You know, there's often a difference between theory & practice.
It's a hoot to read the friendly arguments regarding tone - 'Everything changes tone' vs. 'Nothing changes tone', that sort of thing. 
In theory, everything follows certain laws, whether Ohms law or Murphy's. But practice dictates what really is, period. Duane Allman only used half-dead batteries in his Wah pedals. He sounded pretty good to these ears.
Try this device (----->click this). Under 20 bucks, you'll quickly find out what a half-dead battery can do for your pedal's tone. Especially effective on dirt pedals. Hey, for less than a Jackson what do you have to lose?

I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs.
