Battery Life
Most digital delay pedals have the distinct reputation of “eating” batter-
ies. They consume batteries quickly and it is generally recommended to
use them with powered DC adapters whenever possible. The Déjà Vu is
no exception. It is a very powerful pedal, and therefore requires great
power to operate. If you must use the 9v battery to power the unit, we
highly recommend a quality lithium or alkaline battery for the longest
battery life. A good alkaline should provide around 4 hours of use, and
lithium batteries will provide around 12 hours. While inexpensive batter-
ies will power the Déjà Vu, they will die an early death, possibly during
performance. Carbon Zinc batteries could last as little as 10 -12 minutes!
