Gear Watch: Batt-O-Meter

Batt-O-Meter

Ever worried about the life left in the batteries for your active pickups or your favorite effects pedal just before a gig? Keith McMillen Instruments has introduced the Batt-O-Meter, a battery tester designed for musicians to solve that problem.

The tester, which plugs into a 1/4″ jack input, can be used to check the voltage of your battery and even displays the hours of life left before it runs out of juice.

Here’s a demo:

The Batt-O-Meter can be found on most online music instrument stores for around $29.95. Get more details at the Keith McMillen Instruments web site.

In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
