Can I pedal two corded vintage EHX pedals with PP2?

Title says it all. I have a vintage DMM and am looking at a Clone theory. Is there any way to power them both even though there is only one jack for power on the PP2? Can I use a cable that splits it into two? Or is it easy to mod the clone theory?

everytime i've had a question regarding my voodoo labs, i emailed them and they got back to me with an answer quite fast
they have awesome customer service, so that would be my suggestion.
unless of course someone on here knows for sure, then fudge what i said.

If they're vintage EHX don't really deal with them anymore.

I don't quite understand the question, isn't the PP2 a power supply? How do you expect to power corded EHX pedals without modding them?

It shouldn't be too hard to do, the Clone Theory & DMM Both require 18V internally, the DMM I think takes around 45mA the Clone Theory probably 15mA at a random educated guess.

The PP2 has like a wall power output on it. THat is what my DMM is currently plugged into.

Well you can remove the transformer from the Clone theory and install a DC Jack if the PP2 has an 18V output... or use an LT1054 as a charge pump and run it from a 9V supply.

Does mean defacing a vintage EHX pedal though...

can't you just run a power strip of the courtesy outlet?

yeah that is basically my question. should there be any trouble powering 2 pedals from that one outlet if I split it?
