In a totally non-scientific, subjective comparison, I thought my string of fuzz sounded better with this thing than with a daisy-chained 1Spot: http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-Pro-PPDLP02- ... B004HJ3AN4

Thanks for this, I'm sure this demo will be helpful to many fuzzheads around here. One thing though: are You sure that Chameleon of Yours should be having THAT bad noise issues, could it simply be a bad unit? If it was mine I'd take it to the shop I bought it from to get another one OR my money back.

I'm still using Onespots, and for the noisiest /ticking /power hungriest pedals separate power supplies. Because I've been cheap like that.

:thumb: Good, hopefully the replacement works as it should since that one doesn't sound to me like something to be expected from such an expensive power supply.

For higher output, I've got this:

It's stupid heavy and has too many useless ports.

yeppers. i have four OneSpots now: one runs the main board, one the looping board, and i have separate warts for the Boss Slicer (which gavw me an awful ground loop when i tried to plug the Slicer into the same daisy chain as the looping board with the rack mounts between the Slicer and the loopers) and for the Street Sweeper which is too far from the edge of the board to add to the main board chain.
