Jesus would want you to pay list price.

I will do it. For the Lord.

My GAS for a new power supply has been satisfied...BY NOT BUYING ONE.

Probably nobody is gonna find this relevant but i'm just too satisfied not to write this.

Because i just couldn't accept the fact that i need a new power supply (or at least i thought so), i decided to make some calculations, deep dive in the internet looking for the true power draws of pedals, re-think the entire board-powering and.... I WON.

The Truetone CS12 never let me down during all this years, and i can confirm it's a winner.

First: i found out that the old POG requires only 220mA 18VDC (reversed polarity) instead of the 500mA indicated by EHX - i don't know why i never looked for this information before, considering that i've been using it for more that 10years - DUMB ME.

Second: i realized that, deep in my "i want a new PSU" hole, i was forgetting the big advantage of CS12: the entire power (3000mA) is divided through the outputs regardless how the outputs are marked. This means i can power digital pedals that draw more than 200mA from outputs marked as 100mA. And this works for the 18VDC outputs too.

Third: i used to daisy chain 3-4 pedals to power all the board with the 1SPOT 11 outputs, and this totally worked until i added a coule ofacquirements in the last months. Turns out i simply had to re-think what pedals to daisy-chain and what needed a dedicated output.

RESULT: i just wired the entire chain of 19 pedals on the new board (yep, it's huge) and everything works correctly without background noise issues, including the POG!
I think i fucked up at least three dedicated power supplies during the years just because i thought there was no other way to power that damn octaver.
Now i daisy chained 4 fuzz/dirt/boost pedals, 1chorus, 1 tremolo and 1 tuner, without hum issues.

End of the story, hope you enjoyed it, i'm just sooooooo happy.

Aslo i have to mention this couldn't have been doable on a Strymon Zuma - which costs a lot more $ - because of the power distribution thing.


I just have to wait for the new patch cables and i can wire everything properly - right now i'm in cable-mess nightmare.

We're gonna need pics

Bought the first pedal since August of 2018, which has got to be a record for me.

Went with this thing ...

Couldn't stand the small amps anymore so I got the biggest one I could afford https://www.instagram.com/p/B_mg7wdqKUc ... _copy_link

Might have been pricey, but think of all the companionship dividends that sweet kitty will yield.

If everything goes ok with me this month, my plan is to buy a Dusk from Ryan soon. I got a Random Phase Vibrato recently as well in one of Doug's "name your price" sales. I wonder if I'm like the only one who calculates things on those. LOL. I was like...hmmm...he's doing a sale, so I can get something off but I don't want to insult him because the pedals are killer. So I did the math on 20% off. Do you guys think that's a fair offer? Obviously he said yes, but I thought about it again and I'm like, did I really need like 20 bucks off? You know what I mean. I dunno. Anyway, I love, love the pedal and incorporated it into a song already. So, it's here to stay. I do wish I had a blend knob on there but the Klein Bottle will fix that.

That is such a rad design! I'm glad he sold out as quick as he did or I might have done the same thing.
