i double checked the current draw info, looks more like .1 ma ish...   still very low for either... might have to change the battery once every few years, rather than once every decade!   (as long as you turn it off when not in use,either a switch or a stereo jack type power switching scheme used in most pedals...)

Okay, so for a dual opamp in buffer mode, and a Common Source JFET with a gain of 3 I'm looking at under 0.5mA on a cheap 500mAH battery. That's pretty good any way you slice it.

I have changed the battery in my customized RD 727's boost/buffer in autumn 2008. Still works, and I play it a couple times a week. When I was gigging in 80's and 90's I changed batteries once a year - not because it was necessary, but just for the sake of "freshness" and peace of mind if you know what I mean.

My then "studio" bass ate a pair of batteries every two months ... but it made me money ... so it was a calculated risk if you looked at it from a certain angle.

How do you guys think a simple Capacitor Blend for Bass Attenuation would work out between a Mix-Pot and the Tillman. I imagine some messy interaction.

Dual Opamp -> 100k Mix -> 100k Bass -> JFET
