[quote name='Brookesy13' post='990177' date='Oct 16 2010, 01:30 PM']Not sure about the pedal board problem, However I have found that if theres a cable in both the input and output of the pedal it drains the power. Regardless if the cables are connected to anything else such as the amp. My advice is if your not using the pedals make sure they arnt plugged into anything. Some boss products do tend to eat battery life though, not sure about single effects but my multi effects did, aswell as my friends micro recorder. Hope this Helps.[/quote] Many thanks! New development: changed the battery and now there is nothing but a brief flash of life as the cable goes in! There's life in the old girl, but it's being bypassed somewhere. The mystery continues. I have heard Boss are very hard to get any info out of as well. La di da

Hello and welcome to my post! Have a cup of tea, you've already read quite a lot. Better? Good. To Business! I have an OC3 I got off gumtree. I love it, it sounds great. I have, however, been having problems with it. 1) It seems to eat up battery power. A couple of gigs and it's gone. 2) I had it in a boss pedal board a while ago, so plugged into the mains, and occasionally this thing would happen where all the sound stopped and I started getting an intermittent click/quiet pop noise every second or so. At the time I put it down to the board but could it be the pedal? So my questions are as follows: 1) Does it drain power when plugged in but not switched on? 2) Could the pedal board glitch and the battery eating be down to some component in the pedal? 3) Anyone had this kind of problem before with this or any other Boss single? Thanks for your time!

I'm sure this has been discussed before but i'm still a bit confused see. I'm looking to run: ebs octabass (9v 10mA) roland RC-20 looper (9v 120mA) JD Bass Wah (9v not sure on Amp) EH Bass Big Muff (9v 100mA) Akai Unibass (9v 200mA - apparently) off one power supply and still have room for expansion... All pedals naturally recommend their own power supply but what're the actual risks in running these off one supply - and what supply should i be looking for? Any help much appreciated Ta Dai
