Whetstone at 18V

Post by Doctor X »

are there any plus or minus to using the whetstone at 18v rather than at 9V?

I have a v1 Whetstone - can it be used at up to 18v (specifically 12v) as well, or is that something that only the v2s can do?

It sure can. Both versions are 9V - 18V.

I just got my first power supply capable of giving 18v and damn does my Whetstone sound good at 18v. It seems to speed up the phasing a little (the slowest setting isn't quite as slow and the "ring mod"ish tones go into oscillation a little earlier on the dial) but to my ears it overall sounds much cleaner. That could also be due to finally having good isolation though.
