What do you mean by a ".1 ceramic bypass?"

One of those tiny little blue things that are all over old computer boards. 0.1uF bypass caps.
And you are right, I guess size is a problem. Most of my builds have so much stuff in there, one more 1,000uF cap isn't going to be noticed  :icon_wink:

QuoteYup, been there, with a couple of Line 6 pedals, and Echo Park and a chorus--bad news on the noise, even when bypassed. However, part of the problem was apparently in the interaction between the two digital pedals themselves, as when I tried to power them from separate wallwarts instead of the 1-Spot, the noise improved but was still a problem. Eventually I decided that until I go stereo, I prefer the sound of my CE-2 to the Line6 anyway. Voila--problem solved. The Echo Park gets on fine with sharing the 1-Spot daisy chain.

I've had problems with noise with the Liqui-flange, and that's an interaction with my old boss tuner. If I remove either one from the chain, the problem goes away. I haven't had noise problems with the Roto-Machine or Echo-Park on the OneSpot.

One spot is great. It does not give you a perfect 9V, but rather something a little higher (at least for me).

It's positive on the barrel (along with everything else except my DIY pedals). I never know what to do with the extra barrels that are unused since they can short on another pedal. hmmmm

I have this same problem. I usually just add more pedals.   :P

that's interesting, a couple of people have mentioned no problems with the echopark.  I had a horrendous noise issue with that and the one spot.  I took it out of the daisy chain and plugged it in at home with a battery and the noise went away.  Maybe i just have a bad unit or something.  Other than that, the one spot has been great.
