Yes, you can use a voltage doubler cable to combine two 9VDC 500mA Pedal Power X4 outputs to create an 18VDC 500mA capacity. Note, drawing the full 500mA at 18V as such will draw 9V at 500mA from each of the two outputs used (1000mA in total), which is the maximum available from the X-Link output.

Re: Pedal Power 3: Can I power a 12v pedal using one of the x-link outputs?
Yes, being 12VDC and 1A (1000mA), you could certainly try powering it as such. It might work perfectly well.

Re: Problem with Power Plus 2 and Morley Bad Horsie 2
Indeed, wah pedals (due to their inductors) are notoriously susceptible to coupling noise interference if placed in close proximity with a power supply, adapter/wall-wart, etc.
Usually, moving a sensitive pedal away from a power supply by only 2-3 inches will suffice but in extreme cases (such as some wah pedals) as much as 10-15 inches may be necessary. Thus, with a bit of strategic pedal placement this issue is often easily resolved.
That said... In the rare case that no adequate position can be found, moving a pedal (such as a wah) off the pedalboard might be great solution.
Also to note, most pedals can be placed directly over or adjacent to a Pedal Power supply and still be dead quiet. It's just not always the case for all pedals

Re: Helicon Harmony Singer 2
Powering the Harmony Singer 2 from the AC courtesy outlet with its adapter/wall-wart is a great solution (especially, since all eight outputs are already filled).It's perfectly fine to do and will have no effect on the pedals in the eight DC outputs.
Hope this helps!

Re: Maxon Rtd800 Memory man to mondo supply?
To power the RTD800 Real Tube Overdrive/Distortion with Pedal Power Mondo, use the outputs labeled 5 and 6, DIP switches in the 9V (normal) setting with a Current Doubler Adapter, part# PPAP and one of the all black (standard polarity) cables supplied.
To power the Deluxe Memory Man (24V model) with Pedal Power Mondo, use any 2 of outputs labeled 1 - 4, DIP switches in the 12V (away from normal) and with a Voltage Doubler Cable (reverse polarity, 2.5/2.1mm), part# PPEH24
To power the Deluxe Memory Man (9V model) with Pedal Power Mondo, use a 9VDC high current capacity (400mA or 250mA) output with one of the all black (standard polarity) cables supplied.
To power the Boss RC-3 with Pedal Power Mondo, use any 9V output with one of the all black (standard polarity) cables supplied.

Re: PP 2 power supply for Radial and Line 6 devices
To power the G-70 use a Current Doubler Adapter, part# PPAP in Pedal Power 2 Plus outputs 4 and 5 (or 6 and 7), DIP switches set normal and one of the all black (standard polarity) cables supplied.
Most 15VDC Radial pedals have an actual current draw less than 250mA (whereas the value specified: 400mA, etc is merely the capacity of the Radial adapter). Thus you can try with Pedal Power 2 Plus, setup:
To power your 15VDC Radial pedal (at 18VDC) with Pedal Power 2 Plus use outputs 5 and 6, DIP switches set normal with a Voltage Doubler Adapter, part# PPAY and a 2.1mm Reverse Polarity Barrel Cable, part# PPREV, PPREV-R.
Note, since both require use of the high current outputs, it is likley something will still need to be powered from the AC courtesy outlet.
Alternatively, you might consider getting a supply with more high current capacity, such as: Pedal Power 3, Pedal Power 3 Plus, Pedal Power 4 x 4 or Pedal Power X8

Re: Pedal Power x8 issue
Are you powering the Pedal Power X8 from its 12VDC power adapter?
If you try it powering only one of the HX pedals (Stomp OR FX), does it work properly as such?

Re: IOS 5 -The 9/12v 400mA outputs.
Yes but since the Mosaic is a high current pedal, there will not be much current remaining for the other pedals (ie. only 400mA total for the Mosaic and X4 outputs combined).
Also, you might power the Mosaic from on of the X4 outputs and low current 9V pedals from the other outputs (including the 9V from the 9/12V ISO-5 paired outputs).
Cheers!
