PP2+ just broke and gig in 6 hours! Batteries?

DefaultM

I was playing through my HRD III, pedalboard all working. Noticed that my big box DMM sounded shit and suddenly it started squealing. Took it out and continued to play. Next thing the whole board has no power, and the light on the PP2+ won't come on. I've tried a different power lead so it's not the fuse in that. 
My amp was on the same power extension and thats fine.

I'll never get it fixed or a new one in time, so I suppose I need to know if I put batteries in my pedals will they last the 6 hours that the board will be plugged in?
I've got 2 thorpyfx drives, a demeter compulator, a polytune, and I'll put my boss dd3 on its own power supply.

Local music shop and a cheap daisy chain cable? Would get you out of a hole...

Said it a few times now! Get thee to Maplin and buy a rake of their 6AA cell battery boxes and some PP3 clip lead and suitable power plugs (take the pedals) .

For this emergency you can twist and gaffer the leads together but DO check the polarity !

Don't have a test meter? Then you are NOT "proper Rock and Roll!"

I would just daisy chain that lot with the exception of the DD3

Batteries will easily last a lot longer than 6 hours in those pedals apart from the DD3 of course.

Sorted with a daisy chain thanks. It looks hideous haha. 3 gigs with that set up before something broke. I should have stuck to the axe fx.

You're not missing a lot.

Unbelievable. Just played the first set and my amp apparently no longer has a clean channel, just all slight overdrive. I give up haha.
