The Juicy Lucy has max output altogether of 1500mA ( 5x300mA ).
Your fx ask for a total of 1700mA.
So essentially you need something more powerful.

(although I've never heard of damage done by hooking up an 
 underpowered supply)


It's a bad idea to run a 9V fx at 12V, unless you get
an ok from the manufacturer.

you also need to keep track of the polarity for each fx
center +VE
or
center -VE
