Powering Warhead & Dirtbag

Hello!

I'm planning on building the Warhead Vibe and the Dirtbag Delay, the 3005 version (I recently ordered the board for the latter). The thing is I don't have a proper power supply at the moment but I was thinking how useful a T-Rex Fuel Tank Chameleon would be?
Brian suggests in the Warhead document that a 200mA wall wart is required for powering the pedal, while the Fuel Tank can provide 150mA on the 18V output. Is this enough power? How much current does the Warhead draw?
I was also thinking that the 18V output would be adequate for powering the dirtbag, provided that I properly regulate the pedal's power input with a voltage regulator, pretty much the same way that the Warhead's power input is regulated. I'm pretty sure the Dirtbag won't draw more than 30mA, but will I still be able to power both the Dirtbag and the Warhead at the same time from the 18V output of the Fuel Tank Chameleon?

Thanks!

Adam.

Probably. I think it will work fine.
