18v from a Y-cable possible with a Pedal Pad MPS?

So, I have a Pedal Pad board (can't remember which model) and it came with a MPS power supply attached. It has a number of 9 volt outlets to power pedals. Does anyone know if a y-cable will allow me run 18v to any of my pedals? I was trying to find out if the outlets are isolated or not, but I couldn't find anything definitive on their site.

Anyone have any experience running 18v off a Pedal Pad supply? I assume the MPS is similar to the Power Pad II that they sell independently from their boards.

Thanks!

Well, I also sent a message to Pedal Pad and they were very fast with a response. Unfortunately for me, the response is "no." The outputs aren't isolated, so the pedal would still only receive 9 volts even with a Y-cable. FYI in case anyone else was interested.

You could use a voltage converter like the iso-pump.

Well, I have 1 pedal that wants 18, and two that can run on anything between 9 and 18. I just ordered a Voodoo Pedal Power 2 and that should solve all my problems.
