In my board setup I currently have two ehx pedals that use 24v wall warts and I’m trying to tidy up using a pedal power supply. How do I power these two pedals since they dont show 24v ability. Any suggestions of supplies to use?

If so, you could use one of the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power supplies that has two or more 12 v DC outputs and is up to the current-draw of your two pedals, and connect two 12vdc jacks to Voodoo Lab’s “Voltage Doubler” adapter Y-cord, to provide 24vdc. You would need two 12vdc outs and one Voltage-Double Y-cord PER 24VDC PEDAL, though, not all of Voodoo Lab’s power-supplies have more than two 12vdc output-jacks…

(And by the way, I am NOT spamming or shilling for Voodoo Lab here, I don’t work for them and am not connected to or associated with VL in any way; I’ve just been very happy with the VL products I’ve bought- my rig is the quietest it’s ever been!- and I’d had to figure out some of this stuff before for myself.)
The large, rather pricey but very “pro” Voodoo Lab Pedal Power ‘MONDO’ power-supply has a number of outputs that are switchable between 9vdc and 12vdc; though some may or may not be up to the current draw (ma, milliamps) of your given pedals- just which two EH 24vdc pedals do you have, and what is the current-draw of each pedal (not necessarily the same as the current capability of the individual power-supplies)?
Two Voodoo Lab Pedal Power ‘DIGITAL’ power-supplies would likely cost a little bit less than one ‘MONDO’, but you’d also have fewer total power-supply outputs to potentially use for other pedals.
A pair of VL ‘DIGITAL’s would let you power two 24vdc pedals and leave you with a total of four more 9vdc outputs, all four of which would be relatively “high current” capable.
A pair of Voodoo Lab ‘4×4’ power-supplies (together more expensive than one ‘MONDO’) would let you power two 24vdc pedals and still leave you with a total of twelve more 9vdc outputs, four of which would be relatively “high current” capable.
