Using a watch battery to power pedal?

Post by finboy »

Hey all, trying to figure out an idea, I have seen a brand of pedal that runs off of watch batteries, and was wondering if anyone knew how successful it was. I am considering options with a jag rhythm circuit and thought this could be a great way to deal with that cavity, and not routing the hell out of the guitar. Thoughts?

It's going to boil down to mAh, watch batteries are not a good source of current so any circuit using them would have to be incredibly efficient.
