power supply replacement question (wall wart)

[pete74]

So I've got a pedal power supply that would have used a wall wart that supplied 18v/1a.     Can I safely use another wall wart that puts out 18v/2a if the tip & polarity is the same?

Thanks in advance.

Probably.

You have not said AC or DC, or if both are the same.

[pete74]

Duh... sorry.. DC     Both are the same.

I'll throw caution to the wind and say yes, and just skip all qualifiers, exceptions, what-ifs and what-nots. You know what you're doing.
Upping the amperage - is that your concern? Fret not.

Power supplies don't "put out" current.  Circuits consume what current they need.  You'll be fine with the overspecced wall wart.

Just an almost off-topic add...

Wallwarts of higher current rating tend to have lower ripple voltage for the same output current ..
