mike sent me a weird british battery in my mammoth that seems a bit underpowered, i think its whatever isnt alkaline, zinc cadmium or some shit, but ive put it in all (2 of) my pedals for AWSOME MOJO TONEZ.

oh, and those pedals look amazing. all those little bits of coated wire!

That's the aforementioned Tesco Value battery. It's not underpowered by accident. Fuzzheads love them.

the battery in my tonebender will never die, just keeps spreading fuzzy goodness like the furry hats that grow on jam

it's what i'm watching at the moment. a few chuckles before bedtime.

i too need to invest in these mojo tone batteries. there's times when i'd love the Duo-fuzz to work on battery power to see what that and the starve knob would do.

haha just after i got the boxset i was watching it like every other day. i think i've watched all 4 discs at least 3 times each by now.

and since you reminded me of that i'm gonna have to watch it again later.

it's weird, the starve knob kinda acts like a noise gate for the pedal. it's very subtle in it's power starving.

Yeah, I could have put a bigger pot in but then you just get silence for a bit of the range. the Duo-Fuzz doesn't oscillate like some fuzzes when you Starve it. It just gets gated and crispy.

Mike, could you post a link to where you found these?

"Skin Pimp" killed anything I could feel towards these pedals. Pretty soon there will be a "Don Skin Pimp" pedal line...

The gutshot of that first pedal makes me want to think about it the next time I'm gettin' down.

I think Danelectro marketed a sapped battery as the "vintage voltage" or something like that.
