs are completely isolated, re ulated, and filtered to
provide quiet and safe operation for your valuable effects pedals.
The 1 SPOT Pro CS7 contains the following:
1 SPOT Pro CS7 Power Supply
Power cables:
(4) DC18 (5.5x2.1mm barrel plu s; 18” (457mm) – White
(3) DC12 (5.5x2.1mm barrel plu s; 12” (305mm) – Yellow
Converter Plu s:
(1) CL6 – Green
(1) CYR – Red
(1) C35 – Black
(1) CBAT – Black battery clip
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 CS7 alon with your effects devices, you must know both the power
requirements of your pedals, and the capabilities of the 1 SPOT Pro CS7 power
supply. We will concentrate on the latter first.
Specifications of the 1 SPOT Pro CS7:
Input: 100-240V~, 50/60Hz, 0.55A (Worldwide input volta e)
Outputs: 7 Outputs are as shown below: (Outputs 2-5 are switchable)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Note: These numbers do not
appear on the actual unit.
Note: This symbol
indicates DC volta e.
The bottom panel of the 1 SPOT Pro CS7 contains 4-mini switches that chan e
the volta e output of outputs 2-5.
Switch 1 corresponds to Output-2 and allows it to be switched between
either 9Vdc (OFF) or 12Vdc (ON) at 200mA
Switch 2 corresponds to Output-3 and allows it to be switched between
either 9Vdc (OFF) or 12Vdc (ON) at 200mA
Switch corresponds to Output-4 and allows it to be switched between
either 9Vdc (OFF) or 12Vdc (ON) at 200mA
Switch 4 corresponds to Output-5 and allows it to be switched between
either 9Vdc (OFF) or 12Vdc (ON) at 200mA
Voltage Input:
The 1 SPOT Pro CS7 can be used anywhere in the world without the use of a
step-up or step-down transformer. Like our 1 SPOT, it transforms wall volta e from
100-240Vac, and converts it into the stated volta es on the front panel on the unit.
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 CS7, 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.)
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).
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 2-5, 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 CS7’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
6 or 7 that produce 500mA each.
• Eventide pedals such as the Time Factor and H9 may be powered by
outputs 6 or 7 with the addition of the CL6 converter, for proper dc jack tip
size and polarity.
• Line 6 M5 may be powered by outputs 6 or 7.
• Line 6 M9, and the modelin pedals (DL-4/MM-4), may be powered by
outputs 6 or 7, and will also require the CL6 converter.
• 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 CS7.
• 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 2-5 in the 12Vdc
position.
• TC Electronic Classic and Tone Print series may be powered by any 9Vdc
output.
• Di itech Whammy: Versions 1-4 cannot be powered by the 1 SPOT Pro
CS7. Version 5 or Whammy DT may be powered by ouputs 6 or 7.
