Power Supplies vs 1Spots...am I a sucker?

Oh wow when they showed the HX my helix makes that noise if it’s near the computer or usb is plugged in. But helix uses an IEC cord and its own power supply so not sure what I can do about that.

I already mentioned why it gets recommended, it's cus people are stuck with assumptions that hasn't been true for a decade. Voodoo Labs should just stop making those units cus they sell better ones now, but I guess they still make enough money off of misconceptions.

Nope, sometimes digital pedals introduce noise in simple daisy chain powered signal chains, not just in multiple audio path cases.

Here’s a demonstration:

My only criticism about that video is, Jimmy Fallon is a dildo.

Yeah not sure why they still make them. Kinda weird. The PP3+ is an awesome PS. Never a single problem with it.

That's interesting. Weird how some pedals do it and others don't. I haven't used an 1-Spot in ages, certainly not with these digital pedals. Good to know. .

I played last night with one 1Spot on the Tonex One and the other powering the GLXD16+, the Mooer E7 and the TC Sentry. Worked very well, there still was a tiny wheeze with the sentry off, but nothing compared to running all the pedals on the 1Spot. The same wheeze I had with the Voodoo Labs PP2+. I have to test to see if that is on the tonex one when it is all by itself. Maybe the GLX16D+ needs to be on its own supply? I think I found the Helix FX loops slightly noisy enough to cause the whole thing on some tests before I had the Tonex and I think I read or watched some video showing the same issue. Whatever it is, this should work fine until my Cioks DC7 shows up

My Shure GLXD16+ says 9-12v 400mA. Is there any advantage to running at 12v or disadvantage to running at 9v?

TONEX PEDAL, NOT TONEX ONE
9-15V 400mA, NOT 9-12V
BASIC FAAAACTS

Sometimes higher voltages help with headroom but in this case it receives a wireless signal so it shouldn’t matter. Looking at the manual… it states max output 7.5Vp-p so 9V is fine, it’s just a matter of delivering ~3.6W and it has tolerance for up to 15V.
