Powering Your Buss

Postby Casavettes » Fri Mar 29, 2013 6:24 pm

Anybody power their Blunderbuss at 18v?

Haven't messed around with it too much, but I kind of felt it sounded less gated at 9v.

I love this pedal by the way, seriously one of my favorites.

That's alright with me though. I love the way mine sounds and from a purely visual standpoint, I like the graphics on the first run better.

I'm sure there's more headroom at 18V, but that's not a concern of mine with this pedal.

yeh the first run have a very cool look about them
but i'm also a sucker for aluminum knobs

kyle if you're around, could you add your 2 cents to the 18v convo?

I'm the same. Definitely prefer the mountain graphics with the matching knobbers (altho the metal knobs are pretty boss too) and would almost never bother winding it up @ 18v...just a really nice option to have.
Still consistently finding sick toanz in this pedal...everytime I use it it, take a minute to dial in but then...shit-eating grin :omg:

I have the SST.. which I know can do 18, but I also a handpainted blunderbuss.
Is that one 9v only or can it handle 18?

Is it true that the Blunderbuss sounds better powered at 18v? I read that in an user review in Amazon.

I don't believe so, I think it's only the newest models can handle 18v

And I think it sounds better at 9, it's a little too gated at 18v
