Re: [SurfGuitar101] What kind of batteries to use in Vintage stomp boxes?

dave wronski (stickmandw) - 10 Jan 2006 14:15:12

I use Eveready Heavy Duty, or the standard silver one.
Both are carbon. I get them at the $.99 store. I use
them in my Mosrite Fuzzrite, Colorsound Tonebender,
and bothe versions of Jorden Bosstone Fuzz. They are
also the correct choice for the Rangemaster clones I
have- Don Butlers, and Keeleys Java Boost.
Also, when using these type of units, go straight in
with the guitar. No Boss pedals, or anthing else like
that, that has a lower impedance output. It screws up
the sound/response/behavior of those germanian based
pedals even when the {Boss} pedal is off.
