For those using rechargeable batteries for pedals... Updated with solution!

If I was looking to power a bunch of different pedals, that would be horse of a different color.

Put the brick and the VE-8 on a pedalboard, and you not only have just one thing to carry, but you'd have room for expansion. You might think you're done for now, but PAS is as powerful as GAS

Lol - I'm already (thankfully) on the downward trend of that. My pedal board set up has gone from a great many to a few to one. Two on occasion. I've gone from GAS to AAS to PAS. What's next?!?

I just got mine .

I'll be testing this out this week end . Came showing a half charged status , when I began to charge
it showed only 1/4 charge - took about 5 hours to fully charge it at that point .

Very small @ about 3 lbs.

if anyone is interested, I made a step up converter myself, to power my 9v gear using a USB power bank.

it was so good, I made 2 of it.

Here you go.. the power bank feeds into the white module I made (with a voltmeter for me to check the voltage level at all times), and the module sends the output to my Zoom A3, and other 9v pedals.

Anyone have any experience with the Battery Buddy PS-2? Selling new on Reverb for only $50.

I basically bought a pre-made voltmeter from eBay and fixed it into my design.

Buy a Volto

That's neat Silverspear!!

Would you share the design of the voltage converter you made as I wouldn't mind having a go at something similar myself? Here or by PM if you prefer?
