Power supply issue for Pedals

Hi all, I need to power up 2 Strymon pedals which require 9V and at least 250mA each.

But my current power supply is the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power ISO-5 where it has:
a) 3 x 9V with less than 100mA
b) 1 x 9V with up to 400mA
c) 1 x 12V with up to 400mA

d) 1 x 18V with less than 100mA
Which means I can only use b) and c) due to the current requirements. But using c) will damage the pedal as it is 12V. Are there any alternatives besides changing the whole power supply?

Thanks in advance!
 
option c) will probably fry the strymon.

You can try daisy chaining option b) to see if they still manage to work.

Thanks for the reply but I thought daisy chaining will split the current but maintain the voltage? If split current, it will not meet 250mA as well...
 
Yeah but it's worth a shot to see if it works before you go out and buy a new power supply.
 
Agree with the cat.

The power supply can supply slightly more than its rated current, and it's unlikely both pedals will utilise the maximum 250ma simultaneously.
