I have a broshure from Anatek that claims that thier products (at least the
ones in this broushure, merge, pedal, filter, sequencer) require no
batteries or power supply.  These all seem like products that would require
active electronics.  Where do they get thier power?  I assume they have
built in batteries, but how long do they last?  Do you throw out an $80
pocket merge after a few months of heavy use?  Seems to me that it would have
been better just to put a battery slot in there so these products will last.

I dunno, this is all speculation on my part.  Does anyone who's actually used
one of these "pocket" products have any comments?
