Boss-RV2 Reverb. Anything special i should know?

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

Hails Guys
i just Bought a Boss RV-2 Reverb and the guy that sold it to me, said that ir originally doesn´t comes with the battery clip cause its the boss pedal that consumes more ammount of energy fromall the pedal, and then it´s only uses the Ac adapter
is that True!?!?

i just got it today and it didn´t have the battery clip. and im thinking the guy is trying to ripme off or something cause the shape/design of the pedla is identically of the other ones,no physical modifications inside the batery clip.
and i´m affrai of testing it myself and burn it.
cause i don´t know it´s voltage ,and all those stuffs and i want some feedeback from you regarding it.
i have a ac adapter that i use to power my other boss pedals(Metalzone, super phaser, bass equalizer, super overdrive, digital delay)
but, not sure if i can use the same for this pedal, since it requires (at least it´s what the guy said to me) more energy than the other pedals.
can anyone clear this tome please!?!?
i m trying to find that old boss area site, but no lucky.

that doesnt sound right, i think it should have the battery clips but...

it will drain a 9v battery in a few hours, use an adapter

Hails Man
i just found that boss area site
it says that this digital reverb rv-2 drains 130 mili ampers at 9 volts
and i use a estabilized ac adapter that has 500 miliampers
This is my estabilized Ac adapter
i use it with all my biss pedals and i never have any problems,.
Input 127/220 ac - 60hz
Output 9V Dc - 500 MA

Mine has a battery clip. Boss pedals have been using battery clips since the '70s (when they were invented).

haha this is an old post. but just in case the guy who asked whether the rv2 only ran on an adaptor. yes its true, and it does not run on batteries.

i have one, i thought i got ripped when i found out that it does not have the 9v batt connevtor. but i searched the bossarea website and found the manual for the rv-2. yea it only runs on AC. and it does consumes a lot of current. i believe it still used the old school circuitry (although compact)

these rv-2's are rare. all are made in japan.

the unit is in good condition, the black paint still shines and shimmers as if its new although it has some scartches. it only come with the unit. no box and manual.

A little piece of trivia (maybe it's listed on Boss Area) the RV-2 is the only Boos compact pedal that didn't come in the standard sized box, it came packaged with an adapter.

any idea how much they would cost? searched on ebay but gave 0 results?

there were rv-3's that had bids over 100usd. would the rv-2 cost fairly the same?
