Converting from power adaptor to battery operation?

Post by Freed »

I am a total noob when it comes to builds and mods so bear with me.
I bought a Barge Concepts VB-Jr which only has a power adaptor option on it.
I know that there are models which also had a 9v battery option.
I hate power adaptors and want to convert it to battery operation only?
Is it as simple as snipping the wires to the adaptor jack and installing a battery jack?
thanks for your help and please excuse my ignorance :hmm:

Or you could go this route...I use this all the time with my pedals when I want to run it them with a battery but don't feel like opening them up and installing one.
