Sorry, I can't find this online anywhere- can someone give me the dimensions? Also, does it run on 9v or 18v? The Fulltone site is sparse on the details, but they make it sound like it can run on either. |

I'll go get my pedal to get you the dimensions.

Cool to know it runs 9-18v....I was hoping I wouldn't have to use up two Pedal Power spaces to power it, and I can still boost the voltage a bit by setting a 9v socket to 12v. |

At the same time, they're a bitch to power. I already have an 18v Blowtorch and a 24v Q-tron+, so I'd prefer to not have three pedals take up six power slots  |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Atlanta, GA | | Biggest difference I could tell was a ton more headroom in CompCut mode. With a passive bass, I actually couldn't get very much clipping at all in this mode at 18v, where as with 9v I could definitely hear the 'cut' of the CompCut. Also, I felt I could more easily discern the differences between the MOSFET vs Standard mode and FM vs Vintage modes with 18 volts. The overdrive also seemed to have more effect (broader range between less and more) on the sound. I preferred 18v. Hope this helps
