My approach is that if you like what is coming out of the guitar, Dazzos in my case, all you need is a RedEye. More people, including me, don't really know how best to use all the bells and whistles.

It's more than 9 volts. More expensive studio EQ's often use multiple passive resonant filters that each have their own signal path vs a potentiometer that changes the value. Studio gear has to have more headroom as you are many times processing the entire mix vs a solitary instrument. While an acoustic guitar can have powerful transients a properly designed 9-18 volt unit should be able to handle the voltage swing.
If whatever you're using works for you that's great. The Red Eye from my understanding has a 1MegOhm input that is the correct impedance for certain pickups. It solves that issue and has very minimal EQ capabilities. Many times the struggle through a system is more about the room acoustics and quality of the speaker system.
