Show us your AM4 boards!

Anyone using a OneSpot to power their AM4? The specs tell me it would work but I'm a little afraid to try it.
 
the connector is correct, the voltage is correct, and the stated current exceeds by 200ma - it states it can handle 1700ma (1.7amps). No reason is shouldn't work.

Many of us are using pedal-board power supplies that come in a tad under the 1.5amps (1500ma) without any issues.

Which 1spot specifically? I see quite a few different models.

I am a bit at a loss about which power supply to pick. It looks like Fractal will announce one soon. That works be a candidate 😁
 
Latest iteration. I was running with the AM4 in the Loop of an HX Stomp and it worked great, but I wanted to try it with actual external pedals. The Prussian Blue 'Verb and Carbon Copy will be pretty much always on. SL Drive will be used to goose the Amp channels as needed. Wampler dB+ is in line from the right output to my monitor feed to control my guitar volume level in the mix. Wong Press used as a Volume and Wah in front.

Still waiting on my Pirate Midi-Aero, and that may still be added to this arrangement. I plan to set it up to turn on/off the effects in my AM4 presets, so I can stay in Amp Mode 100% of the time. I absolutely HATE to need to do multi-press footswitch dances.

What is your experience using hotone wah/volume pedal? Did you like it?

I do. I haven't used it live yet, I've been a long-time CryBaby Jr fan, but I like this one because you can use it as a volume, and then push the toe-switch and it's a Wah. It sounds great in both roles, too. I haven't tried it as an expression pedal yet, so I can't speak to that.

That Collider is a great pedal.

Yea it is, the Gemini is nice too, it will run all their modulation effects too not just chorus (phase, flange, etc). The Neuro Hub makes midi a breeze, I really like the Source Audio stuff. I also have a Zio analog preamp, Atlas comp, LA Lady drive and the 10-band GEQ.

Cool - and I see, it comes with a daisy chain cable option.

I am still hoping to find a pedalboard power supply that will give me one 1500 mA output, and ~4 lower current isolated outputs for regular pedals.

EDIT: I see that the Walrus Audio Canvas HP has a 3000 mA output along with 3 500 mA outputs. Cioks Sol has 5 660 mA outputs, and I assume one can combine two outputs to get 1320 mA out, which is hopefully sufficient.

I'm using a voodoo labs pedal power 3 to power a VP4 and pedals. Will work for the AM4 also. The xlink port set to 12V will give you plenty of power for the AM4 (it will power a QC at 1.8A) and has (7) 9v 500ma ports.

I wouldn’t risk underpowering the unit at ~1.3A, the Cioks 7 would let you run 3 outputs in parallel for almost 2A, leaving four 660mA outputs for other gear.

Hmmm... The manual is pretty clear that we should use a 9V power supply. Has it been confirmed that it is OK to run it on 12V?

Otherwise, the PP3 looks really great.

Confirmed for the VP4 so I don't see why it would be different for the AM4.

Another user was running one so I went and did some research and got one myself

I use a Walrus HP and it works great. 3000 for the AM4 and a couple of splitters for the other three outputs to get five total.
