Members AxemBlack Posted March 17, 2007 Members Share Posted March 17, 2007 BBE Free Fuzz http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/BBE-Free-Fuzz-Effect-Pedal?sku=157036&src=3SOSWXXA It says 200ma on the 'DC inlet' tag, but that can't be right can it? 200mA power consumtion is usually the domain of digital delay units etc., and it also says it has a battery life of 300 hours, but that could never be if it was drawing 200mA! Can anyone find the actual power consumtion of this pedal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StratStevo Posted March 17, 2007 Members Share Posted March 17, 2007 I would bet it's under 15Ma, but that's just a guess? Delays and digital reverbs eat batteries like they are catfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sir H C Posted March 17, 2007 Members Share Posted March 17, 2007 Below it says: Battery: 9VDC Battery Life: 300 hours that is a pretty low draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chaosStrings Posted March 17, 2007 Members Share Posted March 17, 2007 Well, I'd say: 600 mAh max for a 9V battery / 300 hours = 2mA max But that's of course an estimation (if the 300 hours is correct). Got a multimeter ? Best thing in order to know ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ultra.Fuzz Posted March 17, 2007 Members Share Posted March 17, 2007 http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/stompbox/index.php These take 300mA... 15/26 hours (+) though. http://www.pedalgeek.com/cgi-bin/new_shop.cgi?config=&uid=yQvx8wAA1174170335&command=link--bbeff PedalGeek says 600 hours!

Members AxemBlack Posted March 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 19, 2007 but there's no way a standard fuzz pedal could be really much more than 20mA, right? I just wanted to make sure! thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members andreas Posted March 19, 2007 Members Share Posted March 19, 2007 No, it should definitely not be more than 10mA tops, and probably even less than that. Most likely, 200mA is the current capacity of the adapter they include with these pedals. /Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marc G Posted March 19, 2007 Members Share Posted March 19, 2007 I think 300 hours is marketing bull{censored}.....but that's just me.... I don't think I've ever used a pedal that lasts as long as they say it should on batteries.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
