Caevan OShiteParticipantQuote:So essentially were talking two voodoo labs pedal powers?
Note that you may or may not have to use some sort of small, inexpensive in-line female-to-male adapter or cable to connect a Voodoo Lab power-supply cable to your given EH pedals; I don’t know what size and style/shape jack and plugs your EH pedals have… The VL ‘site has a LOT of info to help you figure out what you do or do not need; I’d be glad to help, as well, if you can’t find the info you need there.
(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.
Caevan OShiteParticipantQuote: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?I assume they’re both 24 volts DC, center-negative? 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…
Caevan OShiteParticipantQuote:I figured it out, when you use the B9 with other pedals you have to use the power supply that came with it. As soon as you swap it out for pedal power like on your pedal board the hum starts. Make sure it is connected to its own supplied power supply and the hum goes away. Good luck…I’ve found that the B9 doesn’t like to share voltage on a daisy-chained power-supply such as a Visual Sound 1 Spot; that very annoying, very noticeable constant high, droning, whining noise can result. You can simply power it with its provided power-supply, or virtually any current-capable separate 9vdc center-negative power-supply, or an isolated 9v supply such as those of the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power line of power supplies. You can still use a daisy-chained PS on other pedals connected to the B9 in your signal chain; just power the B9 with its own separate or isolated PS and you should be fine.
My Strymon pedals also need either their own individual power-supplies, or that of a good PS like a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power unit; they exhibit some odd electronic ‘hash’ in the background if powered on a daisy-chain.
I use a few of these short extension-chords, that light up with internal LED’s, to save space on my outlet-box; they’re great for wall-wart power-supplies…
Caevan OShiteParticipantHow are you powering your B9?

Simply power it with a current-capable separate 9vdc center-negative power-supply or an isolated 9v supply such as those of the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power line of power supplies. I’d bet that the C9 is the same in this.
