ya know, i'm just gonna $hitcan the regulator. I wanted it because at 11.6v where these batteries charge to (and take forever to get to 9v) i wanted a more normal voltage because i was using one of the pedals as an always on pedal and i felt it changed the tone slightly. But since my last outing i decided to use the board only as solo boost which isn't crucial at all. So i'm just gonna remove the thing Too much trouble for what now isn't important.

I posted in a previous thread that I estimated the drain would be 11 mA or less for this application, which appears to be the case and compared to the rest of the load and battery capacity doesn't explain the rapid battery drain. This regulator can be prone to instability and I'm wondering if the diode is causing an issue - perhaps some HF oscillation that's either killed by, or not picked up by the DMM (some DMMs don't pick up superimposed AC on DC).Comment

Maybe. I suppose it may have been damaged during soldering. But i'm not going to bother with it due to the reasons i mentioned above. I removed it and will be fine w/o it since i decided to use the pedals differently than i thought i was going to.Comment
