I wired up 2 9 volt batteries in series to run my OCD and liked the sound. I also have an old Big Muff that is a pain to change the battery.
I was planning on wiring up a DPDT switch to switch out one of the batteries so I can switch between 9 and 18 volts quickly. (To see if the additional voltage really does make a difference in the OCD)
Then I thought, I could also wire the switch to put the batteries either in parallel or series. In parallel I thought I would get the 9 volts I need for the Big Muff and with 2 batteries in parallel, maybe they would last longer.
Am I correct? Is this safe in a 1980's Muff? Will it help battery life? Do I have too much time on my hands?
