So I've been sitting back thinking deep thoughts about
this pile of pedals (and the batteries I've burned through them),
and I'm recalling reading somewhere, like Analogman or
Keeley or one of the other mod gurus saying that power source
can vastly effect the tone of the pedal.
So I'm wondering, has anyone done any extensive testing of
different batteries and how they effect tone? Any articles of
such? Any comments or thoughts from the Peanut Gallery?
I can say, without a doubt, that I can hear a difference in quality
of output with Duracell and cheaper batteries when using my
early 80's DOD American Metal pedal. I've not done the battery
test since the late 80's, and pedals have come a long way since
then.
So is it just me and Eric Johnson that are this nutty? LOL
