OK, the hum got me ticked.
I took my pedal board apart yesterday trying to figure out why I get a hum.
Checked all my cables thinking that I had a bad one, but they are all good. I have the following pedals; Guitar to MXR COMP DISPATCH MASTER MXR TORINO OVERDRIVE CORONA CHORUS + HOF WAMPLER LATTITUDE TRIO BAND CREATOR to amp. If I go directly into the TRIO BAND CREATOR then to amp, I don't get a hum. If I take the TRIO BAND CREATOR off then hook up all the pedals inline, I don't get a hum. I isolated each one individually and all is well until I plug in the Trio Band Creator. What am I missing? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Are you running the standard power supply that came with the trio? If so try moving that power supply and cord away from your other power supply cords. I’ve heard/read sometimes if they power supply lines are all together it causes hum issues

Yeah, this is why some people use a source with isolated individual jacks like the Voodoo Labs Pedalpower stuff. It's very common for a 1Spot to produce this kind of hum with lots of pedals, or with some individual pedals. Don't get me wrong, they're great in most cases (I use one for my acoustic board) but they definitely have their limitations.

Happy to hear it’s been sorted!

The darn power supply didn't cross my mind until PTony mentioned it.
You live and learn. Thanks.

The problem is likely not that a factory fresh 1 Spot is problematic, but over time some (likely electrolytic) capacitor in the 1 Spot started to fail. Capacitors tend to short, burn up the short, and thus are healed at a state of lower capacitance (repeated a few times and you might have trouble). Eventually they are too low for the intended purpose which will be more noticeable as you draw more current from the 1 Spot (powering all your pedals was the threshold this time). Heat accelerates this kind of problem (don't leave your electronics exposed to sun light).
Another problem with low end electronics products is they might not be factory tested for some specifications (in this case for noise under high current) and a few bad ones are even among the brand new ones.

I need to replace the power source on the electric board, I can use the Truetone 1 spot for my acoustic pedals (3) What do you folks recommend? Voodoo Labs Pedalpower? I see that Truetone makes a 1 spot PRO https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...m_term=160x600 Thanks.

I also recently discovered that my OneSpot was causing a hum on my acoustic oriented pedalboard. I bought a Strymon R30 power supply and all is well.

The fanciest power supplies with isolated outputs are essentially separate power supplies for each output. They are, due to the extra complexity, more likely to fail (meaning one of the outputs gets noisy or dies all together). Nothing electrical you can buy at Musicians Friend is military spec. It is all consumer grade and except for obvious mechanical differences, about the same reliability.
