I have a Boss DS-1 Distortion pedal. I have hardly been able to use it. After I put in a new 9V battery (tested to have juice), it seems to die within hours. I play with it, and the next day it doesn't work, even with the new battery.
Why does the battery die so quickly? What can I do to preserve its life so I'm not replacing it every other day?
When I bought it, there was a plastic wrap around the battery and I took that off. Is that what preserves the battery life?
