What is this? The past?

Nothing with an adapter jack! Show us yer stomps that you only get to hear at 9-ish volts. Sometimes nearly 10, sometimes as low as 7 maybe? :idk:

Photobucket performed seppuku, they are not coming back.

I've only got two battery only devices, so they are almost lonely.

Late first generation PNP.

Electronic Sounds wah.

None of these are in my personal collection, but several 1970s pedals actually required (2) 9-volts. Excluded is the FP-777, which actually could be powered externally.

They keep sending me e-mails. Thinking about redirecting 'em to my SPAM folder. :lol:

:lol: A while back I followed a link to their page to look at an image, since they don't do 3rd party hosting unless you pay out the nose AND I STILL GOT THE FUCKING GO TO PHOTOBUCKET TO SEE THIS message. I use imgur now, no complaints.

My OG Robotalk requires 2, and it's annoying as hell. Both of my NVN pedals and both of my Monsterpiece fuzzes from way back when he started are battery only, too.

Not mine but a Rosac Distortion Blender (this one looks wired up but w/e :idk: ) or the gold brickin' Nu Fuzz tambien :joy:

Image

But I usually keep batteries in my Zvex pedals because it reminds me of simpler times tho (put it in your pocket) :hobbes:
