Power Supply/brick

I have a EH Octavix. It is variable from 9 to 24volt. Would any of these power bricks be able to support that? I have also been looking at the MXR M238 ISO-Brick Power Supply Unit .

Currently, the most powerful power supplies on the market are Yankee Power Supplies. They have a large amount of high voltage ports. You wont have to mess with poorly thought out pedals like Digitechs for example, and how they need their own giant wall plug to work. Their flagship model even has a port for 2400ma. They are a bit bulky, so they won't fit underneath a pedaltrain, most of them anyway, but they are the nuclear power of the pedal world. The highest end supply they sell is around $600, but comes with every bell and whistle you could think of having on an electronic device. The cheapest model they make runs about $200. They are built of a very thick and heavy metal casing that has it's own pedalboard shelves built into the frame, so you don't have to order a rack/stand for it... like SOME companies force you to do.

I own a PS-M2 myself. I required a supply that would fit under the pedaltrain I had, so I don't use it currently. I went with a voodoo labs Power Plus 2. I am unable to use digitech pedals until I get an extension cord for the power supply. It's really stupid. My Power Plus 2 doesn't have a port with high enough output to run some of my pedals, so the only way for me to run them is to use the AC plug with the brick cables. Due to it being under my pedalboard, I cannot use the AC plug because it's in too tight of a space.

If the Juggernaut that is Yankee is not your style, here are some other options.
