18v Pedal Confusion

18v Pedal Confusion

Hello.

I finally broke down and bought me a Dunlop DC Brick and I'm confused about
the 3 18v ports.

Here is a list of my chain:

Dunlop 535Q
Fulltone '69 Fuzz (reverse polarity, can't be connected to brick)
Fulltone mini-DejaVibe
Analogman Bi-Chorus
MXR Phase 90
Boss BF-2 Flanger
Marshall Guv'nor
Maxon AD-999 Delay
EH Holiest Grail
and finally, Passive Volume

I'm not having any problems with any of the pedals except the EH Holiest
Grail. Strats are fine, but my SG starts to drive it into clipping when
it's perfectly even with the line turned off.

The mini-DejaVibe also clips, but much MUCH softer than the digital Grail.

Any insight into what I should use the 18v on and opinions in general are
welcomed.

I think I like this configuration, but I'm about to nail it down on a
pedalboard this weekend.

Check the polarity required for these pedals. I have the DC brick. I
don't have the Holiest Grail but I have the Holy Grail and I think the
required polarity is opposite for this pedal, or it may be a different
voltage; in any event, I always use the EH supply that came with it,
not the Brick. The Brick is for pedals like the Boss ones that have
negative inner conductor and positive barrel.

Do EH pedals still use the same 1/8 inch reverse polarity plug that
they used to? I haven't bought one since I got my reissue Big Muff a
few years ago. If so, Visual Sound makes an adapter that fits on
regular barrell-style tip-negative plugs. This should work the the DC
brick.

Sokar, be very careful. Using the wrong polarity can fry a pedal. Most
pedals have a diagram on the back or bottom showing the voltage and
polarity needs. If not, check the manual or manufacturer's website.

I've looked everything over and the only pedal I have with reverse is the
Fulltone '69. I wish I had ordered that power supply now.

So I'm ok in the polarity department.

What I need to know is which of my pedals can I use the 18v connections on?
Is it pretty much OK to use 18v on anything that normally takes 9v?

Out of my pedals listed above, which would benefit the most from 18v?

Like I said, my only two pedals of concern is the Holiest Grail (digital)
which clips when I play Humbuckers and have no pedals on in front of it, and
my vibe which clips a little too. Maybe the AD-999 even clips a tiny bit.

No. It isn't like higher or lower amperage. Too much voltage will fry some
pedals.

I went to Fuller's site and saw that the MDV has a voltage doubler, so I'd
run that an 9v. Then I thought to myself ... has the OP contacted the
companies, or read the sites? You need to do this. You will get a lot of
advise and comments here, but the only way to be sure is to do your own
legwork. If EH tells you 18v is OK, and then you fry your pedal, you can go
back and ask for help. But if *I* tell you it's OK, who ya gonna call?

Does everything work well on battery power? Maybe you need to check the
voltage on your Brick.

I won't be hooking any 9 volt pedal up to 18 volts anytime soon.

No, only pedals with uses only OPs would work well or even better with
higher voltage. If it has a transistor you could change the working
point or at worst case kill it.

12V is for most pedals no problem. My Behringer Vintage Phase for
example sounds better with 12V than with 9V

>Out of my pedals listed above, which would benefit the most from 18v?

None I think.

I don't know the schematics of the Holiest Grail but I think you would
fry the digital part or the voltage regulators of the digital part if
you use 18V on the HG.

Keith, WTF? Where did this comment come from? You talking about me
