Recommend me some good 18v Overdrive pedals
I've had an Okko TwinSonic that I regret letting go. The dynamic tone I get from its 18v mode is really unlike any OD I've tried - so open and lots of smooth harmonics surrounding each note. I'm wondering if there's any builder who makes 18v pedals out there?

You can run all of the dirt pedals from Barber Electronics at 18v. You may want to check out the LTD. Dynamic with a ton of harmonics. I love mine.

CATALINBREAD DIRTY LITTLE SECRET. I bought me one about a week ago, and i've been playing twice as much since i got it. its just SO versatile, and if you have something good to stack with it you can take your guitar into very very heavy-land.

The OCD sounds really good when run at 18 volts.

FD2 sounds great at 18v. It opens up so much more, i.e., it's more dynamic.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Never got around to trying out an FD2 but maybe I will soon. Keep 'em coming!

You can run a Tube Screamer at 18v with a Max1044 and you change out a few electrolytic caps so they are rated over 18v. The beauty of this is you can still use a 9v power supply.
