The battery will last a year, use 9 volt alkaline. Comes with battery.
You looking for a distortion pedal that produces a clean dynamic distortion type sound with parametric corner frequencies to adjust the sound of the guitar to whatever you like incredible sustain and compression with distortion that applies by how hard you hit the strings, adjust the gain to control the sensitivity.
Designed by Clay Reid of Atlantis Research Labs. Dirty Daddy is made in the USA.
The battery draw is 3/4 of a milliamp.
Sound sample....

The rhythm guitar is going thru the pedal, along with the lead.
Parametric corner frequency from 480 hz to 1.98 khz.
Tilt equalizer pivot frequency 1 khz.
+ or - 12 db highs
+ or - 12 db lows
The Dirty Daddy produces absolutely clean distortion and the reason why is in the two scope pictures.
In the first scope picture this is what regular distortion boxes produced they chop off 15 to 20% of the top and bottom of the wave this produces terrible distortion.
In the second scope picture this is the output waveform you could see that it's nice and round still but it's at 100% gain if you notice on the rising edge and the falling edge there's this little niche it's about 45°. This produces the clean distortion and that's the difference between Dirty Daddy and regular distortion overdrive boxes.
Frequency response.
150 hz to 50 khz + 1 db.
If you do any harmonic picking it will bring out that without any dropping volume regular distortion boxes they roll off their frequency response at 8,000 Hertz but the guitar has harmonics that go well above that range.
