| On pedal power supplies that feature 18V outputs, is this simply combining two nine volt circuits? In other words, I have a pedal that requires an 18V supply, could this be accomplished by powering it from two 9V outlets? |

If you're looking for an 18v DC power supply David, the Dunlop ECB-04 is back in production. 1000 ma. Around $15 from several online sources.
The tip may need to be changed though to work with some pedals depending on the polarity and type of plug. |

yes, you can combine two nine volt circuits to power a 18 volt pedal .
I run a distortion pedal i have at 18 volts using a voltage doubling cable to 2 9 volt circuits of a voodoo lab pedal power 2 .
you can get the cable here http://www.voodoolab.com/shop/index.php?cPath=22_24_32&osCsid=ev01vbero9a71o1537scn5ish3
I did this after noticing my fultone distortion can be run at 9 volts or 18 volts .I wasn't happy with the pedal and couldn't afford to get a different pedal . It was a cheap way to get new distortion tones without buying a new pedal
Hope that helps
