1-Spot CS-12 Power Brick -- 18v Jacks

[Winston TK]

This is perhaps a stupid question, and if so, my apologies. But, regarding the 1-Spot CS-12 Power Brick, can I plug regular 9v pedals into the 18v jacks (Jacks 1 and 2)? Is the brick pushing out 18v from these jacks? Or, are those jacks capable of delivering a maximim of 18v should the pedal actually require that?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Uhh, no, those are 18v outs, not "variable voltage as desired". I don't think the latter exists. Plug your 9v boxes in there at risk of blowing them up.

Former Visual Sound, now TrueTone, customer service guy here. In general the answer is "no". Now the long answer. First, NEVER plug in a digital pedal into the wrong voltage. Ever. Digital don't react well to this. Some analogue drive pedals can be ran over voltage. This changes the characteristics of the drive sound. Some boosts can run higher as well. Modern pedals that can do this will have it listed on the pedal by the DC jack. If you are asking this question, the best bet is to NOT do this because you need to know the design of the circuit in the particular pedal to do it safely. If you want a more specific answer email True Tone through their website and Dana will be more than happy to get you a pedal specific answer. If you are out of 9 volt outputs you CAN daisy chain off of any of the other 9volt outputs safely.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I really, really appreciate it.
