FX like a COMP will draw a lot of juice & will not function very well on the low end of the battery life. Plus there's the whole throwing batteries away/enviromental thing. In the past I did try rechargeable but then some pedals simply can't be powered by batteries, like my EHX English Muffin. You'd need something on the order of a bloody Sherman Tank battery to keep that thing going for very long......." Thanks Mark, all of these factors I'm well aware of and for the above reasons, I rarely ever use batteries ,and run my pedals off of a voodoo labs pedal power. Occasionally I like to grab a few effects and busk with a battery powered amp. Also I think there is a whole new wave of rechargeable batteries looming on the horizon. I just checked out a rechargeable acoustic guitar system from Fishman that lasts several hours and takes between a minute and two minutes to recharge. Bill |
