Why wouldn't you just buy a powerstrip and plug each of your pedals into it? Or a Visual Sound one plug that connects all the chained effects?

This is very similar to just plugging all your pedals into a power strip. That assumes you have AC adapters for each pedal. Most pedals don't come with one and some are $20 or so. I actually have a bunch of AC adapters, but this is much more convenient. It's even nicer if you use one of these with a pedal board such as the Pedaltrain which has brackets to mount this power supply. As far as a daisy chain kind of thing like the Boss or Visual Sound that lets you connect multiple pedals, those are fine up to a point. I have the Boss daisy chain and I noticed that if I connect it to my wah wah pedal, I get a loud hum when I use the pedal. It just doesn't get enough power to the pedal. So I would use the daisy chain but then plug the wah wah pedal in using an AC adapter. The voodoo is just neater and more convenient. Each output is isolated so it's not just a daisy chain. Each pedal gets its own power individually. It can still be used with a daisy chain like the Visual Sound or Boss if you have more than 8 pedals. But again, if you have AC adapters for all your pedals and a power strip, that works too.

More even voltage and current flow then using adapter for pedal. Also all the pedals plug in to it so less power adapter cables running on the floor

The real answer to this question has to do with something called a ground loop effect. long story short a ground loop causes hum in almost all cases. Power supplies like this voodoo lab have completely isolated power slots that not only keep the power to your pedals a lot more consistent causing them to act better and last longer but it also will eliminate 60 cycle hum due to ground loops.I have two of these under my board because I run some high draw effects and I would never even consider using a power strip or one spot on my set up currently. But! All that said I have used a power strip and a one spot in the past with no problems. as my rig grew so did its needs for better power.

because your pedals would burn up if you tried to plug them directly to 110volts? guitar pedals work on voltages ranging from 9V to 18V. this power supply cleans up the power and provides a regulated voltage to your pedals. also keeps your pedal board neat by not having to resort to using single wall wart type of power supplies for each pedal. you could use the visual sound 1 spot but it only provides 1 x 9v output. if you have pedals with different voltage requirements it wont work.

You will need 2 chords to plug into guitar and the other into the amp and a power chord for the actual pedal

I Just got a morley Steve vai little alligator volumen pedal and 1spot power supply, both work very well together

No..you are only purchasing the pedal board( includes power supply and cables)Mark

It should go like this. Bass, digitech bass squeeze compresor, tech21 sansamp bass driver, mxr eq, amp. So when you use the mxr you can change all the sounds of all the pedals

Really, nothing. The point is that you no longer need effects pedals. The other plus is the Bluetooth function. It's a multi-tasker: an amp and an Bluetooth speaker. I usually jam along with songs from my iPhone. I have a couple of tones I downloaded that I use 99% of the time. (You can program your own if that's your thing but I'm not interested in fooling with that.) Great little practice amp.

Sean, mine didn't come with the adapter. I simply used an extra Boss type adapter that I had lying around and it works fine. It is an interesting and versatile little pedal at a great price, but it can get a bit noisy if you pile on the effects.

Just use it as a mono rig. Plug guitar into what effects you want and the JamMan the last in the chain.

This is an extremely popular pedal, so nothing unusual is required. You need a standard guitar cable (1/4" male mono plug on both ends) to go from your guitar to the input jack on the pedal. And you need another cable of the same type to run the signal from the pedal's output jack to the input jack of your amplifier. Good quality cables about 15 feet in length typically cost about $20 each. You shouldn't buy cheap cables, but I don't see any need for anything more expensive than between $20 and $40. If you're talking about an AC adapter so that you won't need batteries, I suggest the One-Spot. About $35 and works great. Hope that helps.

The answer is Yes, You can use the pedals...at least the pedals from Line 6 themselves, because the connection to the amplifier is vía a Cat 5e connection cable (Just like the ones used to connect computers an routers).For sure, the use of pedals defeat the use of the presets, given you should be able to obtain most sound effects through the presets.I can´t really tell you if pedals from other manufacturers will work fine, but the amp itself is Greeeeeeeat! with or without the pedals.

Should be able to pick up a power cord online somewhere. Vox should be able to answer that question about the specs of a power supply. I think it does not come with it, because most people use a power brick on a pedal board to hook up multiple pedals.

There are outs for midi, usb and a sustain pedal so you can hook it up with adapters, but it's not a straight through 1/4 cord to amp connection. Check out the slesis website for videos and details.

You can. I use a voodoo lab supply for all my pedals and it works just great

This is just a daisy chain. What goes in comes out. If source adapter is center -, then all output will also be center -. I also have the 1 Spot 9 volt, it is center -. I have 2 Boss pedals amongnst other brands on my board all center -. I started with this Visual Sound One Spot Combo PackIm not sure what power source you have but this is only an extention. Be careful of grabbing any power supply around the house. Many are unregulated, center +, or even AC.

Yep. I just plug my guitar into the top slot and then pass the other top-slot output to the amp. The only downside of this is that distortion from the amp is applied after the looping, which can cause some strange effects. On a clean-sound it works just fine, otherwise you'll want a distortion pedal before the loop-pedal.

You have to have a software program on your computer. If you have it then don't worry about buying a program. If you do need a software program then be sure it is compatible with the pedal.

Yes you can! I use 2 pedals, one with its own battery and the second one is connected with the power supply. Im sure you can do the same with multiple pedals.
