You'll have more headroom and less overdrive if any with 18V.

Which is the likely outcome for upping the voltage in any boost pedal.

I'll use the pedal 18 volts powered to overdrive my Ampeg Svt-vr pre...


So it will go well?


Thanks

Yes, that way you are getting more clean (non-distorted) gain from the pedal, and getting more distortion just from the amp head.
