Obviously it’s a subjective question, but…
I see all the time pedals being advertised as “can be run at 18v for added headroom!” And that’s fine and all but in my experience it’s typically either a very subtle difference or - as described - just takes a little longer to break up or etc.
So I’m curious: in your opinion, what are some pedals that are appreciably improved by running at 18v as opposed to 9v?
I remember that I used to run an old FD2 in-between at 12v and preferred it there, but that’s been probably a decade now so I dunno how well my memory is on that.
