The 1 SPOT Pro CS6 comes with three screws inserted into mounting screw holes on the top of the unit (spare screws are also included). These are for mounting your CS6 under pedalboards like those from Pedaltrain®. Just use the drill template included with your new CS6, to drill mounting holes under your pedalboard.
You can also mount your CS6 on top of any pedalboard, using Velcro®. The low-profile design of the CS6 makes it an excellent pedal riser, enabling you to put pedals on top of it.
Please see the 1 SPOT Pro CS6 Mounting Guide video on Truetone.com, for complete instructions and ideas on how to mount your CS6.
Congratulations on your purchase of the 1 SPOT Pro CS6 Power Supply by Truetone! The 1 SPOT Pro CS6 provides 6 outputs to power just about any effect pedal. All 6 outputs are completely isolated, regulated, and filtered to provide quiet and safe operation for your valuable effects pedals.
The 1 SPOT Pro CS6 contains the following in the package:
1 SPOT Pro CS6 Power Supply
IEC input power cable
(3) mounting screws, (3) spare mounting screws and (1) drill template
Output power cables (all are center pin negative polarity):
(1) DC26 (5.5x2.1mm barrel plugs; 26” (660mm) – Purple (1) DC22 (5.5x2.1mm barrel plugs; 22” (559mm) – Blue (1) DC18 (5.5x2.1mm barrel plugs; 18” (457mm) – White (3) DC12 (5.5x2.1mm barrel plugs; 12” (305mm) – Yellow (1) MC2: Two 5.5x2.1mm barrel plugs with 5.5x2.1mm input socket
Converter Plugs:
(1) CL6 – Green – for Line 6 DL4/M9/etc. and some Eventide pedals. (1) CYR – Red – reverse polarity converter (1) C35 – Black – 3.5mm (1/8”) plug converter (1) CBAT – Black battery clip
Specifications of the 1 SPOT Pro CS6:
Input: 100-240V~, 50/60Hz, 0.55A (Worldwide input voltage)
Outputs: 6 Outputs are marked on the bottom of the CS6:

The bottom panel of the 1 SPOT Pro CS6 contains 4 mini-switches that change the voltage of outputs 3-6. The switches are in the same order as the outputs.
Switch 1: Output 3 – Off=9Vdc; On=18Vdc Switch 2: Output 4 – Off=9Vdc; On=18Vdc Switch 3: Output 5 – Off=9Vdc; On=12Vdc Switch 4: Output 6 – Off=9Vdc; On=12Vdc
Note: Output numbers are not marked on actual unit.
Voltage Input:
The 1 SPOT Pro CS6 can be used anywhere in the world without the use of a step-up or step-down transformer. It transforms wall voltage from 100-240Vac, and converts it into the stated voltages on the bottom panel of the unit.
Which output and settings do I use for my pedals?
It is important for you to know the power requirements for your pedal. For every pedal that you are going to power via the 1 SPOT Pro CS6, you need to know the following:
1. What is the voltage required by the pedal?
2. Does the pedal require AC or DC voltage? (Hint: battery = DC)
3. What is the polarity of the pedal? (Center pin positive or negative.)
These questions can usually be answered by:
1. Inspecting the pedal itself near the power jack.
2. Referring to the owner’s manual.
3. Checking online, or contacting the manufacturer.
4. If your pedal can be powered by a 9Vdc battery, it can be powered by one of the 9Vdc outputs (exception being the Boss ACA pedals, see below).
Notes on certain pedals:
Some older Boss pedals require 12Vdc, yet can be powered by a 9Vdc
battery. They will indicate “Use ACA adaptor” near the power jack. To power an ACA pedal please use outputs 5-6, and set to 12Vdc on the DIP switch for the corresponding output. Modern Boss pedals will indicate “PSA,” and can be powered by any of the 1 SPOT Pro CS6’s 9Vdc outputs.
Many germanium based fuzzes and Octavia-style pedals will require the
use of the CYR adaptor to reverse the polarity to center pin positive.
For pedals with high milliamp draws such as Strymon, please utilize outputs
Environmental Protection
1 or 2 that can produce 500mA each.
Eventide pedals such as the Time Factor and H9 may be powered by
outputs 1 or 2 with the addition of the CL6 converter, for proper DC jack tip size and polarity.
Line 6 M5 may be powered by outputs 1 or 2.
Line 6 M9, and the modeling pedals (DL-4/MM-4), may be powered by
outputs 1 or 2, and will also require the CL6 converter.
Line 6 Tone Core pedals may be powered by any 9Vdc output.
Line 6 POD or M13 cannot be powered by the 1 SPOT Pro CS6.
If more 9Vdc pedals need to be powered, a MC5 daisy chain (sold
separately) may be plugged into any of the 9Vdc outputs depending on mA draw. For adding one more pedal, use the included MC2 cable.
Pedals that do not utilize a power jack, yet are powered normally by a 9V
battery, may utilize any 9Vdc output, along with the CBAT converter.
TC Electronic Nova pedals may be powered by outputs 5-6 in the 12Vdc
position.
TC Electronic Classic and Tone Print series may be powered by any 9Vdc
output.
Digitech Whammy: Versions 1-4 cannot be powered by the 1 SPOT Pro
CS6. Version 5 or Whammy DT may be powered by outputs 1 or 2.
Radial Tonebone 15Vdc pedals can be powered by an 18Vdc output, using
the Reverse Polarity Converter (CYR) included with the 1 SPOT Pro.
