Powering Nano Big Muff

beer

I'm running out of room on my power supply and apparently the nano only needs 3ma. At the moment it's first in the chain of my trio plus fx loop which is powered at 500ma. I took out the nano's power supply and it still worked and sounded fine. Will I damage it doing this?

I’m not sure I completely understand... but, are you sure the muff hasn’t got a battery in it?

Arrr, embarrassing, just checked and the kind folk at ehx have put a battery in it......

Ha
It’s easy to overlook the obvious sometimes... we’ve all done it.
It’ll run for a month of Sunday’s on a battery with that current draw.

It's become self aware, it will soon recognise you as its enemy and it will go on a murderous rampage.

Sorry. Bad joke. I’ve done this before too. Never expected a battery to be supplied with one of my pedals either. Think it was the TU3.

In my defence, I'm new to all this. Can't use that excuse forever though......

So am I. 3 years in and I’m still clinging to that excuse.

Not sure with ehx but often leaving the input / output connected up drains the battery.
