I feel the need for my anal-retentive side to rear its annoying head... Just for the record, to correct the info here. On a standard Boss-style plugin (center negative) power jack on an effects pedal, the battery POSITIVE is disconnected from the circuit, not the negative side. Sorry for the butting in here...
