do you only buy pedals with a battery clip AND a boss 9v power entry?

I've always used s OneSpot, though pretty much all of my pedals that will take batteries have batteries in them just in case. Definitely prefer power adapters though, even if it does add to my ridiculous goddamn cable mess.

Gotta have snaps for my positive grounders (Sound Shank and Tone Reaper, I'm looking at you) but the rest....meh.
It's a decent option to have but I daisy chain everything else with 1Spot or Godlyke. Even my old Big Muffs usually get the battery snap attachment to the daisy chain...
Special low-frequency version.

not trying to derail the thread but you should just drill it out and add power. it is really really easy. I flipped the board over so that gives you more room in there also.

Fucking hate batteries, impractical and expensive.

there's also the problem that pedals other than fuzz can eat batteries like nachos...i could not get more than about 6 or 8 hours on a battery with my RV3, and delays in general seem to nom batteries.
