Re: 18 Volt Pedal(s)
I'm running the SL drive at 18v. They say it gives it more headroom, but honestly, I don't really hear it. What I do hear, though, is a bit more sparkle and bite on the high end. Think what you'd get from a "presence" knob more than a "treble" or "tone" knob.
In any case, the difference is subtle, but I like it.---------------------------
The most popular thread I've ever made was 1) a joke and 2) based around literally the most inane/mundane question I could think of. That says something about me, or all of you, or both.

Re: 18 Volt Pedal(s)
Ran my ep booster @ 18v, when I had one. Definite improvement in tone. Agreed w/ St. G that I didnt notice any headroom issues but sounded bigger, bolder and clearer.
Run my Belle Epoch now at 18v. But I have not tried it at 9v.I'm an internet person. All we do is waste time evaluating things that have next-to-zero real world significance.

Re: 18 Volt Pedal(s)
My OCD (comes from the factory being able to handle it), and I modded both of my Wylde Overdrives to run 18 volts after I tried one of them that way.
With the OCD, it makes a little difference, but not much. With the Wylde Overdrive, 18 volts brings out more growl and harmonics. That mod is very much worth doing.Wanted: 1982 Gibson Les Paul Standard, Serial Number 82232531.
