USB 9-Volt battery.

Has anyone seen this before? I just "discovered" it. Seems like it might be perfect for guitar pedals.

Haven't seen it before. Looks like a fine idea. I'd have to calculate what 3.5Wh translates to in actual pedal usage.

That would be perfect for the batteries in my acoustic guitars. I always forget to turn off the onboard tuner and kill the batteries. Thanks for posting this.

Yup. I always just set my active guitars and bass down on the stand . . . forgetting that the plug is the On/Off switch.

Some of the import nano-pedals have 5v USB connectors and can be run from your phone charger. The pedal has a built in charge pump that can provide 10v to the pedal in addition to the BOSS style 9V power connector.

^^^ That's cool. I haven't seen those. I'll "google" it.

Cool idea, except the USB-C connector is incredibly small, wimpy and weak. They didn't improve things with that (the "new" USB/Thunderbolt connector spec).

Unless that's a mini-USB.

They're calling it Micro USB. I'm pretty sure it's the same as on my Android cell phone.

Micro USB is the janky one. It has two little pressure clips that wear out pretty quickly. C is the newer one on Androids. My MacBook charges with that style, seems pretty solid.

I have more probs with USB-C than micro USB.

While we're at 9V batteries.

Is there a "9v" sized battery, that puts out, i.e. 4,5, 3; or 6 volts?

-I'm using a variable output adaptor on my Joyo Ultimate Drive. ; at 4,5 volts it's a big, bold, fuzzy brown tone.

Though; - for all the pedals that doesn't have an adaptor jack. :/

...just thinking out loud!

Here's a good article on the whole "battery sag" thing. Scroll to the bottom and he shows a dirt simple way to simulate it.
