Bassballs and battery life.

Sign in to disble this ad
I recentley got a USA reissue Bassballs. Fun pedal. For now I am using batteries. What is the life expectancy of said batteries. Also...Does leaving the cable plugged into the input drain the battery? Fuzz Faces do this. But do Bassballs do it?

Yes, leaving the cable plugged in will drain the battery.

In my experience, the BassBalls is pretty good on battery life, I tend to replace all my batteries at the same time, though, so I can't give you a specific allotment of time.

99.9% of all pedals do this.

Thanks guys.

I just got this pedal. I like it. I left my bass plugged into it last night.
Oh well. Time to get a power adapter for it.
