You can't go wrong
I was coming from the classic 1spot single power unit. I had this device for years and years with a long daisy chain of 8/9 pedals, and never had a single problem. Now I was rethinking my pedal board, bought some new pedals, also digital, for a total of 10. So I thought it was about time to make things look a little more clean and professional and I got this CS6. The 1spot with all the pedal was starting to hissing a bit, when I plug the CS6 the thing was DEAD quiet!
The box is slim and quite light, you can have it under or over your board. I've got a palmer/harley-benton board and I had no problem fixing it under the board with just some velcro. There are various mA level outlets but actually, if you see truetone videos, all can feed whatever mA needs your pedal, just be shure to not overpower the total amount of mA available. You can also plug daisy chains if you have more than 7 pedals (I say 7 because there's already a Y cable provided). Other thing the manual doesn't say is that the power supply sports two blue led on the short sides, witch add a little coolness to your board! Nice touch. The price is also very competitive, no need to get fancier stuff. Completely satisfied!

Useful for most pedalboards
This unit powered my whole board, including 4 stompboxes and a Boss MS-3 and Digitech Whammy 5. I've never had any noise issues other than from my Strat pickups. I used the included template to screw the unit to my board, but Velcro / Dual-Lock should work just as well.
PROS
- 2x 500mAH (enough power ANY 9V DC pedal)
- 2x 18V - added headroom to my MXR Boost/Line Driver and BE-OD
- One IEC cable (kettle plug) to power everything.
- Clean, low noise sound
- Low profile
CONS
- Output placements might be inconvenient for certain pedalboards
- Dip switch placement might also be inconvenient for certain pedalboards
As far as handling, the 1 Spot Pro CS6 delivers clean and reliable power. Pedalboards are all different though, so make sure you have enough current draw for YOUR pedals and that the dimensions are correct and that you can easily access the outputs and dip switches.

The best CIOKS DC7 alternative on a budget
Although not as powerful as the DC7, this humble little power supply can fit under the tiniest pedaltrain boards and power a huge variety of pedals including DSP intense strymons and eventides, HX stomps as well as small analog boosts and overdrives without fault.
The fact that it includes all necessary adaptors and cables in the box was a truly great added bonus!
Best power supply for the money!

Truetone CS6 power supply
Use: to power a small pedal board, with no issues or noise, and it is working well!
Pros: works well, noticeably less background noise than my old unit
Cons: none really, assuming it has enough output for the pedals you need to use - if not, alternatives are available
Summary: I've only had it a couple of weeks at this point, but it is reassuring to have a quality PSU on my pedalboard, and time will tell, but all indications so far are that this is well made and tested, so I'm confident it should be reliable in the longer term.

Reliable and noise-free
Great power supply. Probably the cheapest noise-free option for a mid-sized board. I use it on a bass pedalboard with 7 pedals. Before I used to use Cioks Adam, and had quite some noise. After I replaced it with this Truetone, the noise went away (I would have also bought other Cioks products, but this one was just a bit cheaper, and enough for my needs). Easy to install.
Can't think of any cons. Recommended.

Does what it is needed and more!
excelent build quality slick and neat
fits onto the harley benton spaceship pedal boards, the 'pedal train' boards and most others like them..
mounting it onto the board was a breaze as you get a template for the three drill holes you need to make on the pedal board just simply remove the three screws that are already screwed into the power supply and then place the power supply onto where you put the template drill holes and screw back the three screws through the board and into the power supply video instructions on the truetone website show you in detail!

Great power supply for Metro boards
I was looking for a capable power supply that could fit under my Pedaltrain Metro 20 board and was capable of powering both my HX Stomp with MIDI switchers + bunch of digital and analog effects.
This power supply managed that with ease. The outputs are truly isolated so there were no problems with using HX Stomp with analog effects. (If you have tried it with a cheap non-isolated one or even battery powered one you know it introduces a lot of digital noise in the chain). Also the HX Stomp could be easily powered form just one 9v outlet which is a plus to me.
Overall I would recommend this power supply to anybody that needs compact, silent and capable power supply. The only issue with my unit was that of the included cables had a short, but that could be replaced easily.

Fantastic!
I wanted an isolated supply that I could mount under my Pedaltrain Nano+. The CS6 is perfect for this. It was easy to mount. Drilling the holes in the pedalboard and attaching the PSU took about 2 minutes. The PSU is robust, quiet and versatile. I'm extremely happy with it. The only problem is that the mounting screws supplied with it have rounded tops, making it difficult to place pedals directly on top unless you add another layer or two of velcro around them. It seems to be a widely reported issue online and it surprises me that it has never been resolved.

Excellent!
This power supply is one of the best! period! Other that the features already listed in the description, it does not introduce any noise in your signal. Plus the power that each output delivers gives you the posibility to plug more than one pedal per output (using a daisy chain cable). It is also very well built and it is solid as a rock! Another positive point, is its size: it is tall enough to easily hide it under any pedalboard without any issue!

Small, powerful and not ridiculously expensive!
I used to buy Voodoo Labs power supplies for years. I almost resented spending all that money on a heavy metal block that was hard to fit to my pedalboards. After using One Spots for a while I tried this isolated model and I'm very happy -so much so I will buy another. It does everything it should, has tonnes of power on tap, is totally silent and works all over the world. Of course, sometimes I wish it had more than just 6 power outputs, but even using a daisy chain off of one of the 500ma outs wouldn't be the end of the world. Highly recommended and at this price, there's nothing else that can touch it for now.
