BBOD received today...No battery connector

[supersonic1414]

Hi guys-
I received my Baby Blue Overdrive today (#475 I believe) from a great seller here in the US...However, when I took the back plate off to stick a 9v in it, there appears to be no 9V connector inside..

Is this standard? Bjorn, any info? I use battereis 99% of the time now as I am not playing out with a band....Any help would be great.

Well, I think I figured this out...Apparently it is the only BBOD made this way, along with one HBOD made for the same guy, Sonny Landreth...One of the greatest slide players of all time...

The back inside cover says "to Sonny"....As cool as this is to have a pedal made for and once owned by Sonny, I am not sure how great it will work in my house where I am always swapping pedal places, moving between rooms, and usually not on my pedal board with power supply

wow!!!!! you got sonny landreths BBOD? super cool.....he's one of my fave louisiana musicians. you can TASTE the gumbo when you listen to sonny

i'm surprised he let go of that BBOD.......wonder if he still has the honeybee?

I think he sold the HB too, as I dug up an old thread on this board of someone basically posting the same thing, but about the HB. That is when Bjorn charmed in and fillled us all in that he had only made 1 each of the battery less HB and BBOD, and they were for Sonny...So Sonny must of sold them both, had them stolen, who knows
