The 3 Step Power Supply is a nice small circuit that allows you to get +17V, +25V and +33V from a standard +9V power supply! More voltage range means that your pedals will have a bigger headroom, which equals a louder output volume. In many clean boosters and modulation pedals, a higher power voltage means that you can apply a wider input signal before the pedal starts distorting.

This 3 step power supply uses an ICL7660 charge pump and creates three available output voltages from a single standard 9V power supply: +17V, +25V and +33V.
Why would you want to use a higher input voltage for your effect pedals? This 3-step power supply is specially useful when used with boosters, overdrive and distortion pedals:

– In clean boosters, when the input signal is too loud, the pedal starts distorting it instead of just raising the volume. With a higher power supply you can apply louder input signals and the booster will amplify them without distortion
– In overdrives, distortion, fuzzes… a higher power supply means that the pedal will have a higher headroom

Note: always be careful and check that your pedals are compatible with more than 9V, otherwise they might get damaged!
