I'm not sure Laurie, I was sort of thinking sideways for a bit. I always test with a fresh or known to be GOOD battery. Plus doesn't the thing actually run off 6 AA's?
I can't honestly say I heard any distortion from my V-Wah, before I packed it away. But mine was as new less the manual.
I keep the Drive control turned to the OFF position and use my proper distortion/OD pedals ahead of my PW-10 in the pedal chain. The built in distortions and memories are good when using the PW-10 as a stand-alone pedal, but the real pedals sound better (to me) and are less complicated to use. I use the Cry-wah and the Uni-V setting the most. I power the wah with it's own PSA-120, to eliminate ground circuit feedback. I have never tried batteries. I also removed the heel switch as discussed before http://www.bossarea.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3425
