dem00n Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Anyone every try them? Notice any tone change? 9V batteries are pretty damn expensive and they last me mabye 3 months top on a pedal. Thinking about buying one of these. http://www.amazon.com/Tenergy-Charger-250mah-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B0045WGWCE/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS44 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Problem solved. though that is a better solution than buying new 9Vs all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yeah but there are some pedals out there that only run on batteries and i own two that only do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I see :/ I think there is some sort of convertor out there but I'm not 100% sure. My Vox V847 Wah is the only one which needs a battery and that thing is really light on batteries.

Dub-T-123 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Just get a OneSpot. They come with adapters that clip onto the 9v battery clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Just get a OneSpot. They come with adapters that clip onto the 9v battery clip. +1....I gave up batteries, years ago...even for home practicing! Better for the environment, too. Be advised, that some settings may have to be altered, a bit, due to the difference in current...consistant, as opposed to batteries gradually dying. But, it's no big deal.

Silenced Fred Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 go to whale mart. if you are using fuzz for the batteries (or rather, using the batteries for the fuzz) and get their cheap 2 pack of 9v for 97 cents. I swear by them (not at them), I love em for fuzz. Like Trav said, go with the one spot for home use, then batteries for gigs (at least I do, especially for fuzz) I don't like rechargable batteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yeah I think you should get a onespot and then use batteries occasionally if you think they sound a little better. The cheaper batteries sound better IMO (at least for fuzz.. which is all that matters anyways). You want the kind that are labeled "super heavy duty". These are made out of carbon zinc or something like that and they have lower output than alkaline or of course a power supply that you plug into the wall. I like the kind with the little black cat on them. They're cheap. But for your purposes, onespot is the way to go. I've been using one for years. They're cool.

dem00n Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yeah ill invest in one of those one set ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 If you go to GC or something they'll probly tell you to get a Dunlop dc brick instead or something.. Just go with the onespot it's actually better than the dc brick and I think they're cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbabig Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Problem solved. though that is a better solution than buying new 9Vs all the time. I actually have 8 of those now! 6 Danelectro adapters, 1 morley, and 1 strymon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I only buy 9v's from the 99c store/dollar store/whatever you got in your hood. I wised up and bought a 'Godlyke' brand power system from Sweetwater. It didn't cost much at all ($40 I think, it can power 8 pedals?), it has never given me any trouble after 3 years now. I wouldn't fool with rechargeables just cuz it promises to be a PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest farnsbarns Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 It's not only reduced current you have to worry about with rechargeable batteries, it's a drop in voltage too. 8.4v from a rechargeable 9v type battery. Running digital devices under voltage is not recommended especially DSPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
