In respect to this, can I use a 24V power supply on a 9V? 24V is nearly 3 times 9V so it is not a good idea.
Likewise, can I use a 5V power supply on a 9V?
In general, connecting a 9V supply to 5V device could damage it immediately, or in long term, but it is impossible to say without seeing the schematics of the device how much excess voltage it can handle. However, you are using USB devices, so the above does not apply.
Can I use an 18V power supply for a 9V pedal?
Generally you can safely plug an 18v pedal with 9 or 12 V but there is a good chance that it will work poorly… (although it might give an interesting distortion effect). If an 18V ped has digital save data, better not chance it. You may corrupt your sweet patch or loop.

Do all Boss pedals use the same power supply?
Every power supply is different. You’ve not only looking for a power supply with the same voltage as what’s written on your pedal or written in the manual, but it also needs to have the same polarity and I believe the same current as well.

Is Boss PSA Center negative?
The majority of guitar pedals on the market require center-pin negative, and therefore the result is that the majority of power supplies output center-pin negative polarity (BOSS, Voodoo Lab®, Cioks®, Truetone®, Walrus®, etc..).
What happens if you Underpower a guitar pedal?
The range can be from as low as 20mA to 1000mA, or 1A. The most important factor here is to not underpower a pedal with too few milliamps. For example, putting a 500mA pedal on a 100mA power tap would cause it to act erratically and probably shut down — it might even damage the pedal.
