I just picked one of these up and was just wondering is there a way to mod it for battery power?

See the power requirements on page 3.
It looks like it's possible to make a dual 9V battery box for it.
DC voltage requirement is very lenient. Anything from 9V to 24V will work. I'm sure the pedal will kill a 9V battery quick, so a dual 9V setup might work.

Cool. Yeah it probably seems stupid to even want to use batteries, but I was just thinking it might be nice if I had some rechargables. Of course id like to keep the AC too.

But how would I go about it? Im sure its more than just running two 9volts to a male plug and puttin it in rightm

According to the voltage requirements, it is exactly that simple.
Run two 9V batteries in series to a male plug.

Cool hopefully I dont kill it lol

I hope you don't either, but according to the specs you should be OK.

Yup, works like a charm. I havent tested the life on it using a single 9v but I want to get a new one first.
Thanks for the input.

Very cool.
