I have a One Spot and I've used it with a Boss DD-5 and a Digitech RV7 and no problems.
Some of the Ibanez units need a special power supply. I had an Ibanez delay, years ago, and it would hum on standard 9VDC power supplies. Use the Ibanez power supply and no hum. I don't remember exactly what the Ibanez required. |

It's probably not the one spot that's the problem. You may have a ground loop, or a pedal that works better with an isolated power supply.
I bet if you read the manuals for all the pedals you'll find the culprit

A guitar player I know had problems when he used the One Spot. Hum went away when he switched to a different power supply (DC Brick). I've also heard others say the same thing. I used a DC Brick for a while and it was pretty decent. But, I have switched to individual wal-warts for each effects pedal.

I have a one-spot and I put all sorts of stuff on there that works fine. But! I also ha d a Holy Grail and EHX specifies that you can't use any other power supply except the one it comes with (or one that matches exactly) It will not only cause hiss and noise, but the pedal may actually breakdown altogether. My first Holy Grail was all messed up because the clerk forgot to give me the one it came with and I used what I had. I returned it and he exchanged it and this time handed over the power supply it's supposed to use. worked like a charm. That's the big box version. I have not used the nano version. |

Mike,
Try setting it away from or a different angle from the amp. The Nashville is digital power and some things bleed in to it. Mine has trouble with some things if it is physically too close. 6o cycles can be a pain! |

| i just remembered there have been times on stage when i've gotten a good hum and i realized that on the floor the one spot chord was crossing either another power chord or a certain guitar chord that caused it. simply moving the offending chords away from each other allowed the hum to stop. |

Mike,
If the "One Spot" continues to give you problems, another similar device is a "Power All". I have one with a Y splitter for two pedals, and a five plug daisey chain for more pedals. Works good. Also, I just received a power adaptor from Neunaber Audio for my new Wet reverb, [I could have used the Power All], and it is the most compact adaptor I have ever seen. [$19.00] It will also power up to five pedals, but you have to get the "daisey chain" elsewhere. The folks that sell the Power All adaptor sell the daisey chains separate for $7.50. Hope this helps, George |

Your trouble with the One Spot producing hum reminded me of the same problem I had. A while back I bought a new Peterson Strobostomp 2 with a new One Spot at Guitar Center. I think I bought the One Spot because of the good reviews I saw here on the forum and out on the internet. At home I got the same bad hum you're talking about. I took it and the tuner back to GC and they plugged them both in together and there was NO HUM! Dumb-founded, I took the stuff home and plugged them in again, getting the same bad hum.
I then went to the Peterson web site and found this chart that lists several power supplies that are supposed to work with the tuner. Note that there are different "ma" values on the one's listed. I'm not an electronic technician, but my guess is maybe the different "ma" values CAN make a difference in eliminating hum.
Anyway, one of the listed power supplies--Boss PSA120--was one that I happened to have for another stomp pedal that I wasn't using. I plugged in the PSA120, and NO HUM!
Ibanez may have a similiar list of power supplies for you to try.

The "ma" (milliamps) does not make a difference as long as the device being attached to the power supply does not draw more "ma" than the power supply is rated for. You can use a power supply that the "ma" is higher than the device, but you can't use one that the "ma" draw of the device is more than what the power supply can provide.
Exactly what your specific problem is, could be a ground loop hum, a bad guitar cord, house AC power wiring problem, etc. Many potentials. Does it hum or not hum with a guitar connected. |

the amp hums some with just the steel straight to the amp cleaned the pots and jacks this really helped. just a small amount of hum now could be the single coil pup.

some devices like magnetic primary some don't mind the switching type .. the i spot is an electronic type that some boxes don't like ... Ive had some I spot's fail because it was driving too many different types of Efex. its a process of elimination.
get your devices set up on a piece of wood so you can control where all the wiring is .. that will help eliminate cross talk .. |
