Members vintage boss Posted March 18, 2013 Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 I just bought an old 1978 unit. Was wondering which batteries work the best with these; alkaline, non-alkaline, partially spent, brand new, specific brand names, etc. Thank you.

Members GuitarSlim101 Posted March 18, 2013 Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 I like my 70's distortion plus with a partially spent alkaline. There's a sweet spot where it gets nice and squishy sounding, and when the battery drains a bit more, they can get a nice sputtery thing going.

Members lefort_1 Posted March 18, 2013 Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 '78 Wasn't that before the era of the Alkiline?Pretty sure it was.... so go down to your local Walmart and pick up there shelf-brand carbon-type 9volt batts. They'll work as the old pedal expects.... and btw, yer (E) Johnson is showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
