Title: how long does a 9v battery last - sunking, egodriver
Post by: B_of_H on December 16, 2010, 06:14:02 AM
I was asked to sit in with a band on nye and I'd like to just throw some batteries in a few pedals to make things easier. 

I was thinking about using my egodriver with charge pump, the sunking and an old marshall echohead.  Will the two 18v running pedals eat batteries really fast?

I haven't used a battery in years and never have gigged with them at all.

I think batteries would last you a single gig without a problem. Unless it's like one of those 3.5 hour bar gigs I used to play in Dallas!

They are going to Die fast. You'd better place a new one before each gig

they'll last 5 hours or more though right? 

the max1044's worry me, i'll probably just have to test it out.  what a pita :)  luckily I have bunch of battery things left over from kits that i've never used.

I don't use batteries, so I really never consider that part of the data sheet.
