I wouldn't worry about operating it at 18v. It's fine at 9v.Thanks! I've been following that thread as well. That might be a bit over-kill for my basic needs. I don't plan on becoming a pedal collector as I am old school. I am happy with a good sounding bass through a good sounding amp, like the old days...volume, bass and treble! I am thinking a 1spot 9v wall wort but then was confused about Broughton's comments on 18v for "more headroom". I could always use some of that.
I'm guessing it has an op amp in there and that would clip at something under half the supply voltage. That might be an issue with a really cranked up preamp placing it post preamp. 9 VDC would be fine before the preamp, which I believe is a better place to filter out the sub noise. I'm not so sure on the single supply op amp details, dual supplies will run out of gas about 1.5 V below the power supply IIRC. It's a spec that varies by the type of op amp.
It means it should be fine at 9 v, especially if you use it between the bass and amp. 
From what I've read, the 18v is also usable by TBrs with pedal boards that have more volts available in an open power supply slot.It means it should be fine at 9 v, especially if you use it between the bass and amp.

Well almost anything. Nothing illegal, painful or immoral. But the latter is subject to negotiation

Is that where it's supposed to go? Silly me, I thought it went between the player and the bass.

People have several holes, most of which shall not be discussed here.

The plugging-in doesn't confuse me. I'm just not sure how to reach the knobs after.
Now if we just had a "high-pass filter" for musical ideas, to filter out the bad bass lines... that would probably require a neural implant. Someone needs to figure out a way to install a send-return loop in the brain.
Greenboy doesn't allow direct links to posts on his forum. I'm not approved yet either.

What graphs do you want, specifically?
Dave has a real life, he'll get to approval when he gets to it. In any case, his site got hosed by a few of the photo hosting outfits over the last few years and a fair amount of content went missing.
