1. Can power a lot more pedals at roughly the same price
2. Has more voltage options
3. Includes PedalTrain mounting brackets
4. Includes the ability to change the input voltage so it will work in the US and Europe out of the box
The unit does what it's supposed to (powers pedals with no additional noise) and it's built like a tank. It's actually a little bigger and heavier than I expected, which is good or bad depending on your needs. I know some folks run two of the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2's, but the additional power slots here may be able to save you from doing so if you're running in the neighborhood of 9-12 pedals. I'm powering 8 pedals with plenty of room to expand in the future which is nice.
The 1 Spot Pro CS12 was fairly new when I bought it, with only one other Amazon review, and not much else on the web, so I took a gamble and it paid off. There's way cheaper Chinese pedal powersupplies available on Amazon, but 1) they don't offer truly isolated outs, 2) they use a flimsy AC cord, and 3) they're all essentially the same device/design being sold under different brands. If you don't care about noise and are looking to spend less money, you can definitely pick one of those up for $40, but you may find yourself looking to upgrade later.
I'd rate this at 4.5 stars if I could, so I'll round up. Why would I have knocked off half a star? I would have liked to have seen an on/off switch, which would have been more practical than plugging it in and unplugging it before and after playing each time. It would also have been nice to included a more universal mounting bracket similar to the T-Rex Tonetrunk Mount, for use with other pedalboards besides the Pedaltrain. Other than that, I'm happy with my purchase.
This is also a very quiet supply, truly isolated and very reliable. I'm very glad I went with the CS12. I actually have a lot of pedals on my board at the moment, so I have daisy-chained a few of my low-current analog distortion pedals off of one output. Since those pedals usually need less than 20mA, you can run a few of them off one of the 100mA outputs if you get a daisy-chain power cable. Then I have each of my high-power digital pedals on their own output, because those are the ones that make the most noise so you want them to be isolated.
Overall I'm very happy with the CS12, and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to power more than a few pedals. If you don't need so much power, the smaller CS7 is also a great option.
It feels sturdy as a tank, plenty of cables to connect all that I need.
First off, I came from using their OneSpot daisy chain (still perfectly working since 2004), which actually wasn't that noisy. Why the upgrade then? Because we simply shouldn't underestimate the impact of clean power distribution. I know we've all heard this millions of times, but I guess one fully realizes this once the swap is made. Oh, and I also wanted to get rid of all pesky power cables and wallwarts.
I'm not powering any current-thirsty effects, or higher voltage pedals....but as soon as I fired up the CS12, I noticed a change in the consistency and robustness in sound. It seems now like every pedal is happy, drawing what it needs without sharing or splitting. I press on pedals now and there are no hiccups, just solid, continuous sound. I am so happy now with my revamped board...instead of tracing noise, wasting time troubleshooting, running cables, carrying 3 wall warts all around....I can just plug in and concentrate on playing.
This brick comes with everything: owner's manual, several cables of different lengths, a variety of adapters (including 1/8" converters for your RAT or Muff, and battery connector), IEC power cable, and mounting brackets. It does not include instrument interconnects, but at this price you simply can't beat the quality of what you get.
GHOSTFIRE USERS: I started looking for isolated power distribution options, keeping in mind that I wanted to install whatever brick I ended up with under my 19.8" long Ghostfire aluminum pedalboard. I did my research, compared with how the CS12 seamlessly fits the Pedaltrains out there, and started to conceive how I could possibly fit the native mounting brackets with the Ghostfire. I thought I had to make the trip to the hardware store and try to get some brackets for adapting. But alas, thanks to another Amazon reviewer who mentioned one could flip the native brackets and mount flush, I started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I ended up with two tabs lining up with the GF board, and the remaining two seemed useless now. But after some thought I force-bent the two remaining tabs 180 degrees with some pliers, and managed to make them face upwards, lining up with the front of the GF aluminum rail. Everything perfect, now the CS12 (a hefty load) is firmly mounted with its own brackets, and it's not going anywhere. Forget about velcro-taping this brick, or using zip ties....the native brackets are the way to go. The paint will peel of the bracket's tabs due to the bending of the metal but hey, I much way prefer to have my CS12 solidly anchored to my board than keeping the looks spick-and-span. See the pics and judge for yourself. Also, the CS12's top panel (where the brand name reads) towards you, and the dip switches facing the floor. With this new orientation this is inverted: dip switches will face you, and brand's name will face the floor. No biggie, I actually put some low-adhesion tape over the dip switches just to cover them from collecting dust.
Bottom-line: GF users, YES! It CAN be done! Even smoother if you drill small pilot holes before fully screwing the included self-tapping screws. There is enough clearance from the floor if you extend the GF feet. It also fits the supplied GF bag, only drawback is that it will be bulky since the CS12 pops out once the pedalboard's feet are retracted.
Thanks for reading. I apologize for the lengthy review, I just feel I can help all of the potential CS12 (and Ghostfire) buyers. Pull the trigger on this power supply....you won't regret it.
