I was wondering if anyone could help me out regarding voltage on the twosome. When I power it at 18v off my iso5 pedal power, the sound is very spitty. Especially when I engage the boost section on the fixed. If I'm not cranking the gain and pre on the blunderbuss it more or less has the same effect. Once I took it off 18v and put it on 12v it solved this issue. I thought more voltage was supposed to give you more headroom?
Has anyone had similar experience with other pedals that can take up to 18v?

Re: Voltage on seriously special twosome
Does the SST even take 18v?

I do believe it is. I checked before I tried mine at 18 volts, but it sound sort of sounds... not so great at 18 volts.
I went back to 9 volts right away. I was pretty disappointed.

Re: Voltage on seriously special twosome
I liked mine at 12v when I had it

Strange because the new blunderbuss sounds great at 18.

Re: Voltage on seriously special twosome
Yeah, mine went screwy at 18v as well. The Blunderbuss sounded awesome, but the fix'd got all messed up in a really bad way (esp the boost). Bad enough that I was worried I was frying my pedal.
I was using a dunlop 18v adapter, and thought perhaps I should try some others. I meant to pull out my PP2 doubler cable and give it a whirl that way, but never got around to it.
I'm kinda glad to hear someone else is having the same problem. I'll give it a go on my PP2 in the next coupla days...
