Thanks, that helpful. I figured the draw would be high in this pedal, so I anticipate short battery life. I only ask because I go to jams where I usually only get up for a few songs. So a battery option would ease the transition. On my board, it will have power from an adapter. I found a solution on Amazon that also has a small pouch that you can velcro to the side of the pedal. I’ll let you know how it works out.
Oh, and We Want an Optical Compressor (ok, it’s just me, but I bet there are others). Perhaps the Quavicomp.
