Re: Battery Power for loopers;Re: Corrections: Footprint of the LP-2Mini Looper
I've looked at that busking site before. Honestly, it leaves me more
confused than enlightened. Watts, amps, deep cycle, inverters...I'm a
musician, not an engineer, and I am admittedly jealous of those who
speak both languages
A generator would be overkill for me, I should think.
The Pedal Juice that Bill posted seemed like a good option, and it
sounds expensive until one starts looking at the alternatives. I've
read of folks attaching a suitable power connector to a breadbox with
a bunch of AAs, but that would only work as a battery replacement; the
Rang needs AC.
