    Will this pedal run off a 9v battery and is a mod possible? Inside looks tight to fit a battery.

    Yes, using a battery is possible, but not suggested. For one, the current draw is around 50mA so it’d be like using a battery on something like a Boss DD-7 delay pedal…you’d only get about 6 hours of use from one battery. Also, as you noticed, there isn’t a place in the pedal for a battery, so you’d have to use a “battery snap to barrel jack” adaptor…something like this:

    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.

    Got the battery adapter today. It works great and the pouch is perfect. Here is the link:
