Has anyone out there tried or come across any info of people powering pedals with different battery sources than the standard 9v battery.

Personally I'm looking for a lower profile option to make it easier to fit a buffer onboard a guitar so I dont need to route the pickup cavity- i was thinking itd also be cool to add a usb jack or have it easily removeable for recharging.

With all the different power requirements and the noise and cost of good power supplies.  I figured this would be a topic discussed somewhere.   I cant find anything though- can anyone point me in the right direction if youve seen this utilized or discussed on another forum? 

Thanks so much!

hmm. you could look for the batteries for remote control toy cars. No idea what voltage they supply, but it doesn't necessarily need to be 9V for a buffer. Other than that you could go for coin cells. They are low profile and cheap.
I build pedals to hide my lousy playing.
